Podcasts about personality changes everything

Our guest today is Anne Bogel, most recently the author of Don’t Overthink It, which came out on March 3, 2020. Followers of this podcast who’ve taken my advice may have checked out her podcast, What Should I Read Next, where she talks books, reading and recommendations with guests—because I’m a huge fan. Anne is also the author of I’d Rather Be Reading and Reading People: How Seeing the World Through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything, the host of a second podcast, One Great Book and the blogger behind the Modern Mrs. Darcy.com.We talk about genres, owning your expertise, finding your voice and launching a book in a global pandemic. Some favorite advice goes straight to the title of Anne’s latest book: don’t overthink it. Sometimes, the right idea for a book is the one that’s always with you, that you’re interested in, that feels easy and obvious to you because it is—but isn’t such a cakewalk for everyone else.#AmReadingAnne: Musical Chairs by Amy Poeppel (available July 21st, 2020)The Switch by Beth O’Leary, who also authored The FlatShareKJ: The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky ChambersJess: Wild Horses of the Summer Sun by Tory BilskiThe Boy from the Woods by Harlan CobinThanks to everyone who supports the podcast financially.

(Shout out to our episode with Amy Stephenson from The Booksmith, who initially recommended it to us, and to our favorite audiobook provider, Libro.fm.)       View this post on Instagram Picked this up @elliottbaybookco from their #stafffavorite shelf, cracking it open tonight. #essays #hollandreads #literarytourism #shoplocal @grandcentralpub A post shared by The Novel Neighbor (@novelneighbor) on Jul 29, 2018 at 4:54pm PDT   --- Chapter II [26:37] In Which No One Tells Holland She's Crazy, People Love Their Greeting Cards, The Drunk Booksellers Marvel at Novel Neighbor's Ability to Handsell Events, and We Reiterate that Bookstores are a Business (whaaaa?) The Novel Neighbor: More Than A Bookstore The Novel Neighbor is not just a bookstore. In addition to author events, they host birthday parties, summer camps, bookstore yoga, and adult classes (like continuing ed, but sexier), among other things (sorry Amanda!). Recommended reading for staff retreats: StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think by Laura VanderKam Beware of squirreling, y'all.   Chapter III [47:06] In Which We Move From Books to Books, Talk About Hybridity, and We Finally Meet a Bookseller Who Has Read Harry Potter Book Description Guaranteed to Get You Reading  Anything meets anything.

Emma recommends Hawkeye by Matt Friction. It's Buffy meets Veronica Mars. Which apparently is listed on Emma's shelf talker. But, like, who reads those? Desert Island Pick The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett Emma hasn't finished The Secret Garden, but The Little Princess might be Emma's Desert Island pick. That said, she hearts Mandy by Julie Andrews, which is kinda the same thing, so that counts, right? Station Eleven Picks Practical: anything from the Did you Know shelf, such as How to Stay Alive in the Woods: A Complete Guide to Food, Shelter and Self-Preservation Anywhere by Bradford Angier Political: Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard Wild Pick The Amazing Adventures of a Nobody and The Kindness Diaries: One Man's Quest to Ignite Goodwill and Transform Lives Around the World by Leon Logothetis Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama Bookseller Confession Holland hated Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff and The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney. Also, she never read Catcher in the Rye, which both Kim and Emma are totally okay with. Emma says you should skip Catcher and read Franny and Zooey.  Shout out to a bookseller who has actually read Harry Potter. Go-To Handsell Best book Holland has read since she opened the bookstore (whoa): The One-In-A-Million Boy by Monica Wood Kids of Appetite by David Arnold (if you liked Outsiders, read this) Go-To Picture Books: Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast by John Funk, illustrated by Brendan Kearney Interstellar Cinderella by Deborah Underwood, illustrated by Meg Hunt Impossible Handsell Good Luck of Right Now by Matthew Quick (author of Silver Linings Playbook and The Reason You're Alive) FYI: Emma's really into Richard Gere.   Book for Booksellers Throw back to Laura VanderKam 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works by Dan Harris Favorite Bookstores Flyleaf Books - Chapel Hill, NC Elliott Bay Book Company - Seattle, WA Strand Book Store - New York, NY novel. - Memphis, TN The Last Bookstore - Los Angeles, CA Road Trips are for bookstores, right?

This episode's guest is Anne Bogel. Anne is a podcaster, blogger, and author. She is also known as a tastemaker through her popular book lists and reading guides. Recently, Anne wrote a new book titled Reading People: How Seeing The World Through The Lens of Personality Changes Everything. We spoke about the power of reading, personality frameworks, and why it is important to be self-aware. Here are some highlights of the show: The different kinds of personality tests: Enneagram, Myers Briggs, DISC The same activity can be healthy for some people and very stressful for other people Knowing your motives so you can be really productive Why many introverts can look like extroverts Why circumstances can affect how introverted or extroverted we are in situations Taking time to step back and reflect Relevant Links: http://www.modernmrsdarcy.com/ (Anne Bogel’s website) https://www.amazon.com/Reading-People-through-Personality-Everything/dp/0801072913/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=vardyme-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=41466ad2dfa43783305e57e424807068&creativeASIN=0801072913 (Reading People: How Seeing the World Through Lens of Personality Changes Everything | Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/Power-Moments-Certain-Experiences-Extraordinary/dp/1501147765/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=vardyme-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=40d7bbc069b13fecf076db0db828dec9&creativeASIN=1501147765 (The Power of Moments by Chip and Dan Heath | Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/Road-Back-You-Enneagram-Self-Discovery/dp/0830846190/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=vardyme-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=e2f2ee23939c2417827caac12131c31b&creativeASIN=0830846190 (The Road Back To You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery | Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Power-Introverts-World-Talking/dp/0307352153/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=vardyme-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=88d1211a2b6e4327a09497346ef9ec03&creativeASIN=0307352153 (Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking | Amazon) http://www.9types.com/rheti/index.php (Enneagram Test) https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test (Myers Briggs Test) I had a great time chatting with Anne and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do.

