FLUKE | BRIAN CLASS
A stand out story is the tale of the man who survived being lost at sea only because a kid happened to lose their football into the ocean a few hours before. The football became the man’s floatation device saving his life. Talk about flukey.
THE GOOD LIFE | R WALDINGER
M SCHULZ
A great reminder of the power of positive social connection. It features the heart warming and affirming findings of the eighty-four year long Harvard Study on happiness. Don’t skip this one!
LIFE IS IN THE TRANSITIONS | BRUCE FEILER
We are primed to expect our lives will follow a predictable path but the reality is that more often than not they don’t. A reassuring book offering solid practical strategies for dealing with (inevitable) change.
MANIFESTO | DALE VINCE
Can you believe that the founder of the Ecotricity green energy empire started his journey with one windmill which he self-built on a mate’s spare piece of land? A true hero’s journey, the guy started with zero before he made his millions. Inspirational!
HUMAN BEING | GRAHAM LEE
Are we healthier, happier, and more able than our ancestors? Human Being by Graham Lee is an entertaining exploration of this question touching upon our abilities of navigation, movement, and resilience to solitude (..or lack thereof).
