Favorite memoir that inspired change...

[Anonymous]

What memoir have you read that inspired you to change or pivot -- either big or small?

Thinking of something like Shonda Rhimes "A Year of Yes."

The Happiness Project--sort of shocked my soul awake.

Changed my entire life

What the Eyes Don't See by Mona Hanna Attisha about the Flint water poisoning.

Tracy Kidder's book about Paul Farmer-Mountains Beyond Mountains

I also like Sonia Sotomayor's autobio-My Beloved World.

Not a memoir but atomic habits.

The ones that inspired lasting changes have been the practical ones: Outlive by Peter Attia and Longevity by David Sinclair. Those have kept me focused on strength training, diet and sleep for maintaining good health.

I also read the Happiness Project and Die with Zero and those keep me focused on planning my life rather than letting life happen on autopilot.

Rhian Malan's My Traitor's Heart.

It was an entire education in B/W South African relations. And I became tuned into what was happening there, thereafter.

When Breathe becomes air.

I swear, this dude accomplished so much. Was so smart. A doctor AND a writer.
