5 Life-Changing Books π
|
Do you also freakin' love reading? Because for me, I've found that reading on the road, especially when reading about a country I'm travelling through, really enriches my travel experience. Books can ignite our imagination, fuel our wanderlust, and remind us of the infinite possibilities that await. Each book I read helps me grow, introspect and ponder, but certain books truly changed my life - so today, I want to share with you a few of the best books I've ever read; books that have truly given me something of great value. 5 of My Favourite

I highly recommend it to anybody who struggles with nagging self-doubt or feelings of not being worthy. We all struggle with our inner demons, awareness is the key to defeating them.
2. Atomic Habits by James Clear
A must-read for ANYBODY who is looking to be more efficient.
There are some solid strategies and info in here on how to build habits that stick, although honestly, the book is quite long and somewhat repetitive. You might be better off reading a summary instead ;)
3. Greenlights by Mathew McConaughey
One of my favourite books, filled with incredible wisdom on the importance of saying no, finding your why, taking risks and learning from them.
McConaughey is a fucking boss and one of my personal heroes so I expected big things when I started β I was blown away by this book, highly recommend.
4. Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss
Perhaps the greatest collection of snippets of info and words of wisdom from the world's most successful people ever comprised. This book is a goldmine...
All you have to do is spot the correlations and you can quickly figure out what works. This is a much more effective way of hunting down wisdom than listening to endless podcast interviews.
5. The Bullet Journal Method by Ryder Carroll
Journalling has brought me personally so much peace, growth, introspection and clarity. To get the most out of your journalling practice, this book is a good place to start when it comes to designing your own journaling system.
Sharing YOUR Favourite Reads
I'm big into sci-fi, history books, travel tales, and the occasional weirdly dystopian novel.
But as you can see, I really try to spend time reading books which can teach me something π
What about you β what tickles your fancy when it comes to reading?
Most of my favourite books have come from personal recommendations, so I'd love to add yours to my list.

Summer is a weird and wonderful time. It's a time when the days are long and filled with light, the sun is shining (unless you live in the UK, of course) and people feel most alive. As this beautiful period comes to an end, I thought it'd be a good opportunity to look back into some of the best moments and experiences our team has had. The Broke Backpacker team is spread wide and far, adventuring all around the globe. So we thought weβd show you some of the teamβs favourite places that...
If there is one thing that travellers know about Australia, besides koalas, kangaroos and giant spiders, is that it's bloody expensive. A dorm bed, a coffee, a couple of beers... these are all things that cost a small fortune and make you question your entire trip. And that's why a lot of people choose to go on a working holiday visa, something you might've heard about before. Pairing work with fun is one way to do things down under. That's exactly what happened to Tom. After six months...
Have you ever been snorkelling and thought, this is pretty cool, eh? Well... scuba diving might ruin that for you. That's what happened to Taya on her first dive. All it took was one go, and she realised she'd basically unlocked a whole new side quest. READ: Scuba Diving in Southeast Asia![The Ultimate Guide] No regrets π Since then, she's gone on to log 50+ dives across Southeast Asia, and learned that diving around there isn't quite as simple as finding the cheapest course and jumping in....
