We talked a whole lot about belonging and connectivity coming off of covid... we hope that you've learned as much as we have this season.
As the school year winds down, the Arkansas A.W.A.R.E. podcast wraps up its second season with a special episode dedicated to summer reading. Hosts Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore share their top book recommendations that go beyond the usual beach reads. From 'The Boys in the Boat' by Daniel James Brown to 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman, this episode is packed with thought-provoking titles that promise to keep your mind engaged over the summer.
The hosts also take a moment to reflect on the past season, which delved into mental health in education and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on school communities. They discuss how maintaining emotional health is crucial, and how activities like reading fiction and spending time outdoors can contribute to well-being.
Books like 'How Emotions are Made' by Lisa Feldman Barrett and 'Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less' by Greg McKeown offer valuable insights into understanding our emotions and simplifying our lives. Meanwhile, 'Get Your Life Back' by John Eldredge and Thomas Nelson and 'The Bomber Mafia' by Malcolm Gladwell provide compelling narratives that are both informative and engaging. With their characteristic wit and relatability, Betsy, Nicole, and Stacy ensure this episode is not just informative but also a delightful listen.
They sign off with a heartwarming message encouraging everyone to enjoy their summer and take time for the things they love. Whether you're an educator looking for professional development or someone interested in mental health, this episode offers a treasure trove of resources and reflections to ponder over the break.
