Book Club Update July / August 2022

It's been a bit quiet on the blog. I'm in the midst of preparing a few months off of work to simply hike, climb, run, write, and more. So yes, yes, you can be expecting loads more content over the next few months. This will also be a welcomed break away from the city as we move our base from Ōtautahi / Christchurch to the Lake Wanaka / Lake Hāwea region during that time. Excited I am :)

But before we dive deeper into this new, next chapter, let's catch up on the last few weeks of reading....

I've read a few books over the last couple of months. But this time, there is only one recommendation. This is because not every book I pick up to read is one that I would wholeheartedly recommend to others. Whether or not I end up recommending a book here doesn't make it good or bad. Not at all. It simply means that I enjoyed reading a book or it moved me so much that I want to shout into the world "You've got to read this!"

Well then, here comes my favourite for July / August:

One way we learn and practise empathy and compassion is by telling and listening to diverse stories, non-fictional as well as fictional, like this one.

This way we are able to imagine ourselves in the position of another being. Reflect on the consequences of our individual, as well as, collective actions, behaviours and habits.

So yes, this is definitely a perfect "You've got to read this!" example of a book.

Just a wee reminder: The titles of the books are also affiliate links (where available also in German). If you click on a link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission. You will support me with this but don't worry, the price of the book remains the same for you.
