Yo, hey everyone, Adrienne here.

0:11.2

I hope you all having a great start to the week.

0:13.6

I am starting the week with sore legs, but I am not mad about it.

0:17.9

I did a lot of running this weekend, probably the longest run I've done since the summer, because I was looking ahead to 2023 and I was looking at the race calendar, looking at the schedule, putting in some training and signing up to some races. So it's definitely given me the mojo and inspiration that I needed to lace up and to get out and do my Sunday long run.

0:38.8

So waking up today, sore legs, but just a reminder to myself that we can endure.

0:45.1

Okay, so in today's episode, I'm going to share three book recommendations.

0:49.2

Now, someone who reads a lot and listens to a lot of books on Audible, I've always got a long

list of recommendations. But as we're getting closer to the end of the year, I thought I'd share

0:58.5

top rated professor. And in his book, Think Again, he is encouraging us all to do exactly that.

1:24.3

To rethink and to consider other people's viewpoints, to debate and to disagree and to

1:31.4

see these debates or disagreements as opportunities for learning. And I really like Adam Grant's

1:37.1

voice and he narrates the book himself. So I find that really helps. When you're listening to books,

1:41.9

you can tell within the first chapter if you like the person voice. And I really enjoy how he delivers the book. So the book is

1:49.8

Think Again by Adam Grant. It explores mental flexibility, humility, curiosity. And Adam says,

1:56.6

if knowledge is power, then knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

2:06.6

Okay, book recommendation number two is essentialism by Greg McEwen.

2:08.8

Oh my gosh, I love this book.

2:12.5

I have recommended this book, again, to so many people, so many times.
