hi there!
A few years ago, I committed to reading at least one hour a day—and it would be a total understatement to say that it has completely changed my life for the better.
When more and more friends and coworkers started to reach out to me about book recommendations, I decided it’s time to create Fabi’s Faves: I hand-picked the best books I’ve ever read in a curated list that’s just for you.
To not only save you time and money, but also to kick start your personal growth—because you deserve to be the best version of yourself.
Grab your coffee, poke around, and drop some cash—either for yourself or to gift some books to friends and coworkers.

If you're planning not to live on your kid’s couch by the time you retire—or you are planning to retire early, this book is for you. I wished I had read this book in high school!
To my international friends: this book is very tailored to the US market (e.g. 401(k)s, IRAs, etc.), but the overall learning can be applied to any country.
- How a 1% hidden fee in your mutual fund can cost you as much a year worth of your salary
- The ugly truth about you never going to beat the market—ever, and how picking individual company stocks is the worst thing you can do
- How you can become a millionaire by the time you retire (fun fact, it’s less about the amount of money you put in your piggy bank but more so about timing)
- Insightful tips from the world's investment prodigies, ranging from Warren Buffet to Ray Dalio.
If you feel like you’re buried by an avalanche of tasks, feel overwhelmed at times, or like you’re not heading in the direction you want, then this book is what you’ve been waiting for.
The message is simple, yet extremely powerful. I wouldn’t have been able to start my own side hustle and be successful in my corporate gig without the lessons I learned from this book.
- Why your mile-long to-do list might be the number one reason holding you back from what you really want in life
- The ugly truth about multitasking
- The secret to achieving extraordinary results by going small
If you want to be more successful in life, you need to invest in this book. Brendon Burchard did an outstanding job summarizing and condensing the science of what distinguishes ordinary performers from high performers. Check it out.
- Get the scientific evidence on what it takes to become a high performer
- The 5 habits you need to enrich the full spectrum of life; ranging from topics such as clarity, energy, necessity, productivity, and influence to courage
- Extra: Tips on how to land your book on the big bestseller lists
If the thought has ever crossed your mind, “I’m just passionate about WAY TOO MANY things at once,” then this book is for you. This story is all about stepping off the path and following your inner voice, and no matter what struggle you face, be assured that “everything is figureoutable.“
- How to cultivate patience during the trial-and-error process of figuring out what it is that you truly want in life
- How to deal with self-doubt, especially when you need grit the most
- How to embrace your authentic self, especially when you’re multi-passionate about lots of topics
- How to rewrite the stories in your brain, so they serve you (instead of holding you back)
Whether or not you struggle with getting a good night’s rest, everyone should try to improve their sleeping habits, because sleep is crucial to our longevity.
For anyone who wants to live healthier (and longer)—and wants to feel more energized, this is the book for you.
- How lack of sleep might be the reason for the extra lbs around your waistline—and not just your nutrition
- What it takes to turn your home into a relaxing sleep oasis (believe it or not— there are plants that promote better sleep)
- Why your mattress might be full of toxins causing you to toss from one side to the other at night
- Plenty of actionable tips on how to improve your sleep (and my sleep tracker showed me: they actually work!)
If you want to build stronger relationships, whether it’s in business or in your private life, you should have this book handy. Don’t let the fact that it was written in 1936 deter you, this book covers the timeless basics of great communication.
- How to make anyone feel like they’re the only person in the room
- How to master difficult conversations
- Other communication tricks to create deep and meaningful relationships
For everyone—seriously. I wished I’d learned about the power of energy, thoughts, and visualization in school. It works—and it’s the most powerful thing. You can accomplish anything in life if you start believing in yourself and align your thoughts to your outcomes.
- How to hire the universe to get what you want in life
- How your thoughts and energy attract your outcomes, whether you intend to or not
- Why you should never focus on what you don’t want
As soon as you’re done reading your page, immediately celebrate! Do a little happy dance, high five yourself, or just say out loud: “Great job!”
Try this ultimate hack I learned from BJ Fogg, leading habit researcher and author of the NYT Best Seller “Tiny Habits”:
To make a new habit stick, such as reading books, you need to create a habit loop, which consists of three key ingredients:
When you make your bed in the morning, place a book you’ve been wanting to read on your bed.
When it’s bedtime and you’re heading over to your bed, you read just one (!) page. That’s it. Easy peasy.
You can do it!
That’s it. Do one page for the first week, two pages for the second week, etc.
ps—I now even add a second prompt, setting an alarm at 9pm. As soon as the alarm goes off, I walk over to my bedroom, dragging a blanket over the floor to let Ernie jump in the bed, and once I get to my bed, voila: there’s the book saying “hi there. Who’s ready for a serious reading party?” This is how I started my reading habit, and it’s an absolute game changer.
