Story5 out of 5 stars 45
When Carolyn Weber moved to Oxford University to study, she didn't expect to find God there. But she did. As she grappled with her newest and most important relationship, she also found that there was another invitation: to think bigger about love. In this book we follow Weber through courtship and into marriage and parenthood. Now a literature professor, Weber reflects on her relationship with a sometimes-absent father and how that has shaped her.

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

It was such a delight getting to listen to this book and the wisdom he distilled into 12 notes. The lessons coming from a man who lived it, healed from things that could’ve broken him, and then shared it. I’m very thankful he chose to share his experiences at the ripe age of 88!

Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world. How did Guidara pull off this unprecedented transformation? Radical reinvention, a true partnership between the kitchen and the dining room—and memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality.

The Journey

I loved how this whole book was the author’s journey in growing in his leadership and seeing the impact of both side of the house. As a creative entrepreneur it’s hard to balance business and art internally - much like a restaurant! A big thanks to the author for being generous in sharing his lessons. Looking forward to holding the concepts and playing with them in my creative business ventures.

Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a breakup, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times.

After having been forced into a “winter” while in the height of my academic life and business…this book found its way in about 3 months into my journey. It was refreshing, entertaining, and gave me a definition for the season I was in. I enjoyed how she shared her insights through her own personal story and the exploration of others in light of her own.

FRESH MBA GRAD
Reviewed: 05-24-23
I’ve been working through Ibarra’s content at the recommendation of my MBA mentor. Currently I’m a creative solopreneur and have been building my craft/business for 20+ years - these concepts still apply! This book and (Working Identity) have been helpful in understanding the process that was already taking place in my life that I didn’t understand when I went to college in my mid-30s! I’m also thankful for the highlight to “midlife moments as career/midlife are intricately intertwined. I think there needs to be more content out there on navigating “midlife!”

This book is a great tool in helping shed light beyond a personality assessment and moves through to inner freedom. I had felt trapped in Enneagram typing and in this book I see a journey to healing/self-mastery. I enjoyed Ian’s gracious and insightful explanations told through his personal walk and other people’s stories.
