Yep. Right now.

let it go or do something about it

After catching up with Sue and thinking more and more about Dr. Carol Dweck's work on mindset, I think this quote (from Sue) sums up how I will behave this fall.

Either let it go or do something about it.

This kicking-a-dead-horse thing doesn't serve me anymore.  And really?  When did it ever serve anyone?

Three Books I'd Recommend

Just in case you want some inspiring New Year's reading, here are three books I would recommend in a heartbeat.


Unthink by Erik Wahl
If you like reading about creativity or how to foster more creative thinking in yourself and others, Unthink is a super read.  I like to write in my books and I marked more things in this book than I usually do, which is a great sign to me.


To Sell is Human by Daniel Pink
Pink's books are always rock solid, in my opinion.  This one is no exception.  As a teacher and parent I am constantly "selling" ideas and attempting to move others.  This book captures the science and psychology around both. Since Pink seems to be doing a fair amount of speaking around the country featuring ideas from this book, you might be lucky enough to catch him and have your book signed :)


Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck
This book is probably my favorite read from the past couple of months.  It is very "coachy" and you know how I adore {personal} coaching.  Plus, every human on the planet could benefit from a growth-mindset as described extensively by Dweck in this book.  I'm hoping Mr. UpCyclist will read it soon, too.  It is that good.

Do you have any book recommendations for me?  I just went to my local public library to get a new stash and all the titles I wanted were checked out.  Thus, I let these books find me.
