Oh my there are some good ones here I need to add. I have read many of Jens books and Tylers, I take my coffee black. I loved her book Fierce, Free and Full of Fire. I’ve struggled a bit with some things in the past few years and haven’t followed or read as much, but maybe I should give her new one a try. I listened to Tylers first book on audio and it was good. His voice is great. I’ve always been of the thinking that I don’t have to agree with everything someone says or writes about, to learn something.

What a fabulous line up of books Lisa, and I love the way you describe them: finding our common ground, respecting our differences, and learning how to live well together, things that matter the most.
I really loved Year of Wonders when I read it years ago, it has stayed with me!
Thanks so much for linking up with us, you always have such an interesting array of topics for us.

Thanks for linking up with our #whatsbeenonyourbookshelf challenge Lisa. I think that The Extinction of Experience sounds very interesting and I will add that audio book of this Tyler Merritt to my list. Isn’t it interesting how sometimes diverse items tie them selves together? Bernie

Fantastic selection of books, like everyone else, The Extinction of Experience is going on my list. I’m ashamed to say, I’ve never heard of Tyler Merritt but you’ve piqued my interest. I’m also going to look out for The Year of Wonders. I see you are reading The Let Them Theory, I did take a lot from that book, even though I was already familiar with the theory.

That is a lot of interesting books! I particularly like the sound of The Extinction of Experience and The Year of Wonders.
