About this listen

What’s a book that didn’t just entertain you—but changed you?

In this episode of Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillian and psychotherapist Lauren Leon McMillian explore books everyone should read at least once in their lifetime—and why some are worth returning to again and again. From Man’s Search for Meaning and The Road Less Traveled to The Alchemist, The Four Agreements, Atomic Habits, and Meditations, they discuss how great books shape our thinking, expand consciousness, and help us navigate life with greater clarity and purpose.

Blending psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and fiction, this conversation highlights how reading can shift worldviews, deepen self-understanding, and offer guidance during life’s crossroads. Whether you’re an avid reader or someone who’s struggled to connect with books, this episode invites you to rediscover the transformative power of the written word.
