How awesome thanks so much!! I will be taking note as I have just started to get into reading, at 34 years old :sweat_smile:… I reckon it is because my life is so quiet and calm now, that I have found new things to enjoy!.. I will be receiving a book tomorrow… but also I follow jamesclear on Instagram so I will give that a bash too!! X

this is the 2nd book from the same author of the surrender experiment. I say start with this book and the surrender experiment. If you are just getting back into reading then these are light and an easy enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed and benefited from reading ‘This Naked Mind’. Does anyone know of any similar style books? I hear ‘The Unexpected Joy of being Sober’ is good too. Any help would be greatly appreciated
