A friend asked me for recommendations on Mentoring books las Saturday. I went to my library and pulled out two books I have read… but now I want to focus on recent books I have read for recommendations.

Reading books brings me joy, especially during holidays where I sit and read and read and...

I have read or finished quite a few books this past holiday time in Tenerife and Minnesota(and I am still reading, but at a slower pace), and I want to share some highlights in case you need or wish for something new to read.

What are you reading?

Two books I read for my upcoming talk on Stronger Network THIS WEEK: (https://www.strongernetwork.com/strongerconference ) are Lost and Founder by Rand Fishkin and Rework by Freid and Hansson.

I am reading a few books on connection and human relationships for a talk later on in 2023, too: Belonging by Geoffrey Cohen, Connections (again) by Larry Crabb, and The Love Prescription by John and Julie Gottman. There may be other books I read, if I have time.

In 2022 I read The Extended Mind by Annie Paul and I am still reading Radical Leadership by Sprenger (with a client)

Besides telling you about the books I am reading and what I have read, I want to challenge you to go on holiday and do what you love while on holiday. For me it is reading books. What it is for you may be a very different activity, but go somewhere, see some now scenery and enjoy doing what you love. It will do you, your creativity, your work, and oyur company good.

What are you reading?

What are you learning?

I have a friend who regularly greets her friends with the question, “What are you reading?”

This is one of my favorite questions because it assumes that the person is a learner and a reader.

I think we should be both. So, the second question that goes with the first is “What are you learning?”

That really leads to pre-questions:

· Why are you reading these books?

· What books are next in line?

· What are your goals?

· What books and articles are you reading that lead you to your goals?

When it comes to self-development, books are a great choice. What are you reading? This is what I have been reading for growth, for reaching my goals and for success..

Reading and learning are keys to growth and success.

We read to grow and learn, and for recreation. What are you reading? What do you plan to read?
