The Books That Changed How I See People
from Offbeat Journeys · host James Molloy
“Every book leaves a mark. This is where we talk about it.” In this episode of Offbeat Journeys, I discuss the books that changed how I see people. I talk about how these books helped me reframe resilience, bravery, self-respect and empathy. In this episode I discuss: · The book that made re-evaluate quiet strength· The one that made me see how different the system can be for different people· And how judging people based on external first impressions might be a mistake I talk about how books can make us take a moment to re-evaluate judgements we felt sure about and help us to see people and the systems we all must live inside, in an entirely new perspective. If you’ve ever felt understood by a book… if you love stories that linger… or if you’re curious about how writers are shaped by the books they read — you’re in the right place.Subscribe, settle in, and join the journey. 📚 Books Mentioned(Some links may be affiliate links.
