Be sure to check out What I Read in the First Half of 2018!
By William Davis MD
I had not read Davis’ book prior to this one, “Wheat Belly,” which focused on gluten. This book talked about all grains as being problematic. This is a great read to learn or reemphasize why grains should not be a main portion of our diet. I love when a classically train M.D. uses his expertise to share the truth against a faulty conventional school of thought, such as “healthy whole grains.” Bits and pieces of “Wheat Belly Total Health” get jargon-y, I believe anyone, regardless of formal or medical education can learn a great deal from Davis.
How to Make Friends & Influence People
By Dale Carnegie
This book is named a classic among businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and those forever seeking to improve their people skills. I have to say, I am impressed with Carnegie! Although first written in the 1930’s, I felt a lot of what he spoke to is still relevant today. In fact, his advice on winning people over in business is what a lot of gurus, coaches, and prominent business accelerators are advocating today. “How to Win Friends & Influence People” is a must if you are a salesperson, entrepreneur, manage people, or simply want to communicate with people better.
The Art of Doing: How Superachievers Do What They Do and How They Do It So Well By Camille Sweeney and Josh Gosfield Looking for a light read? This book includes dozens of stories of accomplished individuals in all different mediums. I love learning about how successful people became that way. If you do too, you’ll learn about some new and familiar people who are the best at what they do and how they got there. I planned to read at least 6 books in the second half of 2018 but fell short. Life happens! I am already excelling on my 2019 book list and I am excited to share those with you later in 2019! Let me know if you have enjoyed these books or are adding any to your 2019 reading list. Also, share some book titles I can add to my ever-growing list! 🙂

If you haven’t attempted learning about yoga, movement, and focusing on the breath and mind, I encourage you to start with this!
