Each month Danielle is going to recommend a book for you and a book for your kids and explain how the books can enhance your life. This month Danielle focuses on books that discuss habits, perseverance, and self-discipline for adults and kids alike.

You’ll hear:

  • The power of reading to nourish your mind - even if a book’s ideals don’t align with your values
  • About books that deal with the focus on creating habits and bettering yourself (and your family) so your family  can be prepared to be successful in the future
  • About Danielle’s experience reading Your Future Self Will Thank  You & its lasting impression
  • How the Porter family took a book series that didn’t come from their same Biblical worldview and focused on habits and having authentic conversations
  • How your habits can change and inspire those around you

    • Book 1: Your Future Self Will Thank You, Drew Dyke

    • “Habits are nothing other than a trigger, a reward, and a response.”
    • Habits snowball - good and bad
    • “Real self-control is a hardship and it is typically encapsulated around a  WHY that is bigger than yourself.”

      • Book 2: The Warrior Kid Series, Jocko Willink

      • Building habits from a young age that will support self-control and self-discipline into adulthood
      • Leads to solid family discussion
      • Has a field manual for interactive case-studies, a sort of “What would you do in x situation?”
