Books to Empower You in Life
Whether you’re entering a new career, growing a professional desire, or feeling a bit lost in what your future will bring, this complete list of book recommendations from your MT team has your back. Many wise minds have taken the time to put their own experiences and learnings from the mental health foundations of career fulfilment onto pages that we can’t get enough of.
We offer a gentle invitation into curiosity with books that are lighter, and some that go a bit deeper. Instead of seeking your answers with pressure and agenda, see if you can bring in some curiosity and notice what thoughts emerge for you.
We hope you feel empowered to make choices that fill you up and align to your purpose with your next read.
