Peace Is Every Step – Thich Nhat Hanh

This book serves as a gentle guide to mindful living, reminding readers that each precious moment in life is a gift. My favorite part of the book’s message is: to breathe in, we become aware of our physical body; to breathe out, we can smile, knowing we are alive.

Outliers – Malcolm Gladwell

Outliers is a magnificent book that intersects social science research, cultural phenomenon, and innate talent. Gladwell’s thorough research is explored through stories that challenge common assumptions about achievement and show how success is shaped. My favorite part of the book is the outro, where Gladwell writes about his own family lineages as a testimony to being outliers. Exploring how fortunate people are often the product of environmental, social, and time-critical circumstances offers a fascinating understanding of how some slip through the cracks of mediocrity to achieve extraordinary things.
