  • If you’re stuck because you either regret the past or fear you’ll regret your choice to change this is a must read:

    The Power of Regret by Dan Pink - https://www.danpink.com/the-power-of-regret/

  • If you need motivation, I highly recommend Bryan Stevenson’s book plus his ABA Medal Speech where he talks about how law will only move towards justice if lawyers are willing to deal with discomfort and inconvenience. He says that “justice is never comfortable or convenient.” (And for me, that applies to our career choices)

    Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson - https://justmercy.eji.org/

  • Wonder why you feel dissatisfied despite being “great” at what you do? You may be stuck in an “excellence trap” (i.e. mired in doing what you’re validated or rewarded for but do not grow from doing).

    The Genius Zone by Gay Hendricks - https://www.geniuszonebook.com/

  • Wish you could hear your “Calling” or have a clearer sense of purpose? Check this out!

    Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life by Gregg Levoy - https://www.gregglevoy.com/callings/index.html

  • Looking back, no one wishes they’d worked more. In fact, they wish they would have been truer to themselves, let themselves be happier or worked less. An essential read if you’re on the fence about a decision in life.

    The Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware - https://bronnieware.com/books/
