Energy Leadership: Transforming Your Workplace and Your Life from the Core, by Bruce D. Schneider
Schneider’s very powerful concept of “Core Energy” and how it is applied is illustrated in this book. Highly recommended.

This is a practical guidebook for navigating tough transitions in a group setting. Extremely helpful and effective.
Hamlet’s Blackberry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age, by William Powers
William Powers uses historical references to help us understand how we can and should disconnect from digital periodically. Both interesting and thought-provoking.
StrengthsFinder, by Tom Rath

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, by Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle discovered the immense power of living in the present moment; in his book he tells about how it impacted his life. It’s a great book.
A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy, by William B. Irvine
Contrary to the Western definition of “Stoic”, Irvine references the Greek philosophers and their different approaches towards life and joy. Highly recommended.
Breast Strokes: Two Friends Journal Through the Unexpected Gifts of Cancer, by Jane Flint and Cathy Edgett
One friend was diagnosed with breast cancer; the other partnered with her to “co-write” their way through the journey from diagnosis through recovery. Beautiful, moving and heartfelt.
