    This is one I plan on listening to a couple more times while I have it. I need to walk and listen to it.

  • All Over the Place: Adventures in Travel, True Love, and Petty Theft

    All Over the Place: Adventures in Travel, True Love, and Petty Theft

    Great book and memoir. Loved the candor. Made me think a lot about my dad’s death and how I’ve changed since then.

  • Braiding Sweetgrass

    Braiding Sweetgrass

    Currently reading… Don’t buy gifts, Wild Strawberry Liberation Front… Reciprocity, what do you/I/we give back? I’ll be thinking about this book for a while.

  • Discipline Equals Freedom

    Discipline Equals Freedom

    Well that escalated quickly! If you need some motivation to get going, this is it. Also has training and nutrition guidelines.

  • Extreme Ownership

    Extreme Ownership

    Really good advice, the stories are great, the lessons learned are applicable.

  • Having People Over: A Modern Guide to Planning, Throwing, and Attending Every Type of Party

    Having People Over: A Modern Guide to Planning, Throwing, and Attending Every Type of Party

    Part manual, part reflective memoir, a good book to go through and think about how to have people over, how to be a good guest, and what the whole point is (see “The Long Game” chapter)

  • Meditations

    Meditations

    Great to sit and read and think. I will read this and more Stoic writings yearly, I think. Also starting journaling…

  • Mother Tongue

    Mother Tongue

    Interesting read, this is more of what I’d hoped the Babel book would be. I need to think about how to better keep my language skills activated.
