It seems like my yearly cadence will continue this year. I continued spending minimal time on social media and other attention vampires this year and continued to read more. I managed to complete these books this year (hit me up if you want to know my take on any of them):
– Sitting Still Like a Frog: Mindfulness Exercises for Kids (and Their Parents) by Eline Snel https://amzn.to/4fLWNy6
– Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers by Dane Ortlund https://amzn.to/40o41DZ
– A Grace Disguised Revised and Expanded: How the Soul Grows through Loss by Jerry Sittser https://amzn.to/4fMfxNJ
– How to Stay Married: The Most Insane Love Story Ever Told by Harrison Scott Key https://amzn.to/3WaeD6V
– A Cloud by Day, a Fire by Night: Finding and Following God’s Will for You by A.W. Tozer https://amzn.to/40n3wdc
– Taming the Technology Monster: 8 Guiding Principles for Raising Digital Natives by Sissy Goff, LPC-MHSP https://amzn.to/3W95knF
– Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity by Peter Attia, M.D. https://amzn.to/3DTJw9a
– The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt https://amzn.to/3W2NdQ3
– The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child’s Developing Mind by Daniel J. Siegel, M.D. and Tina Payne Bryson, Ph.D. https://amzn.to/3DTVDmB
– The Bible (ESV) https://www.esv.org/ (yes, I read the entire Bible again this past year)
I thought about writing a short blurb about each book but I found that more difficult than I initially estimated. So, no blurbs. I can say that for me, my life is much richer having read these books than having spent the equivalent amount of time scrolling.
See you in 2026 most likely
