This was the first book that made me question everything I believed about money. The concept of assets vs liabilities sounds simple until you realise you've been thinking about it backwards your whole life. I read it in two sittings and felt genuinel...
Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Kids....The Book That Taught Me Financial Education
 
Shafna profile picture
Many read this in one sitting. The idea is so simple it almost sounds too easy — let people do what they're going to do, and stop making it your problem. But actually living it changes everything. You might have thought about the main concept almost ...

The chapter on habit stacking completely rewires everyone mornings. What I love is that James Clear doesn't tell you to be more motivated — he shows you how to design your environment so that the right behaviour becomes the easiest thing to do. You c...

This book annoys you a little at first — the tone is deliberately blunt — and then you will realised that was exactly the point. Mark Manson isn't telling you not to care about anything. He's telling you to be deliberate about what you care about. Th...

It changes what anyone eats for breakfast after reading this. The connection between metabolic health and mood, energy, and mental clarity sounds obvious in hindsight but I had no idea how directly they were linked. One of those books that makes you ...
Good Energy: The Surprising Metabolism Link

I enjoyed reading this book a lot. Robin Sharma teaches the 20/20/20 morning rule — 20 min move, 20 min reflect, 20 min grow — and it sounds extreme until you actually try it. I was skeptical and now I'm a convert. The story format makes it feel less...
The 5AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Life

Set during the Armenian genocide, this novel quietly made me question how ordinary people make impossible choices. It's heavy and honest — a boy navigating faith, friendship, and survival in a city falling apart. Not an easy read but one of those sto...

Dr Julie Smith breaks down what she teaches actual patients — on low mood, grief, motivation, inner criticism — in language that feels like a conversation, not a textbook. The section on self-compassion alone was worth the whole book. This can be rec...

Morgan Housel makes one argument across the whole book: how you behave with money matters far more than what you know about it. Short chapters, real stories, zero jargon. You can read this slowly and kept stopping to think. One of those rare finance ...

This book completely changes how you respond when your child melts down. Dr Becky Kennedy reframes 'bad behaviour' as a child who needs connection, not correction — and once you see it that way you can't unsee it. Practical, warm, and it genuinely ma...

The 'name it to tame it' concept in this book alone was worth reading the whole thing. Siegel and Bryson explain how a child's brain actually works during emotional moments — and why logic doesn't land until connection happens first. Pairs perfectly ...

You can read this during a career crossroads and it quietly reframed what success even means. The Japanese concept of ikigai — the reason you get up in the morning — sounds simple but sitting with the four circles and answering them honestly takes co...

This book made me realise that avoiding hard conversations is its own kind of unkindness. Brené Brown on courage and vulnerability is powerful whether you lead a team, a family, or just yourself. The section on armoured vs daring leadership changed h...

The premise sounds whimsical — a library between life and death containing every version of your life you could have lived — but this book made me genuinely grieve paths not taken, and then feel grateful for the one I'm on. I ugly-cried. In a good wa...

This is not a religious book, but one about the spiritual evolution and freedom of the soul. The author describes how the planet and humanity were basically highjacked a long, long time ago. Christianity as we know it today is also a product of that ...
