The principal at my school got fired, our English department chair lost that position, and the two teachers who assigned this book to AP English students got letters in their file ... #controversyoverload.

I thought this was interesting and easy to read. It is a little dated and there is much that has happened since it was written but the idea is the same. I think Ronson does a good job of being authentic and working through things well. I like how he shares criticisms against him and the way he processes those things.

Lots of wisdom. A book I'll revisit time and again. Some unforgettable nuggets. A little corny, but isn't self-help supposed to be? Kinda loses steam toward the end.

Hey Littens! I haven't been very active on here lately because I've been busy going out/exploring/socializing/ getting out of my bubble. Happy to say I've also been busy reading! Lots of posts to catch up on, starting with the tagged book. Picture of me from my most recent trip to Lake Tahoe.
"To love ourselves and support each other in the process of becoming real is perhaps the greatest single act of daring greatly." - Brené Brown

I‘m always up for a Brene Brown audio! This one is from a few years ago, but nonetheless filled with great lessons born from her research on shame and vulnerability. She just makes so much sense. But I also feel like I‘ll need to revisit this and her other books to help them really sink in. #scarathlon #spookyghostclub #hardlyanywordsearchpoints

I want to specify that the book is good - it's well written, insightful, and has all the trademarks of Jon Robson's style that help keep you captivated. However, the subject matter to hand was to me his least interesting one yet. Compared to the psychopath test or the men who stare at goats, I found this had less to grip me in. Maybe it's just that I'm not as removed from this topic as the other stories, so felt like I already knew what happened

This morning‘s early wake-up 🎧📖audiobook choice. I‘ve come to really enjoy the quiet mornings with an audiobook.

This is the second Brené Brown I‘ve read (after Atlas of the Heart) and I liked it enough to want my own copy. I like that the guideposts had a spectrum and that Brown emphasized that accepting yourself is not an item to check off the to-do list; it‘s an ongoing practice and some days it‘s easier than others.
