❄️INTRODUCING THE WINTER WELLNESS BOOK CLUB❄️
Embrace the winter season with warmth, wisdom, and wonderful reads. Introducing our NEW Winter Wellness mini book club! This limited-time book club is specially curated to embrace the winter season and promote well-being. This special book club will meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from January through March. To learn more about this mini book club, visit our website.
Our first meeting is on Tuesday, January 9 in the Main Library Classroom from 7 - 8 PM. We'll be discussing "Badass Habits: Cultivate the Awareness, Boundaries, and Daily Upgrades You Need to Make Them Stick" by Jen Sincero. Find a copy in our catalog or bring your own!
Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again--our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. The book includes enlightening interviews with people who've successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don't serve us and developing the habits we deem most important. Habits shouldn't be impossible to reset--and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of--and permission to go after--our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit.
For February, we'll be reading and discussing "Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto" by Tricia Hersey.
For March, we'll be reading and discussing "Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone" by Brené Brown.
