I’ve been following Arthur C. Brook’s column in The Atlantic, “How to Build a Life” since July 2019 when his article “Your Professional Decline is Coming Much Sooner Than You Think” went viral and really hit struck a chord for me. So when his new book “From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life” went viral”, I was at the front of the line for pre-orders.

One book that has been particularly insightful in helping me stay consistent with my goals and commitments is James Clear’s Atomic Habits. In it, Clear explains how we can use our identity as a catalyst for change, which has been an empowering concept for me and hoping for my fellow Mother Ruckers.
