“Vulnerability is not oversharing, it’s sharing with people who have earned the right to hear our stories and our experiences. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.”

Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience by Brene Brown

November 7, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

In one word: Mind-Altering Cannonball Read Bingo: Heart I was already a big Brene Brown fan before I opened this book, so I knew to steel myself for something that was going to teach me, challenge me, and break my brain a little bit. Guess what? That’s exactly what happened! This is not something to read cover to cover but is a manual for understanding and navigating emotions. It’s a good read, great even, but it took me over four months to read by design; […]

“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.”

No Hard Feelings: The Secret Power of Embracing Emotions at Work by Mollie West Duffy and Liz Fosslien

November 1, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

Cannonball Read Bingo: Font This year I started a new job and it was a huuuuge life shift: new industry (from non-profit higher education to for-profit tech corporation) new physical environment (hybrid to remote only) new role (administrator to enabler). (Yes, enabler is a real job title. Who knew?!). As with all things, I approached it with a thirst for resources that would equip me with the tools to be successful and help me find my way. Early on in a “getting to know you” […]

Slightly Baffled

Bewilderment by Richard Powers

October 30, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

Warning: here be spoilers America, sometime in the near future. Astrobiologist Theo Byrne raises his son Robin alone after the death of his wife. He feels like he’s doing a terrible job, especially when Robin is sent home from school for smashing his only friend’s face with a thermos. Robin is a complicated child; intelligent but suffering from Aspergers, ADHD, OCD and probably a few other things. Theo is weary to accept the decision; Robin’s school, meanwhile, is pushing him to put the boy on […]

“Developing self-trust and self-compassion is a whole journey unto itself.”

Unmasking Autism by Devon Price

October 20, 2022 by GentleRain 2 Comments

This is a good overview and self-help aligned book for what Devon Price terms as “Masked Autistics.” I am among those and saw a lot of positive press for this book from other Autistic people, so I got it for my birthday and got around to reading it this week. This is a well-written and straight forward text, so it was an easy and enjoyable read. I saw several people were crying reading this because it hit so close to home — I did not […]

Okay, but really, you should read this.

The End of Bias: A Beginning by Jessica Nordell

June 24, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 18/30 Yep, still catching up on my April reviews. This one has been holding me up because the book was very good and very smart and those two things by themselves nearly always stymie me in my review-writing, but together it’s just a recipe for disaster. Brain frozen, words will not come. So I am starting this review—which I need to get out of the way because I want to be caught up on reviews before I […]

A few good motivational ideas

It Takes What It Takes: How to Think Neutrally and Gain Control of Your Life by Trevor Moawad, Andy Staples

May 6, 2022 by Halbs 1 Comment

I found out about Trevor Moawad through NFL quarterback Russell Wilson. Moawad was kind of a mental coach for Wilson, as he also was for many other professional and collegiate athletes and programs. Moawad’s dad was a big leader in the motivational speaking and proto-self-help world, with a focus on self-esteem. Unfortunately, Trevor Moawad recently died from a terminal illness. I thought it would be nice to read his book as a kind of show of respect. It Takes What it Takes comes from the […]
