Transitions: Making Sense Of Life's Changes
William Bridges
My favorite book regarding how to make sense of life's changes and navigating confusing times. Actual research was involved.

Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
This book speaks to the mystery and magic of creating. Where do ideas come from? What do we do with them when they arrive? Whimsical yet grounded. A life-giving and empathetic read for creators.
Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life
A transparent and, of course, funny look at the nature of "making it." Full of wisdom, empathy, compassion, and candor. Audiobook for this one.
Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation
A critique of the unspoken work culture that Millennials were brought into and continue to foster: being always on, a deep sense of precarity, and inevitable burnout. More observational than research-driven, full of insights and moments of, "Oh wow, I'm glad someone finally put that into words."
Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone
All of her work is exceptional. This book, in particular, speaks to the idea of belonging and standing alone, the latter of which is inherent to entrepreneurship, and the former of which is conspicuously absent.
The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music
The lead singer of the Foo Fighters writes with candor, warmth, vulnerability, and joy. This book doesn't shy away from mental health, rather it leans right in. A "You're not alone" book for creators of all kinds. Audiobook for this one.
Meditation can be profound if you dig in. My favorite meditation app is Headspace because it takes you beyond pop-psychology and teaches you why mindfulness helps and how to do it.
This is an incredible, free resource full of research-based mental health protocols using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It's not for everyone, but it can be a wonderful supplement.
