Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
1. Grab your current read.
2. Open to a random page.
3. Share two (or three or four, if you’re me) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page.
4. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
5. Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
From the book I’ll be reviewing on Friday, Living Like You Mean It: Using the Power and Wisdom of Your Emotions to Get the Life You Really Want by Dr. Ronald J. Frederick:
Oftentimes when my clients are on the brink of an emotional experience – their feelings are right there, ready to break through – they will stop and ask me, “What do I do now?” They find themselves in uncharted waters, unsure of which direction to go and anxious about how to get there. Like many of us, they desperately want to be in control.
And one from my current read, Writing as a Sacred Path by Jill Jepson
The constant need to meet the expectations of others draws writers away from their true selves and deafens us to our authentic voices. You can’t remember who you are when half the world is vying for your attention: you need solitude for that.
