Summer is the easiest time of year to justify doing nothing. What you do each summer also defines the successful and the not so successful.
I find summer to be a great time to read and learn.
For me a balanced life is about growing in five areas mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and financial intelligence. So, I give you 5 books one for each area. I have read and loved these books. Each one has given me opportunity to educate myself, reflect, choose to change and have great conversations with others.
Summer reading list:
- Mental or business growth:
- Why by Simon Sinek
- Physical growth:
- 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris
- Emotional Growth:
- Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman
- Financial Growth:
- Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
- Spiritual growth: So many books here I wish I could send you my entire library. Here is one of my recent favorites
- Future of God by Deepak Chopra
And a bonus short book:
- The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price
This summer even if you feel your body, mind and spirit telling you to take a break.
Slow down and pick up one of my favorite books as a way to keep learning, laughing and loving the life you are creating for yourself.
