pickThis has been on my bookshelf for 10+ years and I‘m so glad I finally picked it up. It‘s a super short book and honestly it was repetitive so it could have been even shorter, but it think the author wanted to make sure the reader fully understood each agreement. I‘ll definitely use these agreements in the future. I also felt good how I had already changed my “nightmare” agreements and really feel my life has become my dream. I highly recommend.
#mondaymotivation 1. It‘s Ramadan so EID this week and my 3 kids are still on Spring break so family time at the beach and finally my daughter‘s 12th birthday sleep over party. 2. I started making my own Chai Latte from scratch, so lately that‘s the one. But, any hot drink. Usually tea but sometimes coffee or hot chocolate. 3. A book mark and I save them over the years like little memories. 4. Tagged- it‘s been in my TBR pile for 10+ years.
My second post to #ThinkPositiveBePositive.
Going through my library and this caught my attention...
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks, I can post twice, right?? I mean, without being invited again.
pickFeels like your grandpa came up with these one-liners. And I mean that in the best way. These little nuggets of wisdom are no-nonsense and practical. I listened to the audiobook which was nice but I must admit, I don‘t remember a single piece of advice, as it‘s been a week since listening. I think having this book to flip through from time to time would be the best format.
so-soI'm torn. There are elements that make this book unique: reflections from someone who's spent serious time, living and working in Japan, talking to and learning from all kinds of people, that resembles a great memoir, a series of moments with a certain theme running through them. But much of the self-help advice feels like something I've read before, repackaged. It also feels like it might be more useful when read slowly/referred to as needed.
🫣 Relatable.
pickLovely. It would be a great gift for someone graduating. I often give his book Oh The Places you'll Go. This is maybe better.
