Libby Audiobook: Rising Strong as a Spiritual Practice, Dr Brené Brown

 


Choose discomfort over resentment 

Saying no is a moment of discomfort, gives you back 6 months worth of resentment.

Boundaries help you to live with integrity 

Extend true compassion when you are clear on your boundaries 

Fear, grief, perfectionis gets in the way

For forgiveness to happen, something needs to die. Grief is the biggest barrier to forgiveness.

Kindle: A Man With One of Those Faces, Caimh McDonnell

 


I enjoy his writing, marvellously, dry, dark British humour.

The only problem is that this was my nighttime read, so I would more often than not, fall asleep. Which meant that I had difficulty keeping track of all the characters, but that was a 'me' problem.

Libby Audiobook: One Medicine, Dr Matt Morgan


 

Written and read by Welsh doctor, Matt Morgan.

Very interesting all the lessons animals teach us in treating human illness. 

He encourages Dr to work with vets. Nurses with veterany nurses.

Kindle Audiobook: This one life, Amanda Prowse

 


Very sweet.
Madeleine gets pregnant with Jimmy's child, only realises she is pregnant at seven months.
She has no intention to be a mother. Her mom and dad as well as Jimmy raises little Edith while Madeleine heads up the corporate interior decorating ladder.

How to Survive a Tsunami, Rael Levitt

 


Enjoyed this book. Interesting to learn about Auction Alliance, their growth and downfal. Had a vague recollection of Wendy Appelbaum taking on some big organisation.


Good lesson on reputation and building relationships and what not to do.

Initially quite a bit of name dropping. But suppose that is part of the story.

Kindle Audiobook: You Killed Me First, John Marrs

 


Absolutely love John Marrs' work. This is his latest one, and a bonus was that it was an audiobook on Kindle Unlimited. Binge listened to it. Got a bit confused with all the names and keeping track of who was who and keeping track of what was going on, but, it all made sense, with marvellous twists along the way. Love the narration.
