Christmas advice.

Merry Christmas!
I want to take this day to give a single piece of advice. If there is ONE book you should read in the next five years then it is this one:
Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom
It is the non-fiction story of a young journalist (Mitch Albom himself) who goes back to see his dying professor every Tuesday to talk about life’s lessons. While many books encourage you to live meaningfully with inspirational catchlines and do-it-yourself recipes I often find they lack depth. This book goes to the root of your priorities and will challenge you by being down-to-earth and concrete. If you have interest in becoming more self-aware it is a must.
Although the book was released already in 1997 (Swedish translation Tisdagarna med Morrie in 2000) I cannot enough emphasize this book TODAY in a world where we are over-exposed to the culture and values of OTHER people, where everyone wants to be a star and the confusion and sense of failure can be overwhelming unless you get your head straight.
