Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village by Jay Cooper and Maureen Johnson

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth

A Psalm for the Wild-built by Becky Chambers

December 4, 2022 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village by Jay Cooper and Maureen Johnson I got about halfway through this book. The gist is that, in a Quaint English Village, everything and everyone is out to murder you. The first few chapters made me chuckle. I skimmed the rest. There are some quizzes to see if you are paying attention. For me, the novelty wore off after the first one. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson I […]

“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” […]

“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 […]

The first step to letting go is not feeling obligated to finish a crap book

Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty

October 9, 2022 by KimMiE" 3 Comments

CBR14 BINGO: Mind, because this book is about training your mind to “think like a monk.” Also, my mind was greatly relieved when I decided I didn’t need to finish it. I went into this book with complete sincerity. I’d been feeling extremely stressed and caught up in too many pointless non-problems, so when I remembered we had a copy of Think Like a Monk, I thought my problems were over! I even vowed to read carefully, not rushing through in an effort to finish […]

Choosing What We Care About

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson

October 4, 2022 by Ale 2 Comments

My sister is going through a difficult time, and because books always make me feel better, I went looking for a self-help book that I thought she would like. I stumbled across The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, and mostly because of its catchy title, I decided to give it a whirl. I honestly didn’t think it would be as good as the ‘bestseller’ sticker purported, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Subtle Art feels like a giant demotivational poster for all the […]
