My Reading Challenge for 2024 📚🏆 (13/30)

Hey there!

For those of you who've had the chance to chat with me, you're probably well aware of my passion for diving into books and discussing them endlessly 😬. I enjoy posting about the books I've read along with memorable quotes from them, and that's exactly the purpose of this blog post.

I've challenged myself to read 30 books this year (👉👈), and I plan to regularly update this post with each new book I complete 🙌🏻.

Same as Ever by Morgan Housel

"..you can only be an optimist in the long run if you’re pessimistic enough to survive the short run."

Self Care for Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson

"Psychotherapy must be the only place on earth where going backward is the fastest way to move forward. Patterns of interaction in childhood teach who we are and give us deep, often unconscious expectations of what we can expect from life."

You Think It I'll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld

"I’ve remained myself while my currency has increased."

Hold Me Tight by Sue Johnson

"Love is not the icing on the cake of life. It is a basic primary need, like oxygen or water. Once we understand and accept this, we can more easily get to the heart of relationship problems."

Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It by Kamal Ravikant

“Return to your present,” my friends told me over dinner. “Pain is when you’re in the future in your head.”

Old Babes in the Wood: Stories by Margaret Atwood

"… having a good memory was a blessing, but I’m no longer so sure. Maybe forgetting is the blessing."

Make Your Bed by William McRaven

“You cannot paddle the boat alone. Find someone to share your life with. Make as many friends as possible, and never forget that your success depends on others.”

Feel Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal

“When you want to succeed as badly as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”

Die With Zero by Bill Perkins

”Many psychological studies have shown that spending money on experiences makes us happier than spending money on things.”

Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport

“..let’s face it, checking your “likes” is the new smoking.”

Set Boundaries, Find Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab

"..short-term discomfort for a long-term healthy relationship is worth it every time!"

Maktub by Paulo Coelho

"Certain things in life are made to be experienced, not explained."

Consider This by Nedra Glover Tawwab

"Most things in life require on-the-job training, whether relationships, parenting, or work. Be willing to learn as you go. It’s okay to make mistakes along the way. That’s part of the learning process."
