In a world that rewards busyness over progress, these 10 books taught me how to slow down, focus better, and create more with less.
From the micro-improvements of Atomic Habits to the deep focus of Deep Work, from the clarity of Essentialism and The One Thing to the structure of Getting Things Done and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, these ideas reshaped how I think, work, and live.
This episode is about rediscovering what really drives productivity, purpose, and peace and serenity.
