## Resource

This episode is about the books that have shaped how I approach growth, adversity, leadership, and meaning. These weren’t just good reads, they challenged my assumptions, reframed how I see obstacles, and reminded me what actually matters when things get hard. Each book offered something different: discipline, perspective, resilience, humility, and clarity. Together, they’ve influenced how I show up at work, at home, and in my own head. The books: Atomic Habits – James Clear You Are a Badass – Jen Sincero The Four Agreements – Don Miguel Ruiz Mindset – Carol Dweck Grit – Angela Duckworth The Energy Bus – Jon Gordon The Obstacle Is the Way – Ryan Holiday The Tattooist of Auschwitz – Heather Morris Man’s Search for Meaning – Viktor Frankl The Last Lecture – Randy Pausch Tuesdays with Morrie – Mitch Albom La Tienda - Felipe Munoz Takeaways - Small habits, repeated daily, shape who we become. - How we interpret challenges often matters more than the challenge itself. - Meaning, purpose, and perspective can carry us through even the hardest moments. If you’ve read any of these, or have a book that changed your perspective, I’d love to hear which one and why. Like. Comment. Subscribe. #BeBetterTribe #BeBetter #BBT
