Favorite books
Here are the books I feel that have positively impacted my life:
Come as you are
This book might seem like its about only sex. But it can apply to other aspects in your life. I kept thinking a lot about how I was raised and how that changed my perspective in life. We all have a garden that is planted by how we grew up and not something we intentionally asked for. Sometimes our plants in our garden are negative and hold you back in life. In order to be your own person and grow, you need to plant the flowers you want in your garden and let go of the plants that don't help you.
It gives you practical lessons on letting your negative thoughts go to allow you to be more curious and well, I suppose better sex (that part doesn't apply to me, but you get the idea). When you are holding onto the negative thoughts, this ripples to your career, personal life and everything else. You become more stressed-- you are not in the moment. Your mind is always in the past. This book helps me realize that it's important to let me feel any emotion that I have whether I need to cry, yell, etc -- this is all part of being human.
Fast food nationI like this book in the fact that it gives you a glimpse of what it's like in the fast food industry. My first impression when I heard about this book was I thought it was similar to Supersize me and more nutrition focused. It covers a lot about employment practices which I think would really help me immensely before starting a job. I sort of learned the hard way on the whole employment process-- I mean I was clueless on how to get paid and thought volunteering would give me some leads? Well, my current gig is super helpful and gave me a ton of resources so I think I'm good!
Make it stick
I listened to the audio book. This book is about making sure what you learn will be in your memory. Quiz yourself often is one of the key lessons I learned here.
I've read so, so, many books, after graduating college. I'm glad that I got into it. It was hard at first because books weren't my thing in my younger years. School didn't really make it easy for me to love reading. I was forced and not inspired by the teachers to pick up books on my own. I think my gig definitely contributed to my love of reading-- everyone is so curious and well-read. So if you dislike reading, maybe be around people who do? It really really helps understanding yourself and others when you read.
