Fabulous book that digs into what truly motivates us, and challenged my traditional notions of motivation. I found that it offered great insights into research and engaging storytelling, and I understand better what drives me to excel in my endeavours and find fulfillment in my work and my life

One of the most powerful books I know of. Hendricks explains how to honour our zone of genius with wisdom and a no-nonsense approach. He explores the concept of the "Upper Limit Problem" as our #1 self-sabotage habit, and offers practical strategies for breaking through them to reach new levels of abundance, love, and happiness. Seriously a powerful read!

I discovered Dr Epel via a talk she has on Insight Timer. Her book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and addressing the impact of stress on our physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Drawing on research in psychology and neuroscience, Epel offers practical strategies for managing stress and promoting resilience, from mindfulness practices to lifestyle modifications. I love her colour-coding, too!

The first self-help book I ever read, without knowing what it was! It is the story of John, who finds himself sitting at a random cafe in the middle of nowhere, facing a platter of food and three questions on the menu:

Why Are You Here?

Do You Fear Death?

Are You Fulfilled?

I have read this book at least 10 times!

The Big Five for Life is an inspiring story of great leadership, of savvy decision-making, and a powerful reminder that successful leaders are not just in the business of business - they are in the business of life. I learn something new about myself and about leadership everytime I read this book, and highly recommend the read!

Be inspired to take ownership of their lives, build meaningful relationships, and achieve success with integrity and purpose. I have not yet read this book but it is very popular and highly rated.

Building upon the foundation laid in "The 7 Habits," Covey introduces the concept of finding one's voice and inspiring others to find theirs, thus unleashing the full potential of individuals and organisartions. I have not yet read this one either - it's very thick, but again, highly rated!

The version I have is the 2019 one.

An absolutely no-nonsense, honest approach to making money and spending it on the right things. Pape is a down-to-earth, honest and knowledgeable man and I have a lot of respect for the work he does around financial education and social impact.

Highly recommend applying the principles in this book to build financial security regardless of your situation or income.
