- “The Third Door” by Alex Banayan
Imagine a world where success is just a door away, but it’s not the one everyone’s knocking on. Alex Banayan’s “The Third Door” invites you to take an exhilarating ride alongside the author as he interviews some of the world’s most remarkable individuals to uncover their unique paths to achievement. Another cool thing about Alex, is that he is a monster himself. At the age of 18, he wrote this bestselling book that made the world stop and listen. This book changed my perspective when it come to young authors and inspired me to pursue a similar path myself. “The Thrird Door” is a masterclass in persistence, resilience, and unbridled creativity. Banayan’s storytelling is infused with infectious energy, and his insights will nudge you to think outside the box and pursue your dreams with relentless determination.
- “The Little Voice Inside Your Head” by Mo Gawdat
My most recent read made it to the top 5! We all have that little voice inside our heads—the one that chatters incessantly, influencing our choices and shaping our lives. I like to call that voice “Monsy”, the little monster, you can call it however you like, but I am sure you have a “love-hate relationship”. Mo Gawdat’s book shows us how that little voice can either be our ally or our adversary, comparing the human brain with an operating system that needs some good programming. His approach is refreshingly practical, offering tools to quieten the noise and channel our thoughts towards positivity and growth. As summer whispers tranquility, let “The Little Voice Inside Your Head” guide you towards a more mindful and purposeful existence.
- “A New Kind of Diversity” by Tim Elmore
A topic that is so close to my heart and a whole book speaking about the benefits of age diversity… aren’t you already thrilled, dear Monsters? In a world that’s becoming increasingly interconnected, embracing diversity isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity. Tim Elmore’s “A New Kind of Diversity” casts a thoughtful spotlight on the importance of understanding and appreciating differences in a multitude of contexts—whether it’s culture, generations, or perspectives. This summer, let Elmore’s wisdom open your eyes to the power of empathy, collaboration, and unity, as you learn to navigate an ever-diversifying world with grace and insight.
- “Coming Alive” by Dr. Phil Stutz and Barry Michels
There are many books that tell you why you need to grow and develop, but not many books show you how. As the world blooms with life around you, it’s the perfect time to embark on your personal journey of transformation. Dr. Phil Stutz’s “Coming Alive” serves as your guide, leading you through a series of transformative tools that can break down barriers and propel you towards your fullest potential. Stutz’s approach is practical, engaging, and deeply insightful, inviting you to shed self-doubt and step into your authentic self with confidence. This summer, let “Coming Alive” be your catalyst for positive change.
- “Spark Joy” by Marie Kondo
Ah, the magic of tidying up! Summer cleaning takes on a whole new meaning with Marie Kondo’s “Spark Joy.” While it might seem unconventional to include a book on decluttering in a summer reading list, Kondo’s philosophy goes beyond organizing your space—it extends to decluttering your mind and embracing what truly brings you joy. So, as you revel in the sun’s warmth, why not also revel in the clarity that comes from letting go of what no longer serves you?
And Lastly, “Dear Monsters: Redefining New Age Leadership for Millennials and GenZ”
Now, my dear monsters, I present to you a heartfelt recommendation: my very own book, “Dear Monsters: Redefining New Age Leadership for Millennials and GenZ.” In these pages, you’ll find insights tailored to the unique challenges and aspirations of our generation. It’s a manifesto for trailblazers, dreamers, and those unafraid to lead with purpose. As you embark on your summer reading journey, don’t forget to dive into the wisdom I’ve poured into these pages, tailored just for you.
So there you have it, a monstrously good summer reading list that spans the realms of achievement, mindfulness, diversity, transformation, and joy. Embrace these books with open minds and open hearts, and let them infuse your summer with inspiration, growth, and newfound understanding.
Happy reading, my beloved monsters!
