A Guide for the Guides
Revisado: 05-01-25
This book offers calm authority without condescension. That’s rare in parenting advice books. Dr. Townsend reminds you that you’re the parent. You set the tone. And boundaries are not punishments. They’re tools for love and clarity.
Dr. Townsend balances firmness with empathy. It’s not about controlling your teen. It’s about guiding them with consistency, consequences, and connection. This book has actual strategies to use when tempers flare.
This book reminds you that boundaries aren’t walls, they’re doors. And you still hold the key.

Historia
Entering the terrain of wisdom comes at any age. We sometimes step, sometimes stumble, and other times are pulled into the territory of the Crone when the need for a deeper, larger understanding of our most meaningful paths in life can no longer be denied, and when the gifts are hidden in our challenges must be brought forth.

Affirming
Revisado: 05-01-25
In The Power of the Crone, Clarissa Pinkola Estés uses story, myth, and poetic truth-telling as she invites us into the deep, fertile terrain of later life, not as decline, but as deepening.
Estés writes like a mystic psychologist: fiercely loving, unafraid of darkness, and fluent in the language of the soul. The Crone is a force of insight, vision, and unshakable presence. This is the stage of life where we stop asking permission and start embodying our full knowing.
If you’re older, and awake, this book is both affirming and electrifying. It reminds you that the second half of life isn’t about fading. It’s about finally seeing in the dark.

Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.

Consistency Wins
Revisado: 05-01-25
Atomic Habits is about understanding how tiny, consistent actions compound into lasting change.
Atomic Habits is a sneaky little manifesto about how the tiniest shifts can lead to the most profound transformations. This isn’t motivational fluff. It’s reengineering for behavior. Clear reminds us that identity change, not just behavior change, is the key. You don’t “try to write”; you become a writer. You don’t “get in shape”; you become a cyclist.
Sometimes, the best habit to cultivate is a sense of humor about the whole damn thing. Because if you can laugh at your own routines, you can change them without losing your mind. If you’re someone who’s driven but who needs a system that works quietly in the background, this is a blueprint worth absorbing.

Historia
When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a "soldier" mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalizing in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe - and shoot down those we don't.

Brave
Revisado: 05-01-25
This is a book about better thinking and braver living. The Scout Mindset challenges the way we cling to beliefs to feel safe or right, and instead offers a mental posture rooted in curiosity, clarity, and intellectual humility. Julia Galef isn’t trying to make you more “rational” in some cold, robotic sense. She’s showing that the real power lies in seeing things as they are, not as we wish them to be.
She frames self-deception not as a personal failure, but as a deeply human habit—and then gently teaches how to let go of it. The tools are practical, but the shift is internal: less defending, more discovering.
If you’re someone who values truth over comfort, but also wants to stay emotionally intelligent in the process, this book offers a rare combination: rigor without rigidity, and insight without ego.

Helpful
Revisado: 05-01-25
This book is a lifeline disguised as a cleaning manual. How to Keep House While Drowning provides blunt compassion. Davis reframes mess as communication, a signal of need, burnout, life. She offers systems designed for real people with too much on their plate.
If you’ve ever looked around your space and felt like it was a reflection of your worst inner critic, this book will interrupt that voice and replace it with one that’s still firm, but far kinder.

Freeing
Revisado: 05-01-25
This book doesn’t try to fix your sex life. It tries to understand it. In Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel challenges the myth that intimacy and eroticism naturally thrive in long-term relationships. They don’t. They require tension, space, imagination, and we’ve been trained to fear all three.
What I appreciated most is that Perel refuses to pathologize desire. She’s not interested in making you feel broken; she’s interested in revealing how our expectations of modern love often conflict with our deeper human wiring. Domesticity, safety, emotional transparency, these may foster closeness, but they rarely sustain lust.
This book is part philosophy, part clinical insight, and part poetic provocation. If you’re interested in the psychology of desire, and willing to question the stories you’ve absorbed about love, loyalty, and what it means to want, Perel offers a framework that is both deeply unsettling and strangely freeing.

Tough Love
Revisado: 05-01-25
This book is part life coach, part stand-up comic, and part swift kick in the mental pants. Jen Sincero isn’t here to coddle, she’s here to wake you up. You Are a Badass is loud, irreverent, occasionally eye-roll-inducing, and yet strangely effective.
What worked for me wasn’t the woo-woo or the manifesting, but her blunt call to stop hiding behind doubt and pretending you’re fine with less than what you want. Sincero is equal parts tough love and late-night pep talk, the kind that’s a little too honest to ignore. There’s nothing subtle here, and there’s a lot of truth.
If you’re stuck in inertia, or just tired of playing small while secretly wanting more, this book won’t fix your life. But it might make you bold enough to finally start.

Historia
Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise - from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem: Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome - the vast population of organisms that live in your body and outnumber your own cells 10 to one.

Fascinating
Revisado: 05-01-25
This book reframes brain health in a way that’s both fascinating and slightly unsettling: what if your mood, memory, and even risk for neurological disease are deeply influenced by the trillions of microbes living in your gut? In Brain Maker, Perlmutter lays out a compelling (if sometimes controversial) case for the gut-brain connection—with a blend of neuroscience, case studies, and dietary recommendations that challenge the way we think about mental wellness.
What I found most striking wasn’t just the science—it was the shift in paradigm. We’re so conditioned to think of the brain as isolated and untouchable, but this book argues otherwise: what you eat, how you digest, the quality of your microbiome—all of it matters, and maybe more than we’ve been taught to believe.
Is it alarmist at times? Maybe. But it’s also empowering. If you’ve been looking for a more integrated view of health—one that doesn’t separate psychology from physiology—Brain Maker offers a provocative and practical place to start.

Historia
When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.

Validating
Revisado: 05-01-25
This book is a mirror held up to a generation of women quietly unraveling while still holding everything together. In Why We Can’t Sleep, Ada Calhoun gives voice to the silent, sleepless hours of Gen X women who did everything “right” and still wound up exhausted, anxious, and wondering what happened to the life they were promised.
Calhoun doesn’t try to fix you. She validates you. She traces the systemic pressures - broken institutions, unrealistic expectations - that have shaped this particular strain of midlife angst. And she does it with humor, clarity, and edge.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning in the middle of the night, mentally itemizing everything you’ve done and everything you still feel behind on, this book won’t give you a cure. But it will make you feel profoundly less alone.

Reframing
Revisado: 05-01-25
This book starts out sounding like a corporate leadership book but quickly turns into something deeper. It’s a quiet unraveling of how we justify our behavior, betray our own instincts, and trap ourselves in patterns of blame and self-protection. It’s less about managing others and more about confronting how we distort reality to preserve our own ego.
The central idea is that we get “in the box” by acting against what we know is right and then needing to justify it. This feels simple, but it cuts straight to the heart of most dysfunction, both professional and personal. The brilliance of this book is how it reframes responsibility, not as guilt, but as clarity. Once you see the box, you can’t unsee it. And that’s the beginning of freedom. This is a leadership book that avoids buzzwords and instead demands personal reckoning.
