I picked up The Year of Less by Cait Flanders expecting a typical minimalism story. You know the kind. A closet purge. A clean white apartment. A neat little moral at the end. That is not what this book is. Yes, Flanders does a no-shopping year. Yes, she owns fewer...

I picked up Mindset like I do with many popular books: feeling a bit skeptical. People often talk about this book as if it instantly changes you, like flipping a switch. I did not feel that way. I did not finish the last page and become a new person. Honestly, I was...

There are so many books telling us to be strong. Books telling us to get through problems. Books telling us to harden ourselves. Books telling us that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. I believed that way of thinking once too. Many people do today. Then came...

You probably think perfection sounds great. In theory, anyway. It feels like the ultimate goal. But Brené Brown’s “The Gifts of Imperfection” argues that pursuing perfection is actually the exact opposite — it keeps you from living fully. At least,...

The book “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan Peterson won’t stay silent on the shelf. It is brave, doesn’t apologize, and is willing to question what most people think. A lot of people think of it as a regular self-help book. No, it is not. It is a...
