    So many books, so little time? Headway might be your solution! 

    22nd June 2025 / Comments Off on So many books, so little time? Headway might be your solution! 

    Review of Headway, the Book Summary App As you might have guessed from my blog’s name, I’m an avid reader of personal development books and happily devour them from cover to cover, one right after the other. My biggest challenge is narrowing down my ever-growing ‘To Read’ list and deciding which book to pick up next! There are just so many incredible books out there, packed full of transformative ideas, but never enough time to read them all!  Also, after completing numerous qualifications over the years (and admittedly feeling a bit burnt out) I have started to explore new ways to fuel my passion for personal growth without the commitment…

    23rd February 2023 / Comments Off on How to create a reading list for your personal development

    Are you wondering what personal development books you should read this year? I’m a self-confessed bookworm and lifelong learner so personal development books are always at the top of my ‘To Read’ list!  I love soaking up all the knowledge and wisdom they hold, I relish the self-exploration they encourage, and enjoy learning new, helpful strategies that I can put into practice in my own life.   However, I noticed that I was randomly selecting my reading material and had got into the habit of snapping up the latest personal development books, leaving all of my other books to gather dust and, sadly, demoting them to ‘shelf-help’.  I realised that…
