WAHOOS in Life By Anthony Espo

WAHOOS stands for “We all have our own shit”. It’s true. We all have things on our minds that we worry about, things that cause us stress and anxiety. How we deal with those things are what set us apart. Although the writing could use a little refinement, Anthony Espo suggests some techniques that can help us all beat back the things that bother us in life. I think sometimes he oversimplifies how easy it might be to overcome these tough circumstances, he stresses the fact that you have a choice. The 100 pages fly by, so this will be an easy read for the month.

The Dichotomy of Leadership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

If you enjoyed Extreme Ownership (a DadHab favorite), then you will love The Dichotomy of Leadership. You don’t need to have read one to enjoy the other, but they are both valuable lessons from Navy Seals. The book format is terrific, taking you from the battlefield and training, to practical applications, to real-life examples of how the lessons have helped in business.

Talking To Strangers By Malcolm Gladwell

I don’t always agree with Gladwell’s point of view, but his content always makes me think critically. If you’re like me and Frank and consume our monthly book club through audiobooks, then we should all be in for a treat with Talking To Strangers because Gladwell created this book with audio consumption in mind. If you’re not a podcast listener this one might open your eyes to what you’ve been missing.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Described as the last of the five great emperors, Meditations are an insight in the mind of Marcus Aurelius. The fact that we are able to see the thoughts and experiences that helped guide this stoic philosopher and leader is amazing. Through the stoic lessons you’ll learn how to cut through the B.S, get over yourself and get things done. I warn you that the book is jam packed with gems that may require a second pass to be full absorbed. Read this one with a notebook near by as you’ll want to right down many of the pearls of wisdom he shares.

Think And Grow Rich By Napoleon Hill

We talk a lot about mindset here at The Dad Habit and if you read the title and thought about money you’re not alone. But “Think and Grow Rich” is about so much more than a secret to attain money. It has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself.
