Recommendations
If you feel overwhelmed and unable to take in much information, then go easy on yourself. I recommend reading these, one chapter at a time, then taking a break of a week or so, to let it digest. Audible is great, because you can listen to the books whilst watching the kids play football and they’ll never know.
