This piece and this list came at just the right time! It really resonated with me, and the book list is great! I've been on the hunt for things to read and to get some use out of my library. Thanks for all of this.

👋 Sean! So glad it resonated with you, which means we have shared experience I think? If you have a moment, would love to know which books you gravitate towards more and if you start one.

Amazing that you paid off that $165k and are flourishing. You are an inspiration!

Thank you, Sonya! I haven't fully processed it, actually (after being in so much debt for so long). We can figure out how to get that money tap flowing ;)

Such a moving read! As a daughter (and the eldest) of immigrants, this resonated a lot 🥹

Designing Your Life had a huge impact for me in approaching entrepreneurship/business building in an experimental lens, also love love love Big Magic as well esp. when I find myself stuck with traditional views of marketing & creating.

And You're a Badass at Making Money is one I love gifting clients new to business - it was also *the* intro book that first shed a light on my relationship with money! Needless to say, there was also a lot to uncover haha

Hi Yunzhe! So great to hear from you. I'm so glad the story resonated, makes me feel less alone too :)

Ahh you listed such classics!! I read Big Magic when I was pretty depressed, and it singlehandedly lifted me up towards the light. It def has a way of breaking my boxes too.

YBMM is one I have yet to delve into, although it is so beloved. Thank you for mentioning it, such a good rec
