3/ Manâs Search for Meaning By Victor Frankl
This book made me realise that love & life are so much more important than business, marketing, social media stuff. Made me realise Iâm on the âsuccessâ treadmill: More followers. More subscribers. It means nothing.

4/ The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck By Mark Manson
It helped me put some things in perspective regarding my relationship with myself, in business, in ambition and with others. And 2020 was the perfect playing field for realizations & using them to my advantage!

5/ A Christmas Carol By Charles Dickens
It was the perfect reminder at end of year to look back & be grateful for the many positives that did happen in my life vs. focusing completely on negatives. Great way to go into 2021 with optimism and an attitude of gratitude.

6/ The Most Fun We Ever Had By Claire Lombardo
It details 4 decades of a family, their sometimes complicated relationships and love for each other. As daughter of parents who have been married for 40 years, it really resonated with me!

9/ Survival Skills for Freelancers By Sarah Townsend
Such an easy, down-to-earth read, and totally unlike the usual self-help books for freelancers. Plus there are loads of little quotes with tips and advice from other freelancers.

10/ Untamed By Glennon Doyle
Untamed was gifted to me by a dear friend. And thatâs precisely what it is â a gift. Itâs a reminder that the only way to fully be alive is to unabashedly follow your heart & to break the rules for how âgoodâ girls should behave.

11/ So Good They Canât Ignore You By Cal Newport
Most of us were told to âfollow our passionâ when choosing a job that weâd love to do. This book debunks that. Ultimately, it shares that true career success is rooted in investing time and energy to build skills.

13/ Great by Choice By Jim Collins
Itâs a great book on how companies and leaders can navigate uncertain times, and 2020 was exceptionally uncertain and chaotic, to say the least.

14/ How to Write Better Copy By Steve Harrison
So far, this is my favourite book on writing. I worked through it with our SDR and marketing teams. I improved, and so did the team. Plenty of tips. And itâs written well, funny enough.
