Getting Better by Reading Books

In this episode Maxine realises that maybe she never has to read a book by a white dude bro every again. She gets cross about it and then we can get on with the episode. The Body Is Not An Apology is a beautiful book that validates every body and calls us into action to defeat body terrorism. Maxine might mangle her words on this but the book is pure poetry. You should really read it

Maxine sneaks back from her holidays and tries to tell you all about the book she read months ago. But just tells you to read it yourself. Pretty much…

It’s wonderful, it’s affirming, it’s the book we need to read because we have work to do if we are going to get this world fairer and safer anytime soon.

In this episode, Maxine ignores all the lessons in this book and tries to bore you into joining her on her food freedom journey. She also thinks about how eating and self care relate to excellence (and evidently forgets that the book in ep 8 is the Power of Ritual by Casper Ter Kuile!)

Maxine loves this book so much but ends up talking about Lin Manuel Miranda (obviously)

Where Maxine vaguely remembers she’s supposed to be talking about a book whilst getting all angry about personality tests and straight white men just being everywhere whilst having no clue about life for the rest of us.

Where Maxine subtly slips in that she’s read more than one book a week over the last few weeks and catches you up with the good stuff.

The post Ep 6b – Working Identities by Herminia Iberra and Playing Big by Tara Mohr appeared first on Maxine Horne.

In which Maxine is disppointed to learn that Gay is a man’s name and that over coming problems is merely a case of willingness to accept more (and rearrange time….)

This week Maxine grapples with the ideas in Entrepenuer Revolution and comes to a surprising conclusion

This episode goes a bit weird because I didn’t actually read all the book because it’s not super relevant to someone at the start of their journey. I talk about about how I’m just as excited about organisational improvment as I am self development and I find a key to the way out of my mid life crisis stasis.
