Fuel your mind, not just your cup ☕️📖🥰
We’ve officially launched a free book-swap space here at our barista school. Our goal is simple: to promote the magic of reading and create a space where big ideas can be shared as easily as a shot of espresso.
Books have been a pivot point in my own life. During the pandemic, I spent hours diving into philosophy, and it completely shifted my perspective. My journey started with the Hermetic wisdom of The Kybalion, which led me into the life-changing insights of Epictetus and Seneca.
We’ve stocked our shelves with some heavy hitters to get us started, including:
• The Courage to Be Disliked – Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga
• Of Human Freedom – Epictetus
• The Ramayana – Valmiki
• The Daily Stoic – Ryan Holiday
• Letters from a Stoic – Seneca
• 50 Philosophy Ideas You Really Need to Know: Ben Dupre
• Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything – Viktor Frankl
It’s a community library! Feel free to take a book that speaks to you, leave a book that changed your life, or simply stop by to share a recommendation.
We hope this is the starting point for some incredible conversations. Let’s grow together, one chapter at a time! 🙏☀️
