As 2025 came to a close, I took time to reflect on what I read and what I intentionally went back to. Not because the books were new or popular, but because they helped me stay disciplined, grounded, and clear-headed.
This list isn’t about productivity hacks or chasing trends. These are books that reinforced strength through hardship, meaning through struggle, faith through practice, and responsibility through action. Some challenged me physically. Some reshaped how I think about suffering, connection, and purpose. All of them earned their place because they helped me show up better.
In this video, I walk through seven books I recommend to start 2026 strong, personally and professionally.
The 7 Books
• The Stability Equation
• Discipline Equals Freedom Field Manual
• The Wim Hof Method
• What Doesn’t Kill Us
• Man’s Search for Meaning
• Lost Connections
• The Amplified Bible
If you’re heading into 2026 wanting more clarity, resilience, and intention, this list is a solid place to start.
