“Books gave me a lot of help as I made major life changes,” explains Ann Daly, PhD, a professor-turned-life-coach. “They offered me great information, a fresh perspective, and a set of questions for reflecting on my life. Like the proverbial teacher, each book arrived when this student was ready.”
In her new e-book, A Year of Clarity: The Monthly Guide for Women ($16.95, Wollemi Pine Press), Dr. Daly shows women how to get clear about what they want and how to get it.
Which books most influenced Dr. Daly?
Man’s Search for Meaning, by Victor Frankl
Too Good for Her Own Good, by Claudia Bepko and Jo-Ann Krestan
Feel the Fear & Do It Anyway, by Susan Jeffers
Under the Tuscan Sun, by Frances Mayes
The Art of Quitting, by Evan Harris
Dr. Daly will use these titles to guide discussion at her next BookWisdom salon, which begins 7pm on Thursday, Jan. 29, at BookWoman bookstore, 5501 N Lamar, Austin, TX.
Part salon, part Happy Hour, and party self-help group, BookWisdom is a meetup that encourages books as a community resource to inspire and inform women’s lives.
