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.

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.

What Are You Sporting About? educates, motivates, supports and guides aspiring, current and former professional athletes (“pros”) by providing thought-provoking conversations and tools to implement in creating, maintaining, and sustaining wealth.

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.

Whether it’s the news, weather, or even people, this book provides the perfect escape. For six months in the 1930’s English countryside, a 17-year-old girl called Cassandra lives with her eccentric family in a practically derelict, but oh-so-bohemian, castle. As a fan of Downton Abbey, it’s a must-have accompaniment to a cup of tea and some toasted bread.

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.

The Mental Toughness Handbook by Damon Zahariades

This product was recommended by Shannon Serpette from The Design Home

In my experience, one of the first things you need to do when you want to overcome something is work on how mentally tough you are. Mental toughness is something they don’t teach you in school, but you can develop it by practicing a particular set of habits. This book gives you the road map for increasing your mental toughness, so whether you’re handling a health crisis, a personal problem, or any other kind of issue, it’ll give you some new tools for sailing through it.

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.

KardBoard House by Nancy T. Espuche

This product was recommended by Nancy Espuche from KardBoard House

Nancy Tiegel Espuche is a speaker, author, mother, and advocate. She wrote KardBoard House, a memoir to give voice to the loving, tender, and often difficult exchanges between Lucas and herself during his years of opioid addiction. Their story highlights their unbreakable connection and the profound realization that only Lucas and not she had the power to change the course of his life.

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!
