I love reading. But I really love listening to books on CD. I started this new thing where I rent LDS books and listen to them in my car as I'm driving between patients. Between this and Laura's books she's lent me from audible, Ive been able to do some extensive studying and learning. These are some of my favorite reads this year.
I guess I read this last year, but Ive been thinking about it this year with my new years resloultions. This is a great book that help you examine what is really important to you and what your motivations are behind your actions. It motivated me to think about my happiness, clean out my closets, appreciate short but sweet workouts, buy a guitar, get a pedicure and enroll myself in volleyball class.
LOVED this book. I don't know if it would have been as interesting to me if I hadn't been having my "Virginia Experience." Here we are still living some of the controversy between races. At work people still whisper when they talk about "those black men, you know how they can be..." This book was narrated by 4 different women and I could totally relate to each of them. I kept thinking, "I know someone who talks just like that" and I could totally picture them in my mind. I am proud of how far we have come as a country, but we still have a long way to go in this department. 
Just finished this book today. LOVED it. It's by a pediatrician who sites the scientific reasons why we need to get our boys outside laying in forts and away from violent TV and videogames. She said to think of a boy as a whole and not just how he performs or even acts. She said the number one predictor of whether a boy would become a successful man was how much time he spent with his father. Not quality time, just time. period. Made me want to double the ammount of time I spend with my boys and to be present- to listen and really hear them.
