Book Review: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* (Not caring)– 5 Takeaways That Slapped Me in the Face** I picked up The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson thinking it would be a handbook on how to become a carefree rebel who flips off stress like an action hero walking away from an explosion. Turns out, it’s more like a philosophical slap to the face—with love. Manson isn’t here to coddle you; he’s here to shake you out of your own nonsense, all while swearing at you like a motivational speaker who just got cut off in traffic. So, what did I learn? Here are my top five takeaways from the book, counting down from #5 to #1 because, let’s be honest, dramatic countdowns make everything feel more important. #5: Happiness is Overrated (and Your Problems Are Your Fault) Surprise! You’re not special, and life isn’t supposed to be a 24/7 highlight reel. Manson says we need to stop chasing happiness like it’s a lost puppy and instead accept that life is a series of problems. The trick isn’t avoiding pr

5 Takeaways 'The Let Them Theory' by Mel Robbins The Let Them Theory Amazon link https://amzn.to/42eoFYj I’m Judy Croon, and let me tell you—Mel Robbins has kicked off 2025 in serious style. Her latest book, The Let Them Theory, has topped bestseller lists and earned glowing reviews, including an exclusive sit-down with none other than Oprah herself. While I wait for Mel to pencil me in for a chat, I thought I’d share the Top 5 Takeaways from this insightful “shelf-help” page-turner. If you’ve ever been stressed, frustrated, or downright overwhelmed trying to control everything (and everyone) around you, this book is your permission slip to stop. Yes, you can finally take a deep breath, let go, and—wait for it—let them. Now, this theory has floated around therapist offices for years, but it takes someone like Mel Robbins to dust it off, pop on her signature black spectacles, and give us a fresh perspective. With her trademark mix of tough love, heartfelt encouragement, and a little humor, Mel reminds us: “

Outlive-The Science & Art of Longevity Book Review Hey there, I’m Judy Croon. Canada’s Keynote Humourist Welcome to my Podcast. Book Review: Outlive – The Science and Art of Longevity By Peter Attia and Bill Gifford Houston, we have a problem. Our genetic make-up cannot keep up with our environment. According to Outlive-The Science and Art of Longevity- an imbalance of what we are genetically made up of and our modern environment has led to an increase in chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Our bodies are not equipped to handle all the processed foods that we are consuming at alarming rates. Take fructose, for example. Fructose used to be our friend when our consumption of it was limited to fruit and honey. Unfortunately, now, there's an overabundance of fructose in so much of the processed food that we consume. Our bodies are struggling to store more fat than we need. On top of this, we are not exercising as much and we’re exposed to lots of pollutants. In other w

Book Review -The Power of Now – A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now should be on everybody’s bookshelf I still remember the day when I saw this quirky spiritual teacher and self-help author being introduced to us on Oprah’s show in 2000. Winfrey was so impressed with Tolle that she recommended The Power of Now in her magazine O. Two years later, the book reached number one on the New York Times Best Seller list. By 2008 it was translated into 33 languages. But before I get into the book review, did you know that Eckhart Tolle was homeless for two years? From Park Bench to Prophet Eckhart Tolle lived a life that could only be described as extraordinary. Born in Germany, he wandered through Spain, and studied in England before finding himself as a researcher at Cambridge University. Despite battling with suicide obsession, depression, and anxiety, he eventually found spiritual enlightenment. At one point, he found himself isolated from society, homeless and

Atomic Habits by James Clear Book Review (Including, a special bonus called The Seinfeld Strategy) Atomic Habits by James Clear is a terrific book that digs deep into the science of forming habits -good and bad. Clear offers ‘clear’ strategies for folks to build good habits as well as ‘clear ‘strategies to break the bad ones. Clear emphasizes what many experts have stated before. That is, over time, small incremental changes (or what he calls ‘atomic habits’) can lead to big transformations. Now, in a separate article, Clear wrote about the impact that incremental daily habits had on one of the biggest comedic minds – Jerry Seinfeld. At the end of this book review, I explain how Jerry used an incredibly easy daily routine to soar to stardom. But first, back to Atomic Habits. Using solid research, personal experience and actionable steps, Clear divides his book into four areas: The Fundamentals, How to Build Better Habits, How to Break Bad Habits, and Advanced Tactics. Section 1 - The Fundamentals: In t

The Pomodoro Technique by Francesco Cirillo The Acclaimed Time-Management System That Has Transformed How We Work. What does a tomato and productivity have to do with each other? The Pomodoro Technique (named after a tomato) is a cool way to help you get stuff done during the day. It breaks down big tasks into smaller ones so you don't feel overwhelmed. By using this technique, you'll be able to manage your time better and feel more in control of your work. This will make you a better worker and make your work more fun. When you break your bigger task into smaller tasks, each of these smaller tasks or time intervals is called a pomodoro, which comes from the Italian word for tomato. This technique was created by a university student who used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to help him stay focused and productive. Why do Italians call the tomato a pomodoro? Let me tell you! Apparently in 1548, a Tuscan steward described the tomato as pomi d’oro which translated means golden fruit. That later became pomo
