How to Be Inspired and Learn Something New

How to be inspired and learn something new, grab a book for inspiration. You can read or learn about almost any topic you wish.
I used to just read fiction but non fiction is my go to at the moment. I have read many books in the last few years and I feel I have learnt so much. The more I read, the curiouser I get.
I aim to keep increasing my “what I have read book list”. From each book, I gain at least one big takeaway which is amazing if you think about it. Even if they were little nuggets of knowledge, the accumulation of them add up. Below are the books I started with.

On Audible
In addition to the list above, I managed to add more books to my book list by using my audible app. I started on a free trial with a free book which is also available to you on the link below.
You can sign up for the free 30 day trial and you can pick a free book, which you get to keep even if you find that it’s not for you. However, make sure you cancel before the 30 days ends. You have nothing to lose.
I love this app, it makes my car journeys to and from work a lot more interesting, and I sometimes have it on while I’m meal prepping in the kitchen. An added bonus with this app is that if you don’t like a book you can return it and you get to pick another one.
Can’t decide on a book. Have a look at my reading list above or my audible books below for inspiration.

Further reading
If you have read my blog post “Challenge Yourself” , you will know that I read at least a book a month. This year I am challenging myself to read two books a month. The two books I’m reading at the moment are“The Case Against Sugar” by Gary Taubes and “Big Magic” There is nothing more satisfying than getting engrossed in a book that can feed your curiosity on a topic you want to learn more about. It can be eye opening, encouraging, inspiring or a good form of escape from reality with the right novel. Let me know what you are reading at the moment. Love to hear. Until next week.
