It’s such a relief to meet a truly helpful book. Today, I want to introduce you to three books I’m currently reading that are not only helpful, they’re changing the way I think.
You want to quit eating so much junk food, skipping exercise, and procrastinating but you just can’t seem to do it.
Read The Power of Habit and learn about the 3 step habit loop. Fascinating.
You want to stop comparing and worrying about why you don’t have what they have, get to do what they do but you’re stuck.
Read Status Anxiety and you’ll start to understand the cultural history of work, status and what the author calls the two great loves. Compelling.
You want to be more grateful and joyful but end up grumpy. You want to love your life but you can’t seem to find the answer.
Read One Thousand Gifts Devotional and love your life again. Delightful.

Thank you, great suggestions, although I was at ACF Four Points this evening, I’ve been coming since Christmas Eve and I love it, your comments about stuff, managing it and not being managed or enslaved by it were compelling & timely. Books are my weakness and I have bought them compulsively since I was a child. I think I will get a library card and borrow these books you recommend.
Blessings, Dea. :-)
ps. Speaking of stuff, I had to walk away from most of my “stuff” as I relocated back home to the US after living overseas for a number of years rather suddenly.
Firstly I thank God I’ve lacked for nothing, and 2nd while sad for having to leave it all, surpisingly after a number of months I don’t miss any of it , all those clothes, bags, shoes, books, kitchen utensils & other things. I feel…liberated. I love Will’s sermons and I’m grateful to have found you both & ACF.
I am in the 1000 Gifts devotional now. Love it!
Thanks for all the great recommendations, Susie! Look forward to checking them out.
And can’t wait to read yours! Heard great things about it ~ gorgeous promo video.
