I have a section in my Goodreads app I call the “power shelf” these are the books that have motivated me the most:

The Alchemist
Atomic Habits
Power of Habit
The Mountain is You: Turning Self Sabotage into Self Mastery
The Obstacle is the Way

Leaders Eat Last - Simon Sinek Note: reading books did not help me in my career, setting goals and achieving them did. This was more of a growth mindset tool.

Feeling that I never land an offer from Google. I have tried many times and in my last try, I passed phone screening but recruiter ghosted me...
