5 Must-Read Books Our Team Recommends for Physicians

In this episode of Doctor’s Eyes Only®, Vestia Partner and CEO Lauren Oshman does something a little different. She shares five books the Vestia team read together in 2025 as part of their internal book club and walks through the real conversations, reflections, and takeaways that came out of reading them as a group. These weren’t just books read for information, but books that sparked discussion about growth, leadership, resilience, wealth, and how we show up in both our personal and professional lives.Lauren talks through why the team started the book club, how the books were chosen, and what stood out most in their discussions. From handling obstacles and building confidence, to redefining wealth beyond money, to leading without titles and being intentional about the values we pass on to our kids, each book opened the door to practical insights the team could actually apply. The common thread throughout the conversation is moving away from perfection, being more resilient, and thinking more holistically about what it really means to live a meaningful and wealthy life.This episode is meant to be thoughtful and reflective, especially for physicians who are high achievers, navigating demanding careers, transitions, and big life decisions. Lauren shares these books not as prescriptions, but as invitations to think differently, whether you are planning for the year ahead, re-evaluating what “enough” looks like, or simply looking for ideas that help you grow. If you are building a life alongside your career and want your financial decisions to support what matters most, this conversation is for you.Books Mentioned in This EpisodeHere are the five books Lauren discusses, in the order they’re covered:The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holidayhttps://a.co/d/7vs1OwNLinchpin: Are You Indispensable? by Seth Godinhttps://a.co/d/2X2h4ohThe 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloomhttps://a.co/d/3jcZrNzSmall Acts of Leadership by G.
