I finished this one a few days ago. I enjoyed the scaffolding techniques to unlock our hidden potential (and that of others), but I think I‘ll need to read the actual book to really absorb the info. There were chapters meant for parents, or those who work with/mentor young children, so if that‘s not you, it might not resonate. There were also topics for organizations/teams, which doesn‘t currently resonate with me. But overall a great listen.

I don‘t read self help books very often. I guess I find memoirs and novels more meaningful for life advice?

The tagged book is one I read a couple years ago as part of a summer book club. It was interesting enough but didn‘t really stick with me. In fact, upon consulting my reading journal, I see that some of his advice actually annoyed me. Example: Never ever quit. IMHO sometimes quitting is exactly what you need to do.

Kerrbearlib I agree. Sometimes quitting is what we need to do. I‘d love to find a good self-help book that helps people decide when to quit vs when to stick with something. 6d
Karkar This helped me a lot. I was stressing way to much and it helped me to not give a f*ck all the time about things that did not even matter 6d
BookmarkTavern Totally agree on quitting! It‘s not a weakness to admit when something is no longer working for you and walking away. Thanks for sharing! 5d

This felt like a summary of a lot of books I've previously read.
There's a lot of useful information in bite size chunks you can use as needed for different areas of personal growth. But it doesn't do a deep dive into any one area. So if you know what you'd like to grow in I'd suggest finding a book that goes more in-depth.

#MidwinterSolace #LitSolace

Activity - Create a mood board

I used to despise winter and the long dark nights. 5 years ago, I became very ill with brittle asthma, triggered by cold temperatures. I now have to spend most of the winter indoors to avoid flareups. Coming to terms with chronic, debilitating illness has been a task.
However, once I changed my mindset to focus on what I could do rather than couldn't, things began to improve.
⬇️

AllDebooks Now, winter is all about embracing the darkness, welcoming the slower pace, enjoying time with teens making hot chocolate, stews, and bakes, making a cosy home to relax in and of course, losing myself in books. I've come to think of it as my hibernation time. 💙❄️💙 3mo

TEArificbooks My sister has that asthma and she lives near Canada border. She hibernates too and as spent much of the time indoors learning to cook too. I have a chronic disability as well. And it affects everything I can do. Mind set is everything to get me through the bad days. I love winter it is becoming my favorite season over Autumn. Staying inside, making soups, playing board games and doing puzzles, reading, sweat pants. 3mo
AllDebooks @TEArificbooks chronic illness is an absolute pain in the ass. It takes time to adapt, but I'm a firm believer in the power of mindset. Stay well xx 3mo

These are brief encouragements to keep going, reminders that we are each unique, special, loved, and worthy. There‘s nothing particularly earth shattering here, but if you need a pick-me-up, it‘s worth dipping into. I wouldn‘t recommend reading it all in one go, though. It‘s nice to actually finish a book, even if I didn‘t love it. Not being able to stick with anything is very stressful and that makes it harder to stick with something. 🤦🏻‍♀️
