Recent Readings

What is the last book you read? Was it for pleasure or profession? Did you read it because you wanted to or because you had to? I recently had a therapist that works for a private company and has been referred to counsel two of my students, counsel me. She urged me to "take time for myself" and be careful not to "over do it". As she sat there and cautioned me to take time for hobbies. She didn't understand that I meant it when I said that my profession is my hobby. I love what I do. Perhaps that is why the books that I have read for pleasure are all some form of self help or professional enhancement books.
My most recently read books were "7 Habits for Highly Effective People" by Steven Covey and Schools of Fish by Philip Strand. The best book that I've read recently would have to be The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Ruiz & Coyote. I recommend these works of inspiration to any one in education!
