Monday Mo: Five Books For Growth and Self Improvement

This week’s Monday Mo was written by Meg Matsuura, Content Marketing Manager at Spot On Solutions.

Taking time to improve ourselves works wonders. No one knows us better than ourselves and we can all benefit from taking a deep introspective dive into goals and motivations. One of the best ways is to read books that guide you through the process of self-discovery and change. 

Here are 5 books we recommend to get started!

Measure What Matters

This book by John Doerr teaches you how to implement tracking systems into your company and life that will help you record your progress, stay accountable, and make reaching your goals almost inevitable.

Dare to Lead 

To succeed in a complex and fluid world, organizations need brave leaders and courageous cultures. In this book, Brené Brown presents the 4 courage-building skill sets that can be nurtured in any individual and organization.

Atomic Habits

This book is a favorite in our office! In this best-selling book, James Clear argues that big goals shouldn’t be your main focus in life. Instead, you should be utilizing frequent, repetitive actions and systems to help develop habits that stick.

The Miracle Morning

Many people dream of an extraordinary life, but too often end up settling for a mediocre one. No matter where you are in life—whether you’re struggling to overcome a major setback or ready to move to new heights—The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod provides you with a simple, proven method to improve your life and achieve all your dreams and goals. 

The Slight Edge

The main (and only) concept in this book is the compound effect of your habits and choices, something the author, Jeff Olson, calls the Slight Edge. Everything you do, every decision you make, every action and inaction has a slight positive or negative impact on the final outcome. According to the author, there’s no neutral here, meaning you have to pick one or the other.

The time for self-improvement and growth is NOW! If you end up reading one (or all) of these books, let us know how it’s changed your life!
