This year was my second-best year of reading. I don’t necessarily mean that the books themselves were the best I have ever read. Rather, I tied for the most books I have ever read in a single year. Surprisingly, I finished 52 books. Below are my recommendations, the books I found most interesting or impactful….
It’s one of my favorite times of the year again – the season of the “best of…” lists! It’s also when your year in reviews come rolling in from Spotify, Audible, and fitness apps. This year, I even got one from Chick-fil-a. My wife asked if I really ate that many chicken biscuits. (Yep!) This…
Do you like to read? I bet it’s safe to assume you do or you wouldn’t be reading a blog post about reading more books! A question I’m frequently asked is…”Have you read any good books lately?”
One of the things I love about this time of year are all of the lists that come out…especially the lists about good books! It’s always a blessing to me when a friend, who is a great reader, let’s me know about a book they loved! Their trusted recommendation saves me time because they’ve weeded…
At the end of every year I like to reflect upon the books I’ve read and evaluate my top reads. Part of the reason is because the books in the picture below represent a significant portion of my life this year. (The equivalent of 9 – 40 hour work weeks to be a little more precise.)…

Did you grow up in a small town? The town I grew up in was so small we didn’t have a traffic light or even a blinking caution light! When I was in college and people asked where I was from, I didn’t tell people the actual town I grew up in because no one…
At the end of each year I share my favorite books from my reading list. This is my 19th year keeping a list. My system is pretty simple…I put every book I read in a document, if it’s a good book I bold the title and if it’s exceptional I highlight the title. This year…
Last week my wife and I celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary! How in the world can that be? In some ways it feels like it was yesterday that we said “I Do” and in other ways I feel the miles we have traveled together. My wife is a Disney nut (I kind of like it…
Do you enjoy your job? Do you look forward to going to it every morning? Are you a TGIF type of person or a TGIM (Thank God it’s Monday) type of person? I meet a lot of people who endure their job rather than enjoying it. Some of these same people believe there must be…
