Design Yourself 67: Books that Changed Me

In today’s episode Sharon shares some of her transformational reading experiences and a way for us to think about the things that shape us (be they books, experience or people). Hear what children’s book characters have stuck with her and which one actually changed her. (Hint: She’s a very skilled teacher!) Listen as she reads from Lydia Davis and talks about why she really appreciates reading prose written by poets. For anyone who loves books or is thinking about their own story (for a job interview or for fun!), this episode is for you.

“There are worse things to do when you’re in grade two than to spend your time building a dream.” – Iggy Peck
