Books have always been one of my favorite ways to learn, think, and simply enjoy a good story. This collection includes books that have taught me something, challenged my perspective, or were simply too enjoyable not to recommend. If a book is on thi...

I wrote this book as part of what eventually became Silver Strong Official. It grew from my belief that getting older doesn’t mean becoming less engaged with life or having less to contribute. It’s about staying involved, purposeful, curious, and con...

Silver Strong Official: Staying Engaged & Present

I didn’t just read Atomic Habits—I spent a lot of time with its ideas and created a whole series of TikTok videos around the book. Its message that small, consistent changes can eventually produce meaningful results became part of the thinking behind...

Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

I haven’t read The Gifts of Imperfection straight through from cover to cover. I did something I sometimes do with books like this—I looked through it, found the chapters and ideas that interested me, and spent my time there. What I read about accept...

The Gifts of Imperfection: Embrace You

I didn’t read The Slight Edge straight through from beginning to end. I looked through the book and spent my time with the chapters and ideas that caught my attention. What stood out to me was the idea that the small things we do consistently can eve...

The Slight Edge: Simple Disciplines to Success

I read Ready Player One before I saw the movie, and for me the book was definitely the better experience. One of the things I enjoyed most was all the references to the 1980s. I lived through that time, so there were things throughout the book that I...

After reading Ready Player One and then seeing the movie, I wanted to find out where Ernest Cline would take the story next. Ready Player Two gave me the chance to jump back into that world and continue the adventure with characters I already knew. I...

Ready Player Two: A Novel by Ernest Cline

This is the book that started me on the Emma Griffin FBI Mystery series, and I’ve now read about 11 of the books. Each one has its own mystery or case, but what has kept me interested is that Emma’s own story continues and develops from book to book....

The Girl in Cabin 13 (Emma Griffin FBI Mystery)

A excelkentread. I enjoyed it. It’s set in modern day and in pioneer times. I love the way it ties the two times together. Highly recommended.

The 19th Wife: A Novel

If you haven’t started to read the series, you are missing out on a lot. I was never one who thought I would get into books that featured werewolves and pixies and goblins and vampires and other assorted creatures. But I picked up volume one of this ...

Order of Kim Harrison's Hollows Series

If you enjoyed immersive sci-fi with a heavy dose of nostalgia, Ready Player Two is worth your time. It builds on the world of virtual reality introduced in the first book, but raises the stakes by exploring deeper questions about technology, identit...

With America celebrating its 250th anniversary this year, there is no better time to pick up David McCullough’s masterpiece about the year it all began. This is the story of George Washington and the ragged, outnumbered army that somehow held togethe...

1776 : McCullough, David: Amazon.fr: Livres

I read Man’s Search for Meaning many years ago, but its central message about finding meaning and purpose even through tremendous hardship is one that has stayed relevant. Viktor Frankl’s perspective makes this much more than a book about surviving t...

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

My connection with Stephen Covey’s work actually started before The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was published. I had read his earlier book, Spiritual Roots of Human Relations, and later, while working at CEVA Logistics, I went through a weekl...

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

I read The Last Lecture shortly after it came out because someone recommended it to me, and what an amazing book. Randy Pausch knew he was facing the end of his life, but this isn’t a book that leaves you dwelling on death. It’s about living—dreams, ...

The Last Lecture: Pausch, Randy, Zaslow, Jeffrey

I first got into How to Win Friends and Influence People years ago when I was married, raising a family, and living in Michigan. I checked the audio version out from the Dearborn Public Library, along with the book and a course they had available. I ...
