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

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.

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.

Not a memoir but atomic habits.

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.

I’m Glad my Mom Died

Changed my entire life

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

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