## Resource

In this episode, I share seven books I read, or returned to, in 2025 that helped me stay disciplined, grounded, and clear-headed heading into 2026. These aren’t trend-driven recommendations. They’re books focused on hardship, meaning, faith, resilience, and personal responsibility. Some pushed me physically, others reshaped how I think about suffering and connection. All of them helped me show up better in my life and leadership. Books Discussed in This Episode The Stability Equation Discipline Equals Freedom Field Manual The Wim Hof Method What Doesn’t Kill Us Man’s Search for Meaning Lost Connections The Amplified Bible Read the full post and resources: https://peopleprocessprogress.com/2026/01/01/7-books-to-start-2026-strong/ Own your mind.
