August 14, 2009 book list
Someone asked for my latest reading list. Here are the books Paul and I are studying these days:
ECONOMICS
How is your portfolio doing? If your 401K looks like mine, it has been severely reduced in the last few weeks. I am looking at a different kind of portfolio. This one is suggested in a brilliant new book, POSITIVITY, by Barbara Fredericks, Ph.D., who deals in research into positive psychology. That is right down my alley, since I am totally convinced that the Strengths-Based approach is the best way to go through life.
Voluntary Simplicity
Most of our friends and family know that Paul and I read a lot of books. Every day, we begin with our daily apple, green tea or coffee, and a delicious reading from many interesting books. Yes, we read out loud to each other, and sometimes get caught in long discussions that make for a later breakfast.
