Introducing a new nighttime ritual: 5 minutes of journalling and 10 minutes of reading. What's everyone reading this week? I'm almost done reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (what a great book!), but I'm now ready for some self-help/leadership books too! Any recommendations from the people on the bowl?

I'm reading Leaders Eat Last. It's a pretty great book if you want to pick it up next.

This is such a cliché but I'm currently re-reading 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I just realized how many of those things just flew right out of my head now that I'm revisiting it.

The War Of Art by Steven Pressfield is great for anyone who thinks for a living.

FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven is great for anyone who wants to stop thinking and get sucked into a great book.

Nice! Will pick both of these up haha.

I'm reading a bio of John Lee Hooker that caught my eye. I've been on a blues kick lately and thought I'd read biographies of some of the greats. I never read self-help or leadership books, though I'll read accounts by or about people who were leaders. In that vein I'm looking forward to picking up Graydon Carter's memoir.

My friend just got out of a relationship and hooked up with his ex's best friend a week later. They're now dating and seeing each other everyday.
I couldn't help but feel like this wasn't an appropriate thing to do for both parties. He also revealed that he cheated on his past exes.

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?
