Fast Forward to 2017!

Greetings! I may not have posted for years but today I was inspired to put something out into the world and since I still have a blog I thought, "Why not post it?"

So much has happened since my last post including finishing my Ph.D., taking a new job, moving to Kansas, and many new adventures with my husband and our friends. We are also now minimalists and following a primal/paleo diet. I am a few weeks away from my second half-marathon and a year and a half away from my Half-Ironman distance goal.

I have also been voraciously reading productivity, leadership, and personal development books for the past two years. (Thanks Audible!) Yesterday, I saw Michael Hyatt's post about his favorite business books in 2016 and it made me want to share my list.

Here are my favorite books read in 2016:
Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success by Adam M. Grant, Ph.D.

What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful! by Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Ritter

Drive by Daniel H. Pink

Mindset by Carol Dweck

Linchpin by Seth Godin

The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

If you are at all interested in contribution, success, innovative thinking or improvement at work or in life then I recommend these choices. They are also excellent complements to each other.

Until next time, happy reading and I'll try to not wait another 5 years!
