I enjoyed reading The Midnight Library. It’s a modern-day fable told in a very fascinating way. It teaches the same lesson learned in Into the Wild – “Happiness is only real when shared.” We all need love and relationships in our lives to make them feel like they’re worth living.

The Shell Collector is a feel-good, easy read. It would be a perfect vacation/beach read. The book shows how we can all have a profound influence on the lives around us even when we think our impact is small.

Alex Trebek is a well-known person even though he wasn’t considered a super-celebrity persona. The host of Jeopardy! was made famous by that show, but it wasn’t even close to the first game show he hosted.

Atomic Habits is not just about what habits to have and not have, it’s about how to start small and make it easy to do the things you set your mind to do.
