About a year and a half ago, my daughter encouraged me to start reading self-development books. I started with “You’re a Badass” by Jen Sincero and moved on to Gabby Bernstein’s “The Universe has your back.” I’ve read so many self-development books in that time I’ve become a different person.
A year and half does change a person. I just happened to be reading along the way. I came to understand my love language and why men and women think differently. I studied how to be the most productive, courageous, thoughtful and clear leader possible. I asked why we judge others and how to move beyond it. I learned new ways to navigate stress and pain in my life. Though it all, I read poetry that made me feel inspired, happy, sad and generally introspective.
I’ve always been a reader. Whether it’s a Jane Austen or Brendon Burchard, both feed my heart, mind and soul and make me better page by page. What are you reading? How are you feeding your mind and soul through the written word? Whatever speaks to you is what you should read. If you’re not much of a reader, consider books on tape or podcasts. The point is to feed your mind – how you do it is less important.
If you want recommendations, let me know. I keep track of all the books I read and am always happy to make recommendations based on what you want to focus on or expand in your life – and that changes over time and what you’re going through at any given time.
