Begin with WE by Kyle McDowell:

1. Shift from “Me” to “We”
Success in leadership and life is built on collaboration, not individualism. Moving from a self-centered mindset to a collective one fosters trust, unity, and shared growth.

2. Live and Lead with Values
Clear, consistent values guide behavior and decisions. When leaders embody their principles, they create cultures where people feel safe, respected, and motivated.

3. Courage over Comfort
Choosing to do what’s right instead of what’s easy builds credibility. Leaders must have the courage to confront challenges honestly, even when it’s uncomfortable.

4. Accountability is Empowering
Holding yourself and others accountable is not about blame—it’s about ownership. Accountability encourages people to deliver their best and trust one another.

5. Empathy Fuels Connection
Effective leadership means understanding people beyond their roles. Empathy strengthens loyalty and creates environments where individuals feel seen and valued.

6. Integrity Above All
Doing the right thing—even when no one is watching—earns long-term respect. Integrity is the foundation of sustainable success.

7. Celebrate “We” Wins
Recognizing team accomplishments reinforces unity and shared purpose. When success is celebrated collectively, motivation and commitment multiply.

Brain Hacks (Adams Media)

1. Feed Your Brain Right

What you eat directly impacts mental sharpness. Foods rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and whole grains help memory and focus, while sugar spikes drain energy.

2. Move to Think Better

Exercise isn’t just for the body—it increases blood flow to the brain, boosting learning, memory, and creativity. Even a brisk walk can reset focus.

3. Sleep Is Mental Fuel

Deep sleep strengthens memory and problem-solving. Skipping rest lowers focus and creativity. Naps can also give quick boosts to alertness.

4. Train Your Attention

Short bursts of mindfulness, meditation, or even simple breathing help strengthen focus and reduce distractions—like lifting weights for your mind.

5. Challenge Your Brain Daily

Puzzles, learning new skills, or even using your non-dominant hand stimulate neuroplasticity. The brain grows stronger when pushed beyond routine.

6. Manage Stress Before It Manages You

Stress hormones cloud thinking. Quick hacks like reframing thoughts, laughter, or mini-breaks calm the mind and restore clarity.

7. Build Positive Habits, Not Willpower

Small, consistent habits (like a morning ritual, gratitude journaling, or scheduled breaks) train the brain to operate on autopilot for success.

👉 The big idea of Brain Hacks is that small, science-based changes in lifestyle, mindset, and habits add up to sharper focus, better memory, and improved emotional balance.

I stumbled upon Maybe You Should Talk to Someone almost by accident. I was searching for something thoughtful to listen to during long walks, something that could sit in that space between memoir and self-help. The audiobook caught my attention not just because of the intriguing subtitle (“A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed”) but because I was curious about what it would be like to hear a therapist tell her own story of sitting on both sides of the couch. I pressed play, and soon, I was hooked.

Lori Gottlieb doesn’t present therapists as flawless sages; instead, she shows the messy, beautiful truth, that therapists are human too, with their own heartbreaks, blind spots, and struggles. In her narrative, she weaves together the journeys of her patients with her own story of seeking therapy after a painful breakup.

Listening to it felt like sitting in a room where someone turned on the light and said, “You’re not alone in your questions, your fears, or your pain.” It’s both deeply personal and universally relatable. You don’t just learn about therapy—you experience it.

Lessons:

1. Therapists Are Human Too
Lori reminds us that behind the professional role is a person who wrestles with life just like anyone else. This transparency breaks the myth of therapists as perfect guides and instead highlights their empathy.

2. Our Stories Shape Us More Than We Realize
The patients’ journeys show how much our past informs our present behaviors. Recognizing those hidden narratives is the first step toward healing and rewriting them.

3. Vulnerability Creates Connection
Whether in therapy or relationships, letting people see the truth, messy, unpolished, raw, creates deeper, more authentic bonds than keeping up a façade.

4. Change Often Begins With Awareness, Not Action
Many of the characters (including Lori herself) needed to first see their patterns before they could take steps to change. Awareness is healing in itself.

