If you are like me, you may have that pile of books on your side table waiting for you to pick them up! Reading right before bed does not always work.
However there is hope! My favorite new way to read more is actually to listen more!
I am in love with the Audible App.
It does have a monthly charge, and for that they offer some really good content like "Where Should We Begin?" a podcast produced by Audible and hosted by the amazing couples therapist, Esther Perel.
Or you can buy your own audio books. Two enthusiastic recommendations are: 1) Trevor Noah's Born A Crime and 2) Leadership on the Line by Marty Linsky and Ronald Heifetz. In Born a Crime, Noah narrates his own life story growing up in South Africa which is at times extremely painful and at other times extremely funny. It is a captivating way to learn some important history of life inside South Africa during apartheid and beyond.
Leadership on the Line is a really compelling book which provides examples of the many invisible forces that leaders navigate on a daily basis. This books invites you to "step onto the balcony" at times to see your life from a wider perspective so those "invisible forces" may become a bit more visible!
Enjoy!
