Books for living intentionally

Books about attention, follow-through and wanting less. You come out of them with fewer things pulling at you.

This is for you if you keep the day running for everyone else and never reach your own list. Or if you start more than you finish. You have tried the apps and the 5am alarm. Every book here ends with something you can change this week.

Thank you all <3

  • I’d started four books this year and finished none of them. I read this one in two sittings, then finally finished the thing I’d been avoiding since January.

  • I stopped checking my phone before I got out of bed. That one change has done more for my mood than anything else I’ve tried.

  • I read the chapter on saying no twice. My evenings are mine again, and my family noticed before I did.

  • Bought one. Read it in a weekend. Bought the rest that Monday. Three years later I still reread the chapter on finishing every January.

  • I’ve read every book like this. It’s the first one that didn’t make me feel behind. It made me feel like I could start.

  • It didn’t hand me a system. It took three things off my plate and explained why they were there. I’ve been calmer ever since.

I’m Sofia

I have written about attention and follow-through for ten years. Everything in my books worked for me first, then for the readers who write back.
