1. A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle: I read this during a flight back to the States & remember feeling impacted by this book. It's all about the path to self-awareness, detachment from ego, and living a happier, intentional life. It was profound & it'll shift your perspective.
2. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill: A classic rite of passage, this book delves into the philosophy of personal achievement and the power of desire, which motivates you to take action and achieve your dreams.
3. Four-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris: This book teaches you to redefine your approach to work and life, and inspires you to design your life, work smarter, and create purpose-driven systems (all while exploring eCommerce opportunities).
4. The Brand Gap by Marty Neumeier: If you're into business, branding, or marketing, this engaging read simplifies complex concepts and offers valuable insights that I regularly apply to my work.
5. The Alchemist by Paul Coehlo: My all-time favorite, this short yet powerful book delivers a strong message, inspiring appreciation for life and offering a gentle reminder to seek inspiration.
6. Atomic Habits by James Clear: This book taught me to unlock productivity and intentionality through small exercises (like "habit stacking") that have transformed my daily choices and habits for the better.
7. The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday: I try to read this every day – it's daily wisdom and guidance on becoming the best version of yourself. Each day presents a quote along with interpretations and powerful lessons to inspire personal growth. I resonate a lot with this book.
8. Power by Robert Greene: An interesting read that delves into history lessons and strategies that gracefully empower you to take control of your power and life, with tactics so impactful that this book was banned in prisons.
9. The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: This book draws from ancient Toltec wisdom, and presents four agreements that offer a code of conduct for achieving personal freedom and love. It's a guide to cultivating self-awareness and transforming your life.

There you have it (for now) – a collection of empowering books that have enriched my life and opened doors to personal transformation. Each of these reads carries a unique message, offering wisdom and inspiration to guide you on your own journey of growth and purpose.
