I have recently rediscovered my love of reading. As someone with many responsibilities, I made the mistake of thinking it was too lavish of a treat to sit with a cup of tea and a good book. I now view reading as essential to my health and well-being. I'm simply a better person when I take time to enjoy reading. I read all types of books. I'm always looking for reading recommendations. Yes, TH-cam was wrong! Loved this video! Will be purchasing some of your suggested books today.
Good for you for using reading as self-care!! I think as a culture we underestimate the importance of reading for our health, our spirits and our humanity. And thank you for your kind words:)
I probably listen to 50 audiobooks a year free from my library. Early retiree as well. I loved Psychology of Money and Revitalizing Retirement though I consume much more entertainment fiction than informative non than I used to. Thank you!
I’ve been encouraging my husband to listen to audiobooks since his eyesight makes it difficult for him to read as much as he would like. He is slowly moving in that direction. I couldn’t read for several years while I was sick, so as long as I can, I will read my paper books!!!
I liked your video self help not my thing anymore I read the Bible . I will read home from Holly Springs thanks for sharing . Your videos are refreshing 😍 .
Thank you so much:). The Bible is the best self-help book there is:). Truly, it has just about every reading category in it! My favorite book of all time!!!
I have a problem with thinking every self help book is going to be a magic bullet, which I know isn’t true but I am always hoping I am going through a lot in my life right now. I am reading Norman Vincent Pearles , The Power of positive thinking right now so I am going to order the book that you recommended of his and also the tennis book and Daring Greatly. Thanks for sharing, I am a big reader and have to hold a real book in my hands.
I think that problem is normal among those of us who love self-help books. One thing I started doing was just determining I was going to find one golden nugget and apply it to my life to move myself forward. That has helped me to stop putting unrealistic expectations on books. I think the books you are choosing to read will be really helpful to you through this challenging time/
I almost didn't watch this, although I love your videos, but wow! I'm so glad I did!!! It was great! I have health coached for many, many years and love motivating people, and this really motivated me. Thank you! I share your videos with one of my groups and I am going to propose we do an online book club for 2025....with some of your suggestions! TH-cam, once again, is so wrong!
Oh wow!! That is awesome!! I’m so happy you watched! Thank you so much for sharing my videos. That means so much to me:). Could I ask why you almost didn’t watch the video? TH-cam said my viewers wouldn’t watch it and I’m wondering why.
@@CarrieOnCoaching Honestly because by the title it was so different from your usual posts I thought I didn't want to take the time to watch (everyone is busy, right?). But I like you so much I wanted to give you the input you asked for, and I am so glad I did!
How many books do you read a year?
