- Hey everyone, it's your girl Jen, and today we are doing

It's been officially a year since my last book update,

and so I thought I would fill you guys in

I was doing some reflection a couple weeks ago,

and I actually numbered out all the books

I have never ever read this many books in my lifetime.

But any-hoo, today we're gonna be whittling it down

So my first book is "Essentialism", by Greg Mckeown.

I picked this book up because I have always been

the type to feel overwhelmed, and burnt out,

and spread thin, and I think it's because I've had

this mentality of just, "power through it,

But, it's not a very sustainable mentality.

There are some things you just gotta say no to.

I had a problem just really prioritizing what was

important and what was essential in my life,

I've learned that sometimes doing the most

isn't the greatest thing, and it's important to spend

your time on the right activities and the right people

Being busy all the time doesn't mean that you're being

productive, so if you are the type of person

that just wants to Marie Condo their mind,

or just learn how to use their time more efficiently,

In 2019 Brene Brown became one of my most

If you have not seen her TED Talk on vulnerability,

but I read "Daring Greatly", which is just a deep dive

and how you can live more wholeheartedly.

and I especially loved the bit about empathy.

So she describes empathy as "connecting with the emotion

"that someone is experiencing, not the event

A lot of the times when someone is opening up

to us, or sharing an experience that they've had,

"oh, I can't be empathetic to that because

For example, let's say your friend's like,

"oh my God, I went to work today, and I shat my pants."

Maybe you have not shat your pants at work,

the emotion of shame, and embarrassment, and that emotion

This book gave me a glimpse on how I can live more

unapologetically, and just live more freely,

and it's definitely a book that I want to re-read

because it's something that I wanna keep fresh

So my next book is "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell.

And I know this book came out a long time ago,

It completely blew my mind, but it's been over 10 years,

So this book is about outliers, and outliers

are the most successful, the most intelligent,

most athletic, just the best of the best in the world

And a lot of the self made outliers, we look at them

and we're like, "damn, you did the damn thing."

And yes, that is a huge factor, they did put in

Malcolm Gladwell says that you need to put in

and that is a lot of hours, a lot of time,

I can't even compute how many years 10,000 hours is,

But regardless, we look at these people like The Beatles,

However, Malcolm Gladwell starts digging a little bit

deeper and he starts to point out patterns,

and circumstances, that have happened, to have them

So he defines an outlier as "those who have been given

"opportunities and who have had the strength

So, obviously, putting in the 10,000 hours is a big one,

like when you were born, how long you've had
