The Book List that Could Change Your Life

Fina Perez Episode 146

Living Your Best Life—One Chapter at a Time 

Books have shaped my life in ways I could have never imagined, and this week, I want to share the profound impact of reading on our journey to living our best lives. Whether it's the wisdom of the Maesters, the emotional depth of a novel, or the courage found in stories of resilience, books give us a connection to something greater than ourselves. Inspired by the incredible words of Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman and the universal language of world and the universal language of storytelling, this episode is all about the power of literature—its ability to challenge us, move us, and ultimately transform our world.

 

From the Alchemist to the timeless classics and even banned books, we’ll explore what makes a book worth reading and how literature can inspire change. I’ll also share my personal reading goal for the year—20 books, including selections from Maesters, unfinished works, and those that have been challenged or banned. Because when we expand our minds, we expand our possibilities. What books have left a mark on your life? Have they pushed you, scared you, or given you a new way of seeing the world? Let’s dive deep into the stories that shape us.

 

So, my lovely listeners, wherever you are—in Abu Dhabi, Germany, Mexico, France, the United States, or any of the incredible places you’re tuning in from—thank you for being here. I am thinking of you, and I hope this episode inspires you to reflect on the books that have influenced your journey. Let's embrace the written word and let it guide us to our best selves.

 

Quote of the Week

 

"When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young." -Maya Angelou
