hen I'm asked what one thing would I change when I was 25 my answer is a fast "read more." Audible on 2x speed has always been my excuse (and still is to some extent) but now I realize that going deeper, not broader, is more valuable.

Here are a few of my favorites. I'm sharing because these have either brought me insight or joy. Sometimes both. May they do the same for you. Where possible, I have included a link to my highlights, a separate post where I describe the book a bit more, or Amazon (for clarity only). This may also include other forms such as articles, podcasts, or speeches. I hope you enjoy it and please send any recommendations my way too.
