135. The Summer Books Series: Ask the Big Questions
Overview
Over the months of June and July, I will be sharing books that have really delighted me. Some of them have been written by past guests, while others are new books that have inspired me to think more deeply about sustainability.
My hope in sharing these books with you is that you will be inspired, as I was, and will want to think differently about how you operate this summer. Through this summer book series, perhaps you’ll start asking important questions, like, “What do I really want? What is enough? What is worth it? Where might I be settling? Where and when can I allow myself to choose sustainability?”
Today’s episode offers points for reflection to inspire you to think about what is worth your ambition and effort. What do you do to sustain yourself to support putting in the effort?