When Nines are healthy and self-aware, they learn to feel special and important. They get in touch with their own passions and feel secure enough to stand behind their accomplishments. They become assertive and decisive. But when they switch to autopilot and spiritually fall asleep at the wheel, they doubt themselves and become more pessimistic. The deadly sin, or the passion of Nines, Sloth, is really about the failure to invest in your own self-development, in your own spiritual maturity, becoming your own person, finding your own voice, and claiming your ground. Nines need to be reminded that they matter. Nines need to do things for themselves, invest in themselves, and not feel like it's a poor investment.  In her book, Reading People: How Seeing the World through the Lens of the Personality Changes Everything, author Anne Bogel talks about being at peace with who you are. And, of course, who doesn't want that? I mean, I don't know anybody who doesn't want peace with themselves, to have a sense of consonance, a sense of integration despite all of their dings and dents.  Part of the journey for Nines is learning to take action on their own behalf and invest in themselves. One helpful way for nines to summon self-compassion and find peace with who they are is to imagine what it would be like for somebody else to experience what you are experiencing.  Ask yourself,  "What advice would you give someone else?" Then use that to summon the appropriate action for yourself. Anne Bogel is the creator of the blog Modern Mrs. Darcy, the voice of the top-rated books and reading podcast "What Should I Read Next", and a bona fide personality geek. Her first book, Reading People: How Seeing the World Through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything, combines her loves of literature and personality frameworks.  To learn more about Anne Bogel visit www.modernmrsdarcy.com.

She's also the host of the podcast What Should I Read Next?, but her new book, Reading People, literally changed everything for me. I love this book. I've read several sections of her book several times since doing this episode. It really helped me understand myself better — and my kids! It unlocked the mystery of why we are the way we are. I was blown away by her book. All of the personality tests out there have always confused me. Anne's book really dumbed it down for me. Ha! It’s a very simplistic and straightforward way of looking at personality types. She does a great job of explaining all the types and why it's important for you to understand these aspects of yourself and other people. She also goes into detail on how to take this knowledge and interact with others. I'm so excited for you to listen in with my conversation with Anne! She is amazing.   BOOKS MENTIONED… Reading People Reading People- Audiobook Quiet Highly Sensitive Child Stella by Starlight Out of My Mind Crossing to Safety Persuasion Jane of Austin Echo – Audiobook The Magnolia Story Capital Gaines   LINKS TO OTHER THINGS MENTIONED… (See more details on the SHOW NOTES!)

Anne Bogel was one of the very first guests on the Brilliant Business Moms podcast. And I still remember the giddiness my sister and I felt when she was the first ‘big’ person who agreed to an interview. (If you don’t know, my sister and I launched this podcast back in 2014. Sarah has since left to pursue her own business and she’s doing great!) Though Anne modestly received the compliment, I’m still pretty delighted to have a noteable blogger on the show - again! Since our 2014 interview, Anne has since added ‘author’ to her list of credentials. Her book, Reading People: How Seeing the World through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything*, launched this year and is available now. Knowing yourself isn't as simple as taking an online quiz like ‘Which seltzer water best describes your personality?’. (True story!) What I love about Anne’s book, and our conversation, is that it helped me delve deeper into what makes me, well, me so I can best optimize my success. If you’re coming to this topic with no prior knowledge of personality types, that’s okay! Psychologists say that if you don’t know anything else about your personality, knowing if you’re Introverted or Extroverted is a good starting point, it’s the ‘the North and South of Temperament’. What if you’re one of those people whose personality type is that they hate personality types, as my husband would say!? Anne has thoughts for you, too! Other topics we discuss include: Clues that you might be a Highly Sensitive Person (experts say about 15%-20% of species are highly sensitive) and what you can do to unlock the keys to understanding a finely calibrated nervous system. How your personality affects how you run your business. How you can leverage your personality to plan your day. And the benefit of knowing how people’s differences helps you view the world.   If you’re ready for some self-discovery, click play below: (embed player) *Amazon affiliate link.

This week Anne chatts with Keith Watts, a Seattle resident who credits Star Wars with making him a reader, and Top Gun for making him a history major. Keith and Anne discuss what it’s like to grow up in a house full of books as a kid, and how he later had to assume responsibility for shaping his own reading life as an adult.Today we get into how and why Keith's preferred reading format has changed with his stage of life, and why he passionately believes one of the most popular books of the last few years is objectively terrible. Anne was especially excited to talk to Keith because he’s devoted to a genre some of you listeners have said doesn’t get enough love here on What Should I Read Next.
