What better way to start the year than with a book about habits!! January is when our ambition is at an all time high and this book helps us stop hoping for success and, instead, start building systems that support the way we actually work, especially when things get busy or messy.
Atomic Habits is about how tiny, repeatable choices quietly shape who you become, and why consistency matters more than motivation when you’re building something that has to last.
After starting the year by focusing on habits and consistency, this book asks a harder, more honest question: what actually deserves our time. It’s a chance to zoom out early in the year, and choose how we want the rest of the year to feel.
Four Thousand Weeks is about coming to terms with the fact that time is finite, and learning to make choices from reality instead of fantasy productivity.
When sales are picking up, we're cementing in our year, it's the right moment to sharpen how we communicate, set boundaries, and advocate for ourselves in real conversations that actually affect our work, money, and decisions.
Never Split the Difference is about using empathy, listening, and psychological insight to navigate high-stakes conversations and negotiate outcomes without compromising your position.
After doing the internal work around habits, time, and communication, this is the moment to turn outward and make sure what you’re building is actually clear to the people you want to reach. It helps tighten language, simplify decisions, and remove unnecessary confusion before the year gets louder.
Building a StoryBrand 2.0 is about clarifying your message so people immediately understand what you do, why it matters, and how to take the next step.
What kind of marketing heavy membership would this be without a marketing book!? This book helps us understand what actually catches on and why, so you become more intentional of your growth rather than guessing or chasing attention.
Contagious is about why certain ideas, products, and messages spread, and how social behavior drives what people talk about and share.
Summer is the perfect window to slow down and add personality, care, and thoughtful details into how you work. Before Q3 and Q4 turn into a full-speed fever dream, this book invites us to invest in experience as something that makes you a memorable and exciting partner for clients.
Delivering Happiness is about building a business around customer experience, culture, and long-term trust rather than short-term tactics.
This book will blow your mind, but better it will also help you think about ways you are genuinely in service to your work, to your clients, to your team. This follows "surprise and delight" and raises the bar in a really cool and interesting way.
Unreasonable Hospitality is about creating standout experiences through intention, creativity, and genuine care, even in work that feels routine or constrained.
As the end of year approaches and gets more busy, this book helps us recognize when we’re reacting on autopilot and when it’s worth it to slow down. It gives us a clearer lens for evaluating choices, spotting bias, and making more deliberate calls in work and life as things get fuller.
Thinking, Fast and Slow explores how we make decisions, the shortcuts our brains rely on, and the blind spots that quietly influence judgment.
I love this book as a way to think about the end of year / start of a new one so you can start brainstorming through Q4. You'll think about what you're doing differently and how to create compounding opportunity for yourself.
The Tipping Point looks at how ideas, behaviors, and movements spread, and why small shifts can suddenly create outsized momentum.
November is busy and can be draining which is why I'm giving you a lighter, fluffier, less "thinking" more "dreaming" book. This book helps you think about creativity differently so you aren't judging yourself, or living small, but instead making a creative life you love.
Big Magic is about creativity as a long-term practice, how ideas find us, how fear shows up, and how to keep making things without overidentifying with the outcome.
December is a natural moment to slow down and take stock of where your time and energy actually went this year. This book helps you close the year with clarity, decide what’s worth carrying forward, and set cleaner priorities before the next cycle begins. The most flawless "end of year" book tbh.
Essentialism is about focusing on what truly matters, cutting out what doesn’t, and making deliberate choices instead of reacting to everything.
