Think Like a Monk (by Jay Shetty)
For as long as I can remember I have been intrigued by the way people think. That search for understanding subsequently led me to investigating how I think. A journey I now understand to have been inevitable. While searching for knowledge…
Astor: The Rise and Fall of an American Fortune (by Anderson Cooper)
In early 2023, I read Anderson Cooper’s book, Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty, because I am ever so curious about the Vanderbilt family.

I’m trying to be better at bailing on books I’m not that crazy about or are ‘just okay.’ It’s not my intention to be critical or discourage anyone else from reading a particular book. There’s just so many adventures…
The Crossing (by Cormac McCarthy)
I am at a season in my life where I feel drawn to books written in the past. There’s something thought-provoking about stories either written decades ago or set in a historical time period. Cormac McCarthy is an exceptional storyteller.
