It’s summer! Time for summer vacation. But life is a quiz so here’s today’s multiple choice: Which of the following, if any, is out of place for a summer vacation:  (A) the beach; (B ) the surf; (C) sun screen; (D) self improvement; (E) none of the above. The right answer: E. Summer is an ideal time to engage in self improvement through reading. But not “War and “Peace” or “You Can’t Go Home Again.” Oh no. It is time instead to learn about actionable information presented in bite-sized and very digestible wisdom. Nuggets. Just the right meal for a perfect summer afternoon.

First out of the gate, “Tribe of Mentors: Smart  Life Advice From the Best in The World” from Austin-based Timothy Ferris. A thought-provoking book full of offsets (but penetrating) questions from an eclectic group. Check out Annie Duke, a website rod class competitive poker player. Ferris asked what advice she’d give to a graduating college student. Her timeless response: “Try to change your mind about one thing every day.” (Mine would be try and learn one truly new thing every day. Move over Charades, I think we’ve stumbled on the party game of the future “Mentor Madness,”)
