23 Bestselling Books That Will Inspire You To Change The World (Fall 2018)

Shift The Work  was recently named a 2x bestseller by The Wall Street Journal and USA Today. As an author committed to the belief that by shifting the work world, we can transform the real world, this recognition added fuel to my fire.

Because here’s the thing… 70% of the workforce is disengaged. With every tick of the clock, millions of people inch closer to their breaking points―a growing epidemic of apathy and anxiety in the workplace that is affecting life outside of the office. But meaningful work-life integration is possible.

Filled with actionable strategies and inspiring true stories, Shift The Work reveals the revolutionary science behind employee engagement and how readers can use the brains in their head, heart, and gut to transform their workplaces and lives, for the better. This indispensable guide motivates readers to seek fulfilling opportunities, reconnect with their passions, and recognize their power to make a difference.

As I skimmed through fellow bestselling books on these lists, a clear theme emerged: I was far from alone on my mission. The number of other inspiring authors, subjects, and world-changing ideas that floated among the ranks left me digging through bestseller-after-bestseller (and fondly remembering quite a few of these must-reads).

If you’re looking for a new outlook on life, to reignite the fire within yourself, to become a magnetic force for good in the world — here are the 23 bestsellers to devour on your journey to better.
