I don’t mean to get all book club on you but there’s nothing like a good new book on the night-stand!
Here’s my top 5
1. Mel Robbins, Let Them
Mel Robbins has recently come out with a book highlighting a super simple concept that just hit with me. The Let Them Theory. You know those things we can’t control in life that annoy us? It’s about actively letting them go. Like I said, it is such a simple idea but one I’m sure a lot of us, definitely myself included, need a reminder on. I loved learning about all of the different situations I could use this theory in too, it really did give me new found sense of freedom.
2. The Coffin Confessor
This was wild! Have you ever heard of this? Literally a man who has made a business of speaking from the dead. Let me explain – He meets with people before they pass and carries out any wishes they have that they couldn’t carry out themselves when they were alive for whatever reason. This one had me in a hold, I couldn’t put it down.
3. Matthew Perry, Friends lovers and the big terrible thing
I actually went back and listened to it as an audio book and think I preferred it. Hearing Matthew’s voice taking me through the story added even more weight, was a little eerie too as I read it after he passed. Was interesting to hear all of his challenges amidst Friends being formed and filmed. It was a sad story, especially knowing how it really ends but definitely interesting.
4. James Clear, Atomic Habits
I loved this book on building good habits into your life. What really resonated is the concept of votes. Here is a direct quote from the book “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence in your new identity.”
5. Matthew McConaughey, Green Lights
This was such an entertaining read. This is another one I also listened to on audio book. Matthew is such a great story-teller. I actually listened to this one on a plane and am sure the people around me were mildly concerned for my well-being. I laughed, I cried and everything in between. It was a journey and such a great read.
