4. Drain the Shallows
Vanessa van Edwards
I’ve always believed that communication is more than just words—it’s about how we show up. Cues reinforced that in a big way. Vanessa Van Edwards does an incredible job breaking down the small, often overlooked signals that shape how we’re perceived—our body language, tone of voice, and even the microexpressions we don’t realize we’re giving off.
One of my biggest takeaways? Confidence isn’t just about what you say—it’s about what you signal. Whether you’re leading a team, networking, or interviewing for a new role, mastering these nonverbal cues can make a huge difference in how people respond to you.
Brian Moran and Michael Lennington
If you've ever struggled with motivation, follow-through, or the feeling that you're not quite in control of your progress—this book is for you.
Uncommon Accountability flips the script on traditional ideas of discipline and pressure. Instead of framing accountability as something done to you, Moran and Lennington show how true accountability is something you choose for yourself. It’s about ownership—not blame. Clarity—not control. And it’s one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make, whether you’re leading a team or managing your own goals.
This book helps you understand how to create meaningful commitments, build trust (with yourself and others), and stay aligned with your most important goals—even when things get tough.
Richard Bolles
If you’re feeling stuck, ready for a change, or simply unsure about your next career move, this book is one of the best places to start. For over 50 years, What Color Is Your Parachute? has helped people figure out not just how to get a job—but how to find the right job. It’s packed with practical advice on everything from writing a great resume to navigating interviews and negotiating salary. But the real power of this book is how it helps you understand yourself—your values, your strengths, and what kind of work will actually make you feel fulfilled.
In a job market that’s constantly shifting, that kind of clarity is gold. Whether you’re re-entering the workforce, thinking about a midlife pivot, or just wondering what’s next, this book will meet you where you are—and help you take the next step with confidence.