5. Pain Is Not Something to Escape But to Work Through
Avoiding discomfort only prolongs suffering. Real growth happens when we allow ourselves to sit with pain, process it, and move forward stronger.

6. Therapy Is a Mirror, Not a Fix
A therapist doesn’t give answers but reflects your own thoughts and patterns back to you so you can discover your path. The work is always yours to do.

7. Life Is Messy, and That’s Okay
The book reinforces the idea that imperfection is universal. Our struggles don’t make us broken, they make us human. Healing is not about erasing hardship but learning to live fully despite it.

Listening to this audiobook was like walking alongside a wise friend who isn’t afraid to be honest about their own wounds. Lori Gottlieb reminds us that therapy isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with us, it’s about discovering the humanity within us.

If you’ve ever been curious about therapy, or if you’re navigating a season of uncertainty, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is more than just a book, it’s a companion.

Our excessive possessions are not making us happy. Even worse, they are taking us away from the things that do. Once we let go of the things that don’t matter, we are free to pursue all the things that really do matter.”

— Joshua Becker, The More of Less

This line immediately redefines minimalism not as deprivation, but as liberation—a way to release what distracts so we can reclaim what enriches.

Key Lessons from The More of Less

Minimalism is an invitation to clarity, not austerity

Becker grounds his message in intentional living. Minimalism is not about forbidding belongings. It’s the thoughtful inclusion of what aligns with our values and goals, paired with the removal of distractions. This helps life gain direction rather than become defined by things .

Decluttering begins with understanding why

Becker urges readers to identify their personal motivations before clearing possessions. He explores how consumerism often fills emotional voids—like a need for acceptance or security—and invites readers to name what they truly want their lives to stand for .

Small steps lead to sustained change

The book encourages starting with tiny, manageable areas—like a garage or bedroom—and using simple experiments, such as trying life without a specific item for a set period, before deciding its value . These practical suggestions build momentum and habit.

Minimalism enables generosity and purpose

Clearing away what’s excess is not about accumulation. Instead, Becker advocates redirecting the gain—time, energy, money—toward people, charity, dreams, and relationships . Minimalism becomes a force for purpose, not just order.

Cultural awareness enriches the journey

Becker reflects on how different generations view possession—from wartime thrift of older generations to modern mobility and environmental concern in younger ones . This allows readers to understand their habits within broader social patterns.

I stumbled on Your Brain Is Playing Tricks on You by Albert Moukheiber, and it felt like pulling back the curtain on the most fascinating illusionist of all—our own minds. The book reveals how memory, perception, and belief are not as solid as we assume, but instead full of shortcuts, biases, and distortions that quietly shape our reality. It’s not a scary discovery—it’s empowering, because once you see the tricks, you can stop falling for them.

Here are 7 profound lessons I took away:

1. Memory is a storyteller, not a recorder

Our brains don’t store experiences like a camera. They edit, distort, and rewrite, making memory more about meaning than accuracy.

2. Beliefs shape what we see

We don’t see the world as it is—we see it as we believe it to be. Our mental filters can both protect us and mislead us.

3. Certainty is an illusion

Feeling “100% sure” doesn’t mean we’re right. The brain loves certainty because it feels safe, but reality is often more complex.

4. Cognitive biases are invisible traps

Confirmation bias, hindsight bias, and anchoring are mental shortcuts. They simplify decisions but often trick us into false confidence.

5. Emotions hijack rationality

Even when we believe we’re being logical, emotions quietly steer the wheel, influencing judgments and choices.

6. Doubt is a strength, not a weakness

Questioning your assumptions isn’t insecurity—it’s intellectual courage. Healthy skepticism keeps us adaptable and open to truth.

7. Awareness is the antidote to deception

By learning the brain’s tricks, we become less reactive, more mindful, and more compassionate toward ourselves and others.

✨ Final Reflection

This book showed me that my brain is less like a flawless computer and more like a creative artist—prone to errors, but full of insights if I look closely. By embracing the idea that I can be wrong, I open myself up to deeper wisdom and a more authentic view of the world.
