Many of us are always on the path toward self improvement. Here are three guidebooks, on three important topics, with three helpful messages. Read up, be informed, go out and conquer. You're welcome.

1. "Becoming Wise" by Krista Tippett, paperback

In this remarkable book Krista Tippett has created a master class in living for a fractured world. Fracture, she says, is not the whole story of our time. The enduring question of what it means to be human has become inextricable from the challenge of who we are to each other.  She insists on the possibility of personal depth and common life for this century, nurtured by science and “spiritual technologies,” with civility love as muscular public practice. And, accompanied by a cross-disciplinary dream team of a teaching faculty, she shows us how.

2. "You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth" by Jen Sincero, autographed & hardcover

You Are a Badass at Making Money will launch you past the fears and stumbling blocks that have kept financial success beyond your reach. Drawing on her own transformation—over just a few years—from a woman living in a converted garage with tumbleweeds blowing through her bank account to a woman who travels the world in style, Jen Sincero channels the inimitable sass and practicality that made You Are a Badass an indomitable bestseller. She combines hilarious personal essays with bite-size, aha concepts that unlock earning potential and get real results. 

3. "Wonder Women: Sex, Power and the Quest for Perfection" By Debora Spar, autographed & hardcover

In her national bestseller - hailed by such luminaries as Sheryl Sandberg, Tina Brown, and Erica Jong - Barnard President and former Harvard Business School Professor Debora L. Spar looks at why, fifty years after the Equal Pay Act, women are still living in a man’s world. Armed with reams of new research, she examines how women’s lives have—and have not—changed over the past forty years. In this wise, often funny, always human, and smartly conceived book, Spar asks: How far have women really come? And what will it take to get true equality for good? Wonder Women gives us an important voice in an increasingly heated debate. Don’t miss hearing from Dr. Spar on this critical issue for women… and for all us navigating today’s world.
