I really enjoyed this book because it frames my own diverse experiences and skillsets as a strength when the world seems to always say “specialize!”
Range: Why Generalists Triumph - Epstein

Nudge: The Final Edition by Thaler & Sunstein
It’s a little bit woo woo but has many great points for awareness of your own mind and how you allow yourself to stay in familiar patterns vs. do what you know you really should
THE TOOLS
Excellent book for navigating conflict as a couple. It’s really helpful to figure out your/your partner’s argument “style” and then know how to approach that style in an effective way. Highly recommend this book!
