I listened to all three books I will
review on Hoopla last month. I really love Hoopla- though six audiobooks a
month still seems a little stingy for me.
When Less Becomes More: Making Space
for Slow, Simple, and Good by Emily Ley focuses on reducing the overscheduled
life to reduce the burnout we all suffer from.
I loved this book- the simplicity and solid examples were just what I
needed to hear- I may borrow it again, but I want to check out Emily’s other
books first- she is a new favorite!
Boundaries Updated and Expanded
Edition: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life by Henry
Cloud and John Townsend I listened to as it is
recommended by the Dave Ramsey folks as a good way to set limits on people in
your life who are draining you- I was focused on the financial draining piece,
but recognize I have many additional areas in my life where my boundaries need
some work and attention.
That said, this book is based in a
Christian setting, with MANY bible references and that can be overwhelming. I
did not read the references while listening to the book (I was driving for most
of it) so I may have missed bits along the way. I am also pretty sure this is
not a book I will read again. Once was enough.
The third book on my list is one I
have read before and will read again. I have been a Dave Ramsey girl since 2014
and am striving to live a debt free life. That said, I have areas where review
is a good thing.
The Total Money Makeover: Classic
Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness by Dave Ramsey is a step by step plan to get yourself free of debt.
Our US society tells us debt is normal, car payments are normal- Dave tells us
it is time to be weird. It is a simple plan that is not easy but is well worth
it. I have not yet reached “Debt Free” but I am focused and making strides!
Love me some Dave!
