Fun: How to Own Your Mind
Our marketing team has been doing a book club and we're currently reading The Power of Moments by Chip & Dan Heath. (We read their book Made to Stick before this one.)
Besides that, I just bought The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People but haven't made it past the intro.
I also started re-reading How to Win Friends and Influence People. I read it in college for a class and told myself I was going to re-read it once a year because, even though it was originally published in 1936, the concepts are still so valuable today. But, it's been at least three years since I last read it...oops!
For Fun:
I use the term "fun" very loosely for this one but I've made it about a quarter of the way through Crime and Punishment recently. It's supposed to be one of the best books ever written but I am struggling through it to be honest. It's definitely a change of pace from my usual fun reads.
I also had a friend recommend The Silent Patient and plan to knock that one out one weekend hopefully!
7 habits is DENSE so only one crack at it but definitely worth the read.
How to win friends was a surprising favorite as well, amazing how long ago it was written but how spot on it still is. I know
Personal: One Life by Megan Rapinoe
I just finished Atomic Habits by James Clear and that book was mind-blowing. It's crazy to read something that literally teaches you how to rewire your brain. Honestly, it's one of my favorite books that I've read this year.
Next on the list: Just Work by Kim Scott. I know a bunch of my IMPACT peeps just finished it and loved it so I'm looking forward to that one.
I am interested in reading Greg McKeown's new book, "Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most"
