Reading Challenges: 

The chorus of “shoulds” is loud. You should enjoy the moment, dream big, have it all, get up before the sun, track your water consumption, go on date nights, and be the best. Or maybe you should ignore what people think, live on dry shampoo, be a negligent PTA mom, have a dirty house, and claim your hot mess like a badge of honor.

It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by the mixed messages of what it means to live well.

Kendra Adachi, the creator of the Lazy Genius movement, invites you to live well by your own definition and equips you to be a genius about what matters and lazy about what doesn’t. Everything from your morning routine to napping without guilt falls into place with Kendra’s thirteen Lazy Genius principles.

I picked this one up from a recommendation on one of my reading podcasts. I sped through this book digesting little bits of advice here and there. Thankfully Adachi gives the reader a lot of personal examples to illustrate each of her lazy genius points. None of her advice is particularly groundbreaking, but it is very approachable and easy to implement. After reading the book, I might just start listening to Adachi’s podcast.
