2. Let's Go by Jamie Ramsden – Focused on adventure and personal growth, this book is about breaking boundaries and living life to the fullest. I’m eager to see how Ramsden links adventure to self-discovery.

3. Tune In by Nuala Walsh – This book is about mastering focus in a noisy world. Walsh breaks down the science of attention and helps readers apply these concepts to everyday life.

4. Playing With Reality by Kelly Clancy – A unique look into the intersection of science and creativity. Clancy examines how our imagination and creative endeavors shape the way we understand the world.

5. Make It Stick by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, and Mark A. McDaniel – This one is all about learning strategies based on cognitive science. I’m excited to apply their insights into memory retention and learning strategies for lifelong learning.

6. Cycles by Edward R. Dewey – A fascinating book that explores the recurring cycles in history and nature. Dewey’s insights can help us understand larger patterns and anticipate future trends in various fields.

7. The Adult Learner by Malcolm S. Knowles, Elwood F. Holton III, and Richard A. Swanson – Knowles’ theories on adult education have had a huge impact on how we approach learning for adults. This book offers practical tips for enhancing learning experiences.
