My 2026 Book List Is Here (and It’s All About Alignment)
My 2026 book list is finally here — and I couldn’t be more excited about the direction the literary world is taking. After curating my 2025 reading list around growth, grit, and goal-setting, this new 2026 book list feels like the next chapter (literally!)— one that’s rooted in authenticity, emotional awareness, and deep goal alignment.
The biggest trend shaping the 2026 reading list is a shift from doing to being — from chasing success to cultivating purpose, clarity, and flow in how we grow, lead, and live. These upcoming releases are perfect for anyone who’s ready to stop hustling and start leading from alignment.
