Another recommendation from our family book club: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. This is a story of parallel universes, and living your best life. Mental illness and suicide are key plot points, but these scenes are written with sensitivity. We often discuss mental illness in our house, so nothing was disturbing or inappropriate for my twelve year old.
Someone recently asked how he could help me to feel less mental illness stigma. I loved this question. I loved it so much that I wrote an article about it:
Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
This book was recommended to me by a good friend, @lashycooper. Since I'm late to the party (it was published in 2016) and I read a lot, I was already familiar with many of the concepts. But I still found it interesting, particularly the sections about want-to/have-to goals, building habits, work (which I think is applicable to other relationships), and parenting. Plus she had clever phrases like the quote in this picture, "grit vs quit," and "walk your why." And it was sometimes a little bit funny. Sometimes.
