Jenny Blake’s Pivot trains readers to prepare for the next move, taking baby-steps to stay on their toes and follow an upward trajectory in their work lives. With flexibility, strength, and consistency, you can turn your career around.


"When it comes to our careers, learning to pivot is Plan A. Pivoting, within our roles and throughout our careers, is the new normal."––Jenny Blake

Pivot is an empowering read that will encourage you to take control and use your strengths to overcome change while planning ahead to fulfill career goals.



2. The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin


Gretchen Rubin highlights four personality tendencies that explain how each type of person responds to inner and outer expectations: Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, and Rebel.


While this may seem unremarkable, it can hold the key to understanding why people do things, enabling you to work optimally with them.


These tendencies encourage you to examine your own personal strengths and weakness, learn and recognize the other tendencies, and engage productively with all types of people.


The Four Tendencies will completely change the way you view yourself and others, facilitating happier, more harmonious relationships and increased self-awareness for a more fulfilling life.

“You have the responsibility to shape your life. You are the person who pushes yourself forward or holds yourself back. The power to succeed or fail is yours alone.”––Gary Mack


Sports Psychologist Gary Mack’s Mind Gym pushes readers to rethink their mindset and its effects on performance and success. Through anecdotes, advice, and acronyms, Mack outlines key points for mental “muscle.”


Packed with inspiration and lessons, Mind Gym will leave you prepared to make a change, build confidence, achieve your dreams, and never give up.



4. Who’s in Your Room?: The Secret to Creating Your Best Life by Ivan Misner, Stewart Emery, and Rick Sapio


What if you lived in one room for your whole life and everyone who entered could never leave?


Dr. Ivan Misner proposes this scenario in Who’s in Your Room? while consistently pointing to his ultimate lesson: you are the designer of your “room.” This room illustrates your life and the power you have to create your personal network based on your values and passions.


While you can’t always control the people you work and live with, Dr. Misner provides tips and approaches to most effectively manage everyone who is in your “room.”


Asserting that your quality of life is a direct reflection of the people who you’re surrounded with, Who’s in Your Room coaches readers to take control of their lives in order to flourish and thrive.
