Selfless by Brian Lowery challenges the idea that we possess a fixed and independent identity. Drawing from psychology, sociology, and personal experience, Lowery argues that who we are is shaped by our relationships, communities, and social environments rather than existing in isolation. The book explores how our sense of self changes over time and is deeply connected to the people around us. By understanding this interconnected nature of identity, readers can become more empathetic, adaptable, and open-minded. The core message is that the self is not something we own but something we continuously create through connection and experience.

THINK SMALL
Think Small: The Surprisingly Simple Ways to Reach Big Goals by Owain Service and Rory Gallagher explains how small behavioral changes can lead to extraordinary results. Drawing from behavioral science and the work of the UK's famous "Nudge Unit," the authors show that achieving big goals is less about motivation and more about designing systems that make good actions easier to repeat. The book introduces practical strategies such as setting clear goals, creating accountability, and using small incentives to build momentum. The core message is simple yet powerful: lasting success comes from consistent small actions rather than dramatic one-time efforts.
