Happy fall! I’m sharing a few things that I hope you’ll find interesting.
  • A book recommendation about becoming a better conversationalist.
  • A TED talk about getting things done.
  • A podcast about family.

Book Recommendation:
If you’ve ever wondered about what you can do to improve the way you communicate, We Need To Talk: How to Have Conversations That Matter by Celeste Headlee offers some great tips. Headlee discusses what we can do (and not do) in order to better engage in conversations as we speak and listen to each other in ways that really help us connect. 
 
TED Talk:
Sometimes dreams can seem daunting and out-of-reach. In this TED talk, Stephen Duneier talks about breaking down big goals into tiny, manageable chunks.

Podcast:
In This American Life Episode #360: Switched at Birth, the story of two families is told. Two baby girls were accidentally switched at birth. One mother realizes it right away and mentions it to her husband, but doesn’t tell the girls until 43 years later. A fascinating look at nature vs. nurture, and how the mothers, siblings, the community, and the daughters themselves respond to this revelation.
