Borrowed Wisdom

Books have shaped me more than most people know. And not only books, but podcasts also. You don’t have to figure everything out alone. If you read the right book at the right time, or listen right podcast episode at the right moment, it can help you name something you’ve been feeling for years but couldn’t articulate. It saves you from learning every lesson the expensive way.

Reading amplifies your experience. It lets you borrow decades of someone else’s trial and error.

Below are a few books that have influenced how I think about work, money, relationships, health, and becoming steady. And some podcasts, too. This is only a fraction of what I’ve read — and entirely subjective.

If I had to move to a deserted island (assuming I could take my family and still write), these are the ones I’d pack. Otherwise, the list might look slightly different. 😉
