🔨A Tool Made Just for You🔨 If you are like us, then you are a "lifelong learner". There's always a new way of looking at things out there, and these are some of the books that we thought were powerful, hilarious, and insightful. 1. Overture of Hope | Isabel Vincent: an inspiring book about what any "ordinary" person can do to have an impact. Two middle-aged, opera-loving sisters single-handedly saved Jewish musicians from the Third Reich. 2. Sure I'll Join Your Cult | Maria Bamford: nominated for LA Times Book of the Year award, this hilarious memoir gives an insightful look into comedian Maria Bamford's mental health journey. 3. Existential Kink | Carolyn Elliot: if you've read "self-help" books and they haven't resonated with you, try this one. It's more "intuitive" in our opinion, and it helps us unlock long-standing issues that we were having trouble with. 4. Braiding Sweetgrass | Robin Wall Kimmerr: a biology book that reads like poetry, full of indigenous wisdom as well as science. 5. 1491 | Charles C. Mann: for most of us, the history of North America begins with Christopher Columbus (or maybe the Pilgrims), but what was life like before? This book answers that question. A wonderful partner to Braiding Sweetgrass. 6. Maid | Stephanie Land: inspiring book about a single mom determined to create a better life for herself. 7. The New Menopause | Marie Claire Haver: written by a female MD who had thought peri/menopause didn't really exist until experiencing it herself. Great to read with last year's recommendation The XX Brain. 8. Babel | R. F. Kuang: a magical surrealism, alternate history allegory of tokenism set at Oxford University. It's a powerful statement about institutional racism and won the Nebula and Locus awards in 2022 and 2023 respectively. 9. Hidden Valley Road | Robert Kolker: twelve siblings, six diagnosed with schizophrenia. A family with secrets that appears to be living the American Dream, and one sister's journey of healing the trauma she experienced.
10. How Not to Die | Dr. Michael Greger: the changes recommended in this book helped Alegre lower her perimenopausel-induced high cholesterol by 20% in only two months with dietary changes alone. Alegre also recommends his other two books How not to Diet and How not to Age. 11. Anything we've written! Our short workbooks are designed to make your life better!
