You read some books at the right time. Something in them shifts the way you think.
It could be that you've been leading up to that shift for some time. Perhaps the book has a completely new idea to you.
I read a lot of books that changed things for me this year. Here's a list:
- Braving the Wilderness - Brene Brown
- Rising Strong - Brene Brown
