Anyone who has known me for more than a few minutes will know that the Passion Planner is my favorite planner. Seriously, I tote that planner everywhere. So, when Angelia Trinidad, the CEO and founder of Passion Planner, told us about the book that helped her start Passion Planner – The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss – well, I was all over it. I mean, that girl and her brand are amazing and Angelia’s success and values make her a super role model.

Solving the Procrastination Puzzle by Timothy Pychyl is a must read for anyone who wants to get unstuck, stop delaying, and start living their most inspired life. Why do we sabotage our own best intentions?

“Each page has been carefully thought out to hold readers attention as he tells us how to get about doing what we need to do in order to make our lives more productive and fulfilling. Laced with cartoons to keep readers laughing as they learn, the guidance is wise, down-to-earth, and easy to embrace.” – Retailing Insight
The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson teaches us to make the daily choices that will lead us to the success and happiness we desire. For example, listening to an educational podcast whilst commuting or reading for 20 minutes a day. These are things that are easy to do, but they are also easy not to do. However, there will come a time when those people who instigated those simple habits will be so far ahead of those who did not that there will be no catching up.
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg explains how our habits have the potential to transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives. We learn why habits exist, how habits work and how they can be changed. We discover how the right habits are crucial to success and how we can harness this new science to truly thrive in every area of our lives.
