Books by Mike Baker

Human First stories for real life

Mike Baker writes Human First books about grief, family, ADHD, women’s health, endometriosis, perimenopause, faith, leadership, AI, relationships, creativity, loss, hope, and the pressure to keep going when life asks more from you than you thought you had.


These books come from real life. They come from being a husband, dad, healthcare CEO, creator, advocate, former Mormon, person with ADHD, and someone who believes people deserve truth, courage, and care when life gets heavy.


The books are connected, but you do not need to read them in order. Start with the one that feels closest to what you are carrying right now.
