Books To Read In Your 30s

When a 6 am jog sounds almost as good as a 6 am after-bar gyro you know you're almost there. 30 years old. The age when stability, responsibility, and lifelong commitment suddenly seem a little bit less scary. When jobs and mortgages and baby yoga all become legitimate day-to-day concerns. And while 30 may be a dreaded number for some, it's actually kind of great. 30 is an incredible time to find yourself, see the world, and grow. These are the books to do it with.

Children of Nazis ebook by Tania Crasnianski - Rakuten Kobo

Dare to Lead audiobook by Brené Brown - Rakuten Kobo
Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.”
