This excerpt is a much better summary than I could think of: 
“There are no neurotics or geniuses or failures or fools. There are only neurotic moments, flashes of brilliance, failed opportunities, and stupid mistakes. But these moments, pleasant or unpleasant, can never fix us into rigid, immutable characters. We cannot help but change. This book is about choosing the direction of your changingness and acting upon your choice.” 
My favorite thing about this book is that it does not come across as most popular "self-help", if you're like me and consider yourself beyond help (Half kidding...) it is more like a reminder that you have a lot of control over your life.]]> 2023-08-01 15:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/plara6/2023WAYRN_NS/wish/2654253216 https://padlet.com/plara6/2023WAYRN_NS/wish/2654994561 Watch Jim Kwik on YouTube or visit his webpage at https://www.jimkwik.com/ but he trains your brain to read faster, memorize better and learn more.

It is about two sisters who see their world turned upside down when they discover a horrifying and otherworldly secret involving their parents. Like all Spanish series, it starts slowly but gets very interesting after episode two. If you want to practice your spanish you can watch it in the original language or you can chose your prefer language as welt. I leave you the trailer link so that you can see if it fits your interest... ]]> 2023-08-15 21:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/plara6/2023WAYRN_NS/wish/2662772631 https://padlet.com/plara6/2023WAYRN_NS/wish/2680311084 My favorite channel]]> 2023-08-31 20:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/plara6/2023WAYRN_NS/wish/2680311084 https://padlet.com/plara6/2023WAYRN_NS/wish/2743899196 A modern retelling of David Copperfield set in Appalachia during the opioid crisis by one of my favorite authors.]]> 2023-10-12 16:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/plara6/2023WAYRN_NS/wish/2743899196
