We're taking bets that listening is important...

Here are a few of the books I have read over the last few weeks.

Just Listen by Mark Goulston
* This was a paradigm changing book that I think everyone should read. It is how we don't really listen to others for understanding. We need to be more attentive and we would get much more satisfaction out of our relationships. If you have teenagers this book should be a must read.

Maze Runner by James Dashner
* An absolutely fascinating book about a future Earth. Almost like Lord of the Flies, but in a eerie controlled setting. This book sets you on an adventure and once you think you have figured it out the floor drops out and there is a whole new reality. Amazing book.

On the Bright Side: Finding Hope in Every Today by Jim Howard
* A cute little book that gets you to remember the importance of being happy.

Live to Tell by Lisa Gardner
* A scary tale about child mental illness and murder. Another D.D. Warren detective novel set in Boston. There are always great twists and it keeps you guessing until the end.

Simplify Your Work Life by Elaine St. James
* Although I don't have a job I am trying to make sure I do things better. This book is a little old and might be out of touch with how things are today rather than 2000, but there are some neat ideas and tips to be better.

Other books I have started:

The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch - Joseph Delaney
The Difference Maker - John C. Maxwell
