The Gift of The Gifts of Imperfection

The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown

April 10, 2020 by randirock 3 Comments

“Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it’s often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.” This is one of those books I wish I had as a young girl. Perhaps I wouldn’t have picked up on all of the intricacies and layers then that are understandable only with development and years of self-discovery; however, this may have helped to lay a […]

A Modern Mistake – Millenneagram Misses the Mark

Millenneagram by Hannah Paasch

March 19, 2020 by randirock Leave a Comment

Ugh… it’s such a loaded word, but yes, I am a Millennial. I was excited to check out this book because I love the Enneagram. (I’m a Two.) I thought it would provide some fun insight. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I think this may be a book better suited for Enneagram beginners or younger Millennials. I had a hard time connecting to the tone. Furthermore, I didn’t feel that the information inside was anything that I didn’t already know.  For instance, my Enneagram type in […]

Hi Friends!

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

February 27, 2020 by thewheelbarrow Leave a Comment

I think that this is the original book of its kind. Maybe not original, but the first of its kind to have the success that it has had. That is the reason I read it and I must say that it sounded like every piece of advice ever given to me by my father and grandfather. The style described in the book is essentially boiled down to the adage “You catch more flies with honey.” That is EXACTLY my own personal style for interaction. In […]

Adding F*ck to the title makes it seem deeper

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

February 8, 2020 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck should be used in marketing classes as prime example of what you can achieve with proper positioning. This book contains some pretty basic self-help advice (decent advice, for the most part) but appeals to a new audience by including fuck in the title. People who scoff at self-help are apt to pick it up and think, “Hey, this guy swears, he must be like me, not like those ultra touchy, feel-gooders who have a Ph.D. in Musicology but […]

Break it down, get it done.

Get Your Sh*t Together by Sarah Knight

January 25, 2020 by kniki 2 Comments

Get Your Sh*t Together is a basic, yet fun and profanity filled method for sorting out anything you need to in your life, from little day-to-day things to big life changing stuff. This is the second ‘not’ self-help book from anti-guru Sarah Knight, whose first book The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k not only gave the world a fun reprieve from having discussions with spatulas about whether they deserved to stay in their kitchen drawer – it also taught swearword-tolerant folks how to […]

The art of saying “NO”

F**k No!: How to stop saying yes, when you can't, you shouldn't, or you just don't want to by Sarah Knight

January 23, 2020 by kittenkong42 1 Comment

A change of pace for me with a non-fiction, self-help book. This is a new book from the author of “The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k” and is aimed at helping people understand the value of saying “No” in both a personal and professional setting. I wanted to give this a read because weirdly I was just in the process of writing a LinkedIn article about the value of learning to say “No” to things at work so it was interesting to see […]
