The "tag cloud" below shows some of the subjects covered in my booklist. The larger the word, the more books there are in that subject. This will give you an idea of some of my reading interests.
John Dewey
While Dewey's writing can feel a bit dense for most readers, the message of this book is very important, even 100 years after the first publication.
I think reading is one of the most important invstments we can make in making ourselves better people. While I like a good self-help book as much as the next person, I'm talking about a wide array of books. Books exercise so many parts of our brain, while expanding our worldview and helping us understand the ideas and perspectives of others. I don't know many people who are great leaders or who make a big difference in the world who don't also read.
Consequently, I also believe that one of the most important tasks of parenting is to instill a love of the written word in our kids. If we can help our kids understand the value of reading, of taking the time to consider another point of view, hear someone's story, or even just explore a fantasy world, then our kids will grow into the kind of adults that make the world a better place.
So this section of my website is devoted to some of the books I've loved. Over time, I'll try to keep adding ones that I read, and ones that I have read in the past. I'll organize them in a few different ways, so that visitors can explore and find new books that might interest them.
Happy Reading!
