136. The Summer Books Series: Looking For Inspiration For Your Next Step

Overview

Over the months of June and July, I am 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 is for those who need inspiration to find inspiration.
