In this video, I’m sharing a list of books that might help you level up in 2026—but I’m not going to lie to you and say they’ll magically change your life overnight. What I will say is: if you take the time to read them, they’ll add to your knowledge, shift your perspective, and help you see life differently. And I genuinely believe knowledge is power, regardless of where you get it from. I start with “Lessons in Stoicism” because it’s small, easy to understand, and it teaches the difference between what you can control and what you can’t. Then I talk about “Atomic Habits” (yes, I know, broken record) because small changes really do compound—1% better every day adds up. I also recommend “That’s So Bold of You” for confidence, boundaries, and choosing yourself intentionally, plus “Rich Dad Poor Dad” as a controversial but useful starter for money mindset and understanding assets vs liabilities. Finally, I end with Dr. Julie Smith’s “Open When,” which feels like therapy in a book—something you read a chapter at a time when you’re dealing with pressure, difficult people, or fear of showing up.
