What I’m Reading Now

Ever since I renewed my Brooklyn library card I’ve been ordering tons of books delivered straight to my local library branch. It means I’m reading 5 books at once!

Here’s the latest:

Time Management from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern – This book is helping me to see all of the areas I can improve upon the way I organize my day and is getting me excited about purchasing a new daily planner. She has another book which I have out from the library called Never Check E-mail in the Morning though so far I prefer the other.

Live It, Love It, Earn It by Marianna Olszewski – A friend of mine gave this to me as a gift and I’ve started the beginning and am very excited to read it all the way through. LYJ friend Manisha Thakor did a wonderful interview with the author this week on the Huffington Post.

Today I am picking up from the library Martha Beck’s Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What! which I remembered I wanted to read after seeing it on the Obligation Nation Essential Reading list and Womenomics: Write Your Own Rules for Success by Claire Shipman and Katty Kay.

I recently read The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks about the limits we have on our own capacity to take in success and how to get around this, and Get Financially Naked: How to Talk Money with Your Honey by Manisha Thakor and Sharon Kedar which has inspired me to see how important finances are to relationships. More to come on this book.

Dream Big! by Debbie Rosado Shaw. Great to read in bite-sized chunks. Lots of practical tips for success mixed in with her story starting in poverty in the South Bronx to becoming CEO of her own company.

How Successful People Think, John C Maxwell. I just started so don’t have much to say yet.

I have The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Success by Achieving More with Less, by Richard Koch on my desk. The theory is that 80% of our results stem from 20% of our efforts.

And finally, Taking the Leap, Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears Pema Chodron’s latest. Chodron is an American Buddhist nun and her prose is so accessible and somehow always just what I need.
