What I have been reading lately

Share a summary of the books that I have been reading lately and if I recommend adding them to your collection.

Hello friends! How was the weekend? We spend it on Phoenix for the LIV dance competition. His team did an incredible job, we enjoyed a family brunch and sneak over for a Lagree class, wins everywhere.

For today’s publication, I wanted to share a small summary of the books that I have read lately. After a small drought, I have done much longer to read recently. (I’ve also been loosening a bit in the Spanish study and IHP 3 study, but this is how sometimes). Almost all of them were home runs and I am excited to share them with you! If you have an incredible book you are reading right now, let’s know. Very soon I will be sitting on a cruise for the terrace with a coffee and a book in my hand and I am very smart.

ADHD is amazing By Penn Holderness

I heard the audio version and recommend listening to this. I have been a fan of the Holderness family for years, and this book intrigues me because I feel that everything I have seen online has convinced me that I have ADHD. I always want to learn, to the postponement pressure (and then spend the whole night or a solid block of 8-10 hours completing something), to constantly change the hobbies (do you remember the flamenco dance and the ukelele?), List of hundreds of business ideas, losing my capacity for attention, feeling exhausted after too outgoing, both of him made sense.

This book is a very fun and real look at what is really living with ADHD. Penn Holderness shares your personal stories and shows how to have ADHD is not something that is “fixed.” Instead, talk about how a true strength can be when you learn to work with your brain. It is fun, revealing and super encouraging for anyone who has felt that their brain works a bit differently.

He also emphasized that ADHD is really a spectrum and, honestly, I’m not sure if I have it after reading this book. (Another testimony of the fact that doctors provide diansis, no google or social networks hahaha). But I still enjoyed it and it is a great reminder about how to support friends and family with ADHD. 9/10

From Amazon:

You live in a world that was not designed for you. A world in which it is expected to stay still, remain silent and grant. Due to the way your brain is connected, you may feel that you are failing in life. But you are not failing. You are awesome.

The creators of winning content Kim and Penn Holderness are on a mission to restart how we think about the unfortunately named “Attention/Hyperactivity Deficit Disorder.” As always, they are doing it looking in the mirror, because they not only study ADHD; They live it.

Penn was at university when he was diagnosed with him, although the signs of having a brain that worked a little different had been there since he was a child. Instead of seeing the diagnosis as a curse or giving in to the feelings of insufficiency or failure, he adopted a different approach, one that he wants to share with other adhders and the people who care about them.

Based on their often hilarious ideas and the experience of doctors, researchers and specialists; Kim and Penn provide funny and easy -to -digest advice and explanations, which include:

How is it really living with a TDAh brain.

How to find humor in the traps, sob stories and incredible triumphs (like the moment they won the incredible race!) That come with ADHD.

How to address the challenges that ADHD presents with a positive perspective.

Specific tools and techniques to play with their unique strengths.

Funny extras such as the Bingo de Tdah, an ode to cargo pants and how the world would look if the adhders were in charge.

Take it from Penn: having ADHD can be afraid, but it comes with incredible ascending, which include creativity, hyperfocus and energy. You could even say that it is a bit incredible. Whether you have ADHD or want to support someone else on your trip, this is the guide you need to make the life you want

The things we cannot say By Kelly Rimmer

This throws your heart totally. It turns between the present and the Poland of World War II as a woman discovers the hidden past of her grandmother. It is a powerful mixture of love, loss and resistance, and the end was not what I expected; It was even more moving and beautiful. If you love the stories of double thimelin and historical fiction, you will love it. 9/10

From Amazon:

In 1942, Europe remains in the relentless grip of war. Rarely beyond the stores in the refugee field that calls home, a young woman speaks her wedding votes. It is a decision that will alter its destiny … and it is a lie that will remain buried until the next century.

Since I was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now, fifteen and committed, Alina does not care about the reports of Nazi soldiers on the Polish border, believing their neighbors who do not represent a real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from the University in Warsaw so they can marry. But little by little, the injustice for brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes over, and the small rural village of Alina, their families, are divided by fear and hatred.

Then, as the fabric of their lives slowly separates, Tomasz disappears. Where Alina used to measure time between her beloved visits, now measures the spaces between hope and despair, waiting for Tomasz’s voice and avoiding the attention of soldiers who patrol their parents’ farm. But for now, even deafening silence is preferable to pain.

Prepare when luck occurs By Ina Garden

I had been waiting to read this book forever, and finally I took the time to listen to the audio version. Far exceeded all my expectations. It was a warm and sincere reflection on how he followed his intuition, he took bold risks and built an iconic career, often without a formal plan. From working at the White House to launch the Barefoot Contessa brand, it is full of stories of its unexpected opportunities, challenges behind the scene and the relationships that shape their trip.

I have been a fan of Ina for years, and I learned to cook when I saw Food Network when we were recently married and lived in Fayetteville, NC. It was wild for me to know that she bought at the same commissioner (in Ft. Bragg!) While she was also learning to cook … but it would be one to show me from a screen a couple of decades later. It is full of funny stories, and it is even better to listen to it with their own voice. It was a beautiful reminder that you don’t always have to have a specific plan; You just have to stay faithful to yourself and be ready when luck occurs. I loved it. 10/10

From Amazon:

Now, she invites them to approach her story with vivid details and share the important life lessons she learned on the way: do what you love because if you love yourself you will be really good at that, you will balancing the fences and you are always ready when luck occurs.
