More Than Enough
by Miranda Anderson
This bubbly and audacious mom-of-three, creative entrepreneur, blogger, and podcast host tells the story of her family’s experience in minimalism and intentional living. Her podcast is also adorable and inspiring.
Digital Minimalism

Again Cal backs up the hunch we all have that social media, screen time, and digital connection is detrimental to our mental, emotional, and social health. He offers a masterfully written detox plan with plenty of explanation and practical tips.
Simplicity Parenting
by Kim John Payne
For parents whose intuition says, this is all too much. Too many activities, too many classes, too many screens, too much pressure. A helpful and compassionate guide to giving kids and parents some breathing room in a busy culture.
Essentialism
by Greg McKeown
This book is pure genius. Greg teaches the power of simplifying to see results, invest our energy wisely, and live our lives well. He proves you can’t do it all and do it well— nor should you try. Instead, he instructs us to do the right things, the right way, at the right time.
Better Than Before
by Gretchen Rubin
Gretchen is a lawyer-turned-writer who loves to research what makes us tick. This book examines patterns in habits, without judgment, and offers take-what-you-will suggestions for improving productivity based on your personality.
Untamed
by Glennon Doyle
Feeling caged? That’s because you’re a goddamn cheetah. G teaches us how to find ourselves and live more fully, as only she can.
Worth It

This book changed my life. Amanda challenges women to think differently about money, take charge over their story, and reevaluate their financial goals to better match their values. Invest in what you care about and be free.
The Artist’s Way
by Julia Cameron
A classic text for a deeper dive into creativity, journaling, and the power of self-expression. Julia walks us through a week-by-week program to relearn our innate artistic self, accept her, and empower her. A lifelong journey that begins today.
We Should All Be Millionaires

7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
The ultimate classic book about living intentionally and productively. There is a reason that empires have been built around the Covey model. A must-read when you are ready to think critically about your habits at work and in life.
Year of Yes
by Shonda Rhimes
A fun and funny read about a grand experiment in letting go, saying yes, and embracing life. Say yes to living a life for you!
The Slight Edge
by Jeff Olson
Taking small steps that no one else is willing to do— sets you apart. Olson delivers a slightly salesy but impactful case for going the extra mile in our daily disciplines to achieve compounding success.
The Power of a Positive No
by William Ury
William Ury is a worldwide leading expert on negotiation (remember “getting to yes” taking us all by storm?). In this book he wisely revisits the importance of saying no with practical, tactical advice on how to say yes to what we care about and— necessarily— a tactful no to the things we don’t.
Burnout
by Emily & Amelia Nagoski
More truth-telling for women who are exhuasted, depleted, and burned out. It’s not your fault. But you can learn strategies to help you shake off stress, recover, and get your energy back… so you can get busy smashing the patriarchy.
The Gifts of Imperfection
by Brene Brown
“Let go of you’re supposed to be and embrace who you are.” Brene’s classic book guides recovering perfectionists to the power and possibility of vulnerability. You are worthy. You’ll reference these principles again and again.
Girl, Stop Apologizing
by Rachel Hollis
Nobody gets me more fired up than Rachel Hollis. If you feel like you are “made for more,” as she says, this book will take away all your excuses and get you moving forward. Listen to the audio to hear her cheer you on!
Joy at Work
by Marie Kondo
She started a movement about decluttering, and this is her manual to making it happen professionally— digitally, mentally, and in your physical workspace.
Writing Down Your Soul
by Janet Conner

In the FLO

Passion Planner
The daily Passion Planner includes prompts and space for goals, gratitude, and time-blocking for those of us who like to dive into the details each day. I also love the Full Focus planner, which is similar in design.
XL Moleskine
The extra-large size blank journal with soft cover is durable, allows plenty of space to write without hand cramps, and still fits easily into your bag. Depending on how much you write, this journal will last about 3 months. Choose a color and layout (blank, bullets, grid, or ruled) that inspires you each season.
