Reinventing Hannah is an empowering novel about a young woman who transforms from silent to survivor.

An Enemy Called Average by John Mason
This product was recommended by Nikita Verma from PurpleCrest Management Consulting
This book has truly transformed my life. John Mason encourages you to push your limits. This is a great book on how we can take small steps not to live the average lifestyle and how to be great at what we do. Learning how to build on our strength and soar like eagles are some of the lessons in this book. This is a quick read but includes a bundle of information. I loved the use of parables and stories to get the message across. I would highly recommend this for anyone overcoming challenges.
In Order to Live by Yeonmi Park
This product was recommended by David Farkas from The Upper Ranks
A real story of Park’s harrowing ordeal as a child growing up in North Korea, where she and her peers were frequently starved and threatened, how she was successfully smuggled into China at the age of 13, where she endured even more difficult years after being sold into slavery, and how she eventually made her way to South Korea. However, while Park’s tremendous persistence of spirit and compassion are inspiring, his narrative is incomprehensible and terrible at the same time.
Eyes Wide Open by Isaac Lidsky
This product was recommended by Gelen Revilla from Good Noise
An inspired book, easy to read with touching life stories. Perception is never a passive process to take in the objective truth of the reality around you. In every moment, you are making educated guesses to construct an internal, conceptual understanding of the world. You frequently mistake this conception for a genuine article. You take this for granted.

Pros have reached the pinnacle level of sporting success but must remain true to their purpose and strategically plan the legacy they wish to leave or return home the way that they left.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
This product was recommended by Nancy Belcher from Winona
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite books, and “overcoming” is a definite theme. The main character, Santiago, must conquer many obstacles during his quest to discover and find his “personal legend.” In his case, that is a buried treasure at the Egyptian Pyramids. On his quest, Santiago exhibits an unrelenting determination to squash every stumbling block he encounters along his way. The Alchemist is a great example of how we all have to lean into blind faith at times in order to overcome.

How Women Rise by Sally Helgesen
This product was recommended by Mandy Yetter from Time4TransformationLLC
This is a great book about overcoming habits, more common to women although not exclusive to women, that hold may be holding you back. What I find most interesting about the book is that many of the habits are things we often take pride in and yet we are unaware of how they may be perceived by others and/or how many of the culturally expected habits may hinder us from living a life we would love.

This product was recommended by Shannon Serpette from The Design Home

The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday
This product was recommended by Sally Stevens from FastPeopleSearch
I love this book. The ideas aren’t entirely new. It’s more like the author has taken the most important aspects of wisdom and compiled it into effective examples and phrases that really hit home. I’ve underlined every page. It’s really helped me be less reactive, more intentional, more disciplined, and even keel. I wish the book was longer and that there were more authors writing about this philosophy. The premise is simple: focus your energy on the things that are in your power to change, and don’t waste your energy on emotional turbulence or hyper-analyzing everything. The reason this philosophy has the power to inspire so many more books is that it can apply to every aspect of our life: how and whether we muster the courage to make a change, how we drive our cars, how we schedule our days, what we choose to eat, how and whether we resolve conflicts.

Don’t Bring Your Vibrator to Rehab by Pam Gaslow
This product was recommended by Jennifer Johnson from Stephanie Wolf Public Relations
Many ask, is pot addiction even real? Pam Gaslow doesn’t claim to be an expert, but for her, it was very real. Her addiction completely devastated her life, hitting rock bottom with a nasty case of marijuana toxicity. Then, she had to go through the painstaking – and slightly hilarious – process of finding a rehab while high. The whole experience inspired her to write Don’t Bring Your Vibrator to Rehab: A Somewhat Comedic Memoir, a deeply personal account of her tragic yet funny downfall. Written in her trademark comedic style, it’s the story of one woman’s effort to get her life back by getting sober. This book is for anyone struggling with addiction, struggling to love someone who suffers from addiction, or simply looking for inspiration to face the scariest parts of life head-on with honesty, clarity, and of course, humor.
#GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso
This product was recommended by Rohan Kadam from BikingKnowHow
Sophia Amoruso is an absolute legend. I like the fact that she organically started a company without even realizing it. Those small things like having attention to detail to deliver the highest level of service you provide to your customers, to ensure it’s clear they are valued and appreciated. She cared less about what others thought about her and she lived life on her terms. Her journey of starting a successful business from scratch is very inspiring. Sophia simply ROCKS!
