The Power of Vulnerability, by Brene Brown
. Perhaps the single most important book I’ve read this decade. If you read nothing else this year, buy this audiobook and listen. You’ll never see stoicism and “tough men” the same way every again. It will change your life.

The Journey of Desire: Searching for the Life You’ve Always Dreamed Of, by John Eldredge. This book drastically changed the way I saw my adult life. I was stuck in a dead-end job doing something I hated, and Eldredge made me hope, seethe, and cry at the same time.

How the World Sees You: Discover Your Highest Value through the Science of Fascination, by Sally Hogshead. You’ve taken all the standard personality profile tests like your DISC and your Myers-Briggs. Maybe you even dress your truth. But Sally Hogshead’s work shows you how the rest of the world sees you, and focuses on your greatest differentiators, not just your greatest strengths. Strength for strength comparisons still breed commodity mentality. But finding what makes you different and doubling down on that difference can help you blaze a trail that no one else is uniquely qualified to blaze.
