Since you probably won’t be able to do all the summer things you normally do, you owe it to yourself to make good use of some extra personal development time. Here are 5 books I think are particularly relevant reads for your COVID season. Note: [...]
Narrative Therapy - it’s a thing. Understand your life as a story, complete with beginning, denouement, climax, and all the conflict in between. Like any good story that’s not a tragedy (and even tragedies to some extent), our lives have redemption and purpose. Such is [...]
