Attention stamina

Happy Monday!

This year, I've been trying to make reading sexy again.

Because as a mum, I can painfully feel how short attention spans are – for kids AND adults.

So I:

• Scheduled trips to bookstores
• Gave my child a special allowance for books
• Used audiobooks to read more without skipping anything
• Ran a reading challenge inside THINK and Speak Like a Native

Honest truth? It's been humbling.

Back in uni, I had a book club, well technically, it's just my friend and I. lol

Anyway, the deep questions and talks shaped who I am. I want that experience for you, too.

Try this: Read the first 5 chapters of Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella (she left us last year – still hurts).

Then answer these two questions:

1. Audrey wears dark sunglasses indoors and refuses to take them off. What do the sunglasses symbolize? How does her family's reaction show their different levels of understanding?
2. The title is Finding Audrey, not Saving or Curing her. How do the first five chapters frame "finding" as a process? What glimpses of her old self do we see?

Reply with your thoughts – and I'll send you an $80 coupon for any of my courses.

Let's make reading sexy again.
