Things We Love (and Think You Will Too)

We believe the right book or tool can shift perspective, spark new ideas, and remind you you’re not doing this work alone. This is our curated collection of books and products that have shaped how we think about social work, leadership, burnout, practice innovation, and building sustainable careers.

These are recommendations we share with clients, students, and colleagues — the ones we return to again and again.

Each link takes you to Amazon. As Amazon Associates, we may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases (at no extra cost to you). That support helps us keep We Social Work running and our resources free or low-cost.

We also know Amazon isn’t the right fit for everyone. Please feel welcome to take these recommendations to your local bookstore, library, or an independent retailer. What matters most is that the books and tools find their way to you in whatever way works best.
