Book Club Book Talks

I've been going to book clubs at our local independent bookstore since November.  I keep myself organized with a google doc, filling it out for each book club book I've read.  It helps me sound far more intelligent and thoughtful than I really am when we meet (before the discussion veers off and we grab lattes next door...)

How the Word is Passed

Clint Smith's empathy in "How the Word is Passed" stunned me.  The books is extremely well organized, thoroughly researched, and well written.  I don't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Start a Zero-Figure Blog

Are you even a blogger if you aren't busy telling someone how to start a blog?

Scarcity Mindset

 Our local Buy Nothing Group has sprouted, and I was surprised by the overwhelming scarcity mindset.

A scarcity mindset is when you are so obsessed with a lack of something — usually time or money — that you can’t seem to focus on anything else, no matter how hard you try.

The Hollow Hit of $1M

Today, I joined the two-comma net worth club.  I realize I feel absolutely no different today than I did yesterday, and I don't think I will feel any different tomorrow, either.
