Planning a summer getaway and need a good book for the beach, or that long car or plane ride, or perhaps some reading material for lounging in the hammock at home? I'd love to share with you on Holly's Highlights podcast five must reads for personal growth/development.
Now, for our non-readers, before I lose you here - might I encourage you to just give it a try. Whether it be 10 pages a day or 10 minutes a day. I wasn't a reader eithr - believe it or not, I still wouldn't claim to be a reader. I'm more of an achiever and I like how with books you can start and finish something all while learning and growing at the same time - we'll call that a win!
But there are different ways to get engaged and learn from a good book - whether reading it, listening to it on audio, or even getting involved in a book club for more discussion and perhaps ideas of application from what you read. It helps though if you are reading a book you actually enjoy - so give yourself permission to stop reading a book you aren't liking so much. I personally mark up and write and highlight all inside the books I read - the more notes I make in a book - the more you can tell I enjoyed it.
So, let's pretend you and I are enjoying our favorite beverage together while sitting at a bistro table at the local cafe - and let's take less than fifteen minutes to chat about five must reads for personal growth and development.

How to Talk to People - with Emmy Award winning film critic, Tony Toscano
1 RecommendationsDo you dread that business dinner, social gathering, or even date because you just aren't sure what you will have in common with other people, or if you’ll have anything to talk about at all? Today on Holly's Highlights podcast we have as our special guest famed celebrity interviewer and movie critic, Tony Toscano. Tony will help navigate us through uncomfortable social settings to where we find common ground with anyone we are speaking with, and leave a memorable impression as result.
Tony is a nationally recognized movie critic. His in-depth conversations with such notable stars as Ben Affleck, Mel Gibson, Steven Speilberg, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow and Denzel Washington show a different, more relaxed side of celebrities. In fact, in 2002 his show, Talking Pictures, was awarded an EMMY for "Outstanding Achievement in Interview Programming."
Connect with Tony at Screen Chatter.
