I am a voracious reader and every week I come across either a book, online piece or website I want to share with others. I’ve decided to curate these gems and highlight them on Friday. I hope you find these faves as insightful as I do.
- Messy people can rejoice. For those who aren’t always tidy, Rebecca Greenfield offers hope in her piece, “If You Want to Be a Slob, Be a Slob.”
- Where does creativity come from? Tim Vernimmen presents his perspective in the piece, “Where Creativity Comes From” in the Scientific American.
- Not disciplined enough? That may not be a bad thing. Oliver Burkeman explores an alternative view in his piece, “Self-discipline is overrated, so go easy on yourself.”
- Are you attempting to keep up with the information overload via your devices? Think about this: “An endless bombardment of news and gossip and images has rendered us manic information addicts. It broke me. It might break you, too.” Andrew Sullivan’s “I Used to Be a Human Being,” is a worthwhile read.
What were your favorite reads this week?
I read Lab Girl, and My Last Continent and liked both of these – one is a memoir, one a novel.
Thanks for chiming in, Valorie. Lab Girl is on my list. I will check out My Last Continent too.
The way I’m an ambivert, I’m also both neat and messy. How can this be?? I’ll have to read about being messy.
