908. Why Reading Self-Help Books Actually Works (And My Winter Reading List)

Dec 22, 2025

Winter is the quiet season where real growth happens. In this episode, I break down why self-help books actually work when you read them with intention, not just for motivation. We’ll talk about how to turn winter downtime into personal and business growth, why most people get nothing from the books they read, and how to apply what you learn so it actually sticks. I’ll also share my personal winter reading list and explain why each book has earned a spot as I prepare for the season ahead.
