Don't Believe Everything You Think
Joseph Nguyen · 2022

Becoming wise
Krista Tippett · 2016
Both explore spirituality
When Things Fall Apart
Pema Chödrön · 1997
A gentle, direct Buddhist teaching on sitting with pain rather than fleeing it — steady, plainspoken chapters that read as compassionate instruction more than argument.
The big leap

An accessible self-help program built around a single reframe — the 'Upper Limit Problem' — illustrated with case studies from high achievers and delivered in warm, coach-like prose.
