If we’ve learned one thing in 2020 it’s that change is the only constant. We’ve been hit with just about every imaginable scenario of hardship. 

But, we push on. It’s the only thing we can do. 

This weekend we’re going to spend some time recentering ourselves and focusing in on what we can do to become the best version of ourselves. 

One of the best ways we know how to do that is to read. 

Remember, reading is one of the Finnish secrets to happiness. Words, sentences, and paragraphs are the building blocks of ideas and concepts. 

One book can literally change your entire life. 

Here are a few of our recommendations:
