Planning Ahead and Book Recommendations: Libby, Creativity, Collaboration, and Awakening
Garland Fuller shares an informal update while thinking ahead to 2027 and reflecting on lessons learned this year, especially becoming bolder by "jumping in and doing it." As an avid reader, she recommends the Libby app through public libraries for borrowing e-books and audiobooks, praising its selection, 21-day renewals, and affordability, and she highlights public libraries amid concerns about book banning and censorship.
She discusses three key books: Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way (morning pages, artist dates, and adapting practices like voice memos and nature walks), Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy's Who Not How (achieving goals through collaboration and finding the right people), and Suzanne Giesemann's The Awakened Way (daily practices for a values-aligned, grounded life). She also mentions Gary Zukav's Seat of the Soul, considers starting a book club, and invites viewers to share recommendations, especially nonfiction and memoirs.
