This Week’s Book: The Nice Girl Syndrome (B. Engel) I may have mentioned it before, but I totally judge a book by its cover. No…I’m not saying that as a metaphoric statement. I judge actual books by their actual covers. I’m completely convinced to pick up a book if it has a great picture on …
This Week’s Book: Change Your Brain, Change Your Life Before 25 (J. Payne) If you are a regular reader of my blog, it should be no secret by now that I have a bit of a love affair with neuroscience. Ok, more than a bit…I find it fascinating. So, I’m always on a quest to …
This Week’s Book: The Bell Jar (S. Plath) I’ll admit it – sometimes non-fiction bores me. Most of the books that I read for this blog are non-fiction and reading them takes up a good portion of each week. Yes, I create balance by always having a novel on the go too (for the record, …
This Week’s Book: Stick Figure: A Diary of My Former Self (L. Gottlieb) So I’m currently trying to make my way through all of the many, many, many books on my shelf. This is a big endeavour for sure. I used to work at a bookstore, so books are abundant in my home and many …
This Week’s Book: Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain (D. Eagleman) Ok, let’s do this! I’m actually super pumped to write about books again…and what a shocker, I chose a book on neuroscience to kick it all off. For those of you who have read my blog in the past, you’ll know all about …
Don’t worry – I’m not going to start belting out the lyrics to Adele’s song (let’s face it…the effect would just get lost in writing). It’s been a while though and, or course, the fault is entirely my own. I haven’t been writing and so you’ve had nothing to read here. I’ve been thinking about …
With the revelations this past week about Gord Downie’s struggle with a terminal illness, I feel that it’s only fitting to write about music this week. For those of you who don’t know, Gord Downie is the lead singer of the Tragically Hip – a Canadian band that has shaped the music landscape and probably …
Let’s stop for a moment and consider a question – how would you define feminism? It’s a question that’s often met with eye rolls or references to bra burning women or shrugs. And yet, it’s something that we need to consider…what with feminism making appearances in the speeches at the United Nations and being touted …
This Week’s Book: The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter – And How to Make the Most of Them Now (M. Jay) Another book – I’m on a roll! This book got shoved into my hands recently by a co-worker who demanded that I tell her if it was for real. Ok, I’m making that …
This Week’s Book: I Smile Back (A. Koppelman) So, another week passed without a blog post from me. I’ve got a really good reason this time though – I was on the tail end of a vacation last week! Ok, it was more of a staycation, but I digress. Considering the type of work that …
