7 BOOKS EVERYONE SHOULD READ Turn toThese for Inspiration
March 2nd is Dr. Seuss’ birthday, which is also Read Across America Day. I’d definitely recommend picking up one of those two books to celebrate. You can also check out a few of my other favorite books.
Fiction “The Mistborn Saga” by Brandon Sanderson
“The Wheel of Time” series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson
Two of my all-time favorite books are “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” and “The Sneetches and Other Stories” by Dr. Seuss. Some people might say these are kids’ books, but I think there are inspiring messages for all ages buried in both! Whenever I’m in a funk I pick up “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!” and read the section about “un-slumping.” Dr. Seuss writes, “When you’re in a Slump, you’re not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done,” but he also shares tips on how to do it. By the end of the book, you’ll be inspired to tackle life’s challenges. “The Sneetches and Other Stories” also has a great message. I don’t want to spoil the story, but let’s just say that thanks to the stars on their bellies and a meddling salesman, the Sneetches decide that no one is better than anyone else, and we should all treat each other equally. It’s a great story that I love reading to my kids. TAKE A BREAK
“The Kingkiller Chronicle” by Patrick Rothfuss
Nonfiction and Personal Development “Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High” by Joseph Grenny, Kerry Patterson, and Ron McMillan
“Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict” by The Arbinger Institute
If you’re not a big reader, try listening to an audiobook. There are many great resources for listening to audiobooks if you have a commute or don’t have much time to sit down and read. Happy reading/listening!
