Good Books to Read for Inspiration, Adulting, & Being a Better Human

Here’s An Ever-Expanding List Of Books To Read…And ReRead

I think something that everyone can agree on is that hearing something from another person’s perspective can be really helpful. Need books for inspiration so you can muster the courage to sell all of your belongings and travel more? Check. Thinking about being an entrepreneur or starting a side hustle? There are books for that. What about just some good old self-help books with a really creative slant to them? Got em’. There are also very important books to help you to value others equally and be a stronger ally.

I’ve read and reread all of these books, and will continue to do so, since many are so full of deep information they require rereading regularly.

Some of these books have really gotten me through some dark times, and others are just good old-fashioned guidebooks for life.

OK. Enjoy! Share with a friend!

I reread The Alchemist yearly. And Into The Wild is my kryptonite when I’m becoming complacent and in a rut in one place.

Between the words or the soundtrack to the Into The Wild movie, I can be rattled to my core and shaken into action almost immediately. (I can also break down and cry like a baby pretty quickly…)

This area of learning has been quite uncomfortable for me. But the beauty of discomfort is that it typically signifies heavy growth.

It is equally uncomfortable to begin to impliment positive change internally and externally once we realize it’s beyond necessary.

These are really good books to read, and will definitely help.
That said…much of the work is still ahead of us once we close the covers.
