My Bookshelf
I am frequently asked about books that I have read or books that I use for a class. Below are some selections that I have found to be particularly helpful.
An important lesson I've learned is that no single book is perfect. Therefore, I draw on the parts I like best from a variety of sources. And I'm always looking for new ways to help me understand confusing concepts. I encourage you to do this too. Learning is a lifelong journey. Embrace it!

Professional development and personal growth
by Randy Olson
What does a scientific research paper have in common with an episode of TV's South Park? More than you imagined! In this book, scientist-turned-filmmaker Randy Olson beautifully shows how the same narrative structure that makes for great storytelling can transform scientific writing. If it worked for me, it can work for you too!

What happens when you ask over 100 successful people from a wide variety of fields for their most important advice? You get a wealth of inspiring, helpful, and sometimes unexpected responses. It's like sitting down for a cup of coffee with over 100 different mentors!

If you're a habitual procrastinator like me, this book is for you. I must have tried every organization and to-do list app out there, but none of them worked for me. The problem was that my lists became so long that I didn't know where to start. This book offers a simple and effective solution that, for me, has been absolutely transformative.
