4 Books


The Art of Learning by Josh Waitzkin 
"Because waiting is not waiting, it is life... I believe in appreciation for simplicity, the everyday- the ability to dive deep into the banal and discover life's hidden richness- is where success, let alone happiness, emerges."

Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton 
"Cour" in Latin mean heart, so the definition of courage is to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.

"Those hoops we become so exhausted from jumping through? We created them. We forget that our maker made us human, and it's okay-maybe exactly right-to be human... We sweep up our mess and hide our doubts, contradictions, anger, and fear before showing ourselves to God, which is like putting on a fancy dress and makeup to prepare for an X-ray"

Make Every Man Want You by Marie Forleo
This book is written about relationships, but I think it is an amazing perspective on the way you can look at life.

 "There is a law in physics that no two things can occupy the same space at the same time. In other words you can be complaining about your life... or you can be living your life... You cannot do both at the same time."

"...[we] have approximately 50-60 thousand thoughts per day and 95% of those thoughts are the same ones we had yesterday."

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
Build your life around things worth keeping

"He saw them laboring, saw them suffering and turning gray about things that seemed to him entirely unworthy of this price..."

"All are grateful, although they themselves would be deserving of gratitude."
