Welcome to Litsy!

Final reading crawl stats… 190 pages in 3 hours!!

Did a reading crawl with my book bestie today… a great way to spend a Saturday!!

Good messages to help professionals, parents, teachers and kids not get stuck in positive or negative mindsets, either of which can cause people to be stuck and stagnant in life.

David‘s story was really inspiring to me. I have been through a lot but he taught me a thing or two on how to defy the odds!

"The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" by Robin Sharma is a self-help book that tells the story of Julian Mantle, a successful lawyer who embarks on a spiritual journey to the Himalayas in search of peace and happiness. After suffering a heart attack, Julian leaves behind his luxurious life, selling his mansion and Ferrari to study the seven virtues of the Sages of Sivana. The book offers practical wisdom on how to live a meaningful life and be Happy ?

I finished this one a few days ago. I enjoyed the scaffolding techniques to unlock our hidden potential (and that of others), but I think I‘ll need to read the actual book to really absorb the info. There were chapters meant for parents, or those who work with/mentor young children, so if that‘s not you, it might not resonate. There were also topics for organizations/teams, which doesn‘t currently resonate with me. But overall a great listen.

I don‘t read self help books very often. I guess I find memoirs and novels more meaningful for life advice?

The tagged book is one I read a couple years ago as part of a summer book club. It was interesting enough but didn‘t really stick with me. In fact, upon consulting my reading journal, I see that some of his advice actually annoyed me. Example: Never ever quit. IMHO sometimes quitting is exactly what you need to do.
