Good Recent Book Reads

If I had more time, I'd write better reviews, but here goes--not even writing full titles, going off memory and some of these titles are long:

1.  Thrive by Dan Buettner:  Fascinating!  Learn about the 4 happiest places in the world, why they are happy and what changes you can make to your life to wring the happiness out of/into it.

2.  The Naked Mom by Brooke Burke:  Saw her on the talk and decided to get this from the library thinking it would be another mom saying the same stuff.  40% IS the same stuff, but the other 60% was fun and comforting.  Very quick read.  Love that she says there is no such thing as balance, just "managing chaos".

About to read (once Amazon ships it!):

3.  Fifteen Minutes Outside: 365 Ways to Get Out of the House and Connect with Your Kids:  I'll let you know!

Still reading (for the last 3 months, I have about 70 pages left):

4.  The No-Cry Discipline Solution by E. Pantley:  Love this author, have read 2 other books by her.  She takes a really human/maternal approach and also acknowldges how hard it can be and how angry we can get, etc.  Good tools.
