I’ve never been one to constantly be reading. I know many who can get through a book in a couple of hours and never fall asleep during the read, like I do. The latest books I read have been through referral, and that’s definitely the best way to discover new books. I prefer non-fiction, so here are some great books I’ve read recently thanks to friends or others recommending them:
How to Be Like Walt - This is possibly the best biography of Walt Disney I’ve come across. The book pulls together Walt’s life lessons and attributes like imagination, optimism, courage, integrity, and hope for tomorrow, and shows how you can apply his learnings to your life.
Blink - A bestseller about snap judgments and first impressions–and their importance. Blink shows you how the hidden unconscious plays a major role in our decision-making.
Vagabonding - Rolf Pott’s book will change your mindset about independent long-term travel. How to get started, life on the road, travel experiences you may encounter, the joy and self-fulfilling affect of travel. This will give you the travel bug.
One Year Off - Long term travel–with three kids! This is a fun tale of a family who left their jobs and sold everything to travel the world for one year. It’s a fun read and you’ll find yourself smiling throughout.
Eats, Shoots & Leaves - Mentioned previously by me, an enjoyable lesson in punctuation and grammar, highlighting the sad state of it in our daily life.
The Power of Now - An inspirational and life-changing guide to focusing on living in the moment and simply being present in the Now, not constantly worrying about the future and dwelling on the past, the cause of most of our pain. I’m halfway through and it creates an exciting new possibilities for self-happiness.
