Alright, let's dive into this week's newsletter.
π Book Lessons:
I know a lot of people want a new book to read (or book to buy for others) during the holiday season so instead of one book recommendation this week, here's a list of 10 book recs in a wide range of genres.Enjoy!
β Actionable Advice:
1) Buy a book for yourself:
You're going to have more free time than usual since it's the holiday season so buy a book to read.
2) Buy a book for a friend:
Spread the holiday spirit by giving your friend a book without any strings attached.
3) Donate your old books:
If you have some books you didn't enjoy or aren't relevant to you anymore, donate them to a library or local book store to give them a second life.
This also makes space for new books.
π§ Podcast Update:
I took my favorite two lessons from my podcast with Jay Papasan and made them into clips.Watch them here:
