The Power of Habit
This is one of the books everyone should have on their bookshelf. Personal and professional success support aside, the deep dive into why you do what you do is worth the read. But getting back to success, Charles Duhigg’s bestseller, is the key to unlocking permanent and positive change in anyone’s life at any time. […]
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
For years, people have recommended this book to me. Finally, I made the time to read it and wished I had heeded the advice much earlier. I also wish author Angela Duckworth would have been alive and as prolific back when I was a teen. It’s a long way of saying this is a book […]
Winter Wellbeing: Seasonal Self-Care to Nourish, Sustain, and Warm Your Soul
As a child, I loved winter. As an adult, not so much. Colds, snow-driving, slippery sidewalks, and frigid temperatures take on a new meaning when you’re in the middle. So why do I live up north? There are many reasons, most of which center around employment. I’m here, and so is winter. Ho-hum. That’s why […]
Unblock Your Purpose: Breathwork, Intuition, and Flow State
There are a lot of books out there focused on finding your purpose. This one, by author Francesca Sipma, approaches it somewhat differently.

Walking Well: A New Approach for Comfort, Vitality, and Inspiration in Every Step
Written by two movement experts, Michael J. Gelb and Bruce Fertman, Walking Well is a book strongly advocating the power of steps. But it’s not about getting out and walking; it’s about walking well to enjoy the experience and gain from the endeavor. Much of this begins in the mind. Fear of falling or past […]
The 12 Week Year: Get More Done In 12 Weeks Than Others Do In 12 Months
I love books that inspire productivity. The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington is one of them. The authors challenge you to shift your mindset to quadruple your goals this year. This thought process improves outcomes, momentum, productivity, and confidence. Whether you desire personal or professional success, consider the metrics. […]
Meant For More: Following Your Heart and Finding Your Purpose
As a child, author Karen Olson couldn’t shake the image of homeless people she’d encountered. The heart-tugging images stayed with her, and in time, she acted on the instinct to help. As founder and CEO, I am the emeritus of Family Promise, a charitable organization dedicated to sheltering, feeding, educating, and empowering the homeless community. […]
