RehabRN book club: The TGIF edition

Yes, dear readers, it's been a while. Books just take forever anymore, especially when I spend an inordinate amount of time with my new baby computer, trying to get everything where I want it. Online backups are wonderful, yet slow.

However, I must say, I've found some good stuff to read. As I may have mentioned earlier, Brief by Joseph McCormack is a keeper. If you're a fan of the Elements of Style, it's more concept than rule. It really does give practical advice. I'll be buying one (since I got threats from the library if I didn't return it).

My most recent finish (on Wednesday) was Presence by Amy Cuddy. To me, there's a lot to like in this book. As a rehab nurse, you'll be cheering for Amy because she's a rehab patient who's made it (she had a DAI for all of you who are interested.) As an escaped business person, she went to work at Harvard Business School and changed up a lot of things with her research. Overall, Amy's book is stories of how presence changes things (see her TED talk for the rest of the story).

Trust me, I'll be posing it up before my next set of meetings. Why not?

Have a great weekend! Enjoy every minute.
