The beach is a fun place, but it can always be a reflective setting for a good read. I always like to end a good day at the beach by admiring the sunset while reading a proper book.
This jumbo-sized list of recommendations is great if you’re a picky reader, or if you blitz through pages rapidly. But while there’s a lot of consider, there are some real gems. My top picks are numbers 5, 16 and 18. They’re truly inspiring and appropriate for a restful beach holiday.

#5 Making Minutes Matter by Mary Kutheis
A friend recently tipped me off about a book I just got called Making Minutes Matter. It is a really good work/life management book that goes beyond the usual how to make your days more efficient, and goes into depth about how to make better decisions so you can do what is important to you (like spending more time on the beach). The book talks about how to handle all those pesky emails, people popping into your office, and other disruptions, and how to address them so you can focus on what really matters.
What I like is that the author, Mary Kutheis, talks about how leaving the office stressed every day and feeling unfulfilled really impacts your life at home. It effects your wife and kids and everyone else.
It’s not only about getting more done but getting the things done that really matter to you both at work and with family. Working through some exercises you become armed with the information you need to shift your focus and mindset, improve decision making, and improve on-the-job contentment.
Kutheis discusses how to make purposeful choices, the value of having an accountability partner, how to establish routines and processes to achieve your goals, overcoming procrastination, and managing stress.
Everything she writes about is backed by her experiences as a business coach and trainer working with corporate executives and business owners for some two decades.

#8 Think Like A Man The Only Guide You’ll Ever Need by jD Shapiro
A MANual which gives away the secret DESIRES of men. This book is very empowering.

They may find an empowering bit of writing in there to get them through the day, or just needing to hear someone else’s opinion.

As a woman in my 40’s there is so much that skims over our life, as if we are supposed to be dead or useless. Not vibrant, motivated, females with a lot to offer the world and no desire to stop.. Though we feel the doubt and pressure to often. It’s a story of bonding, finding self, growing up, and embracing what no one tells you, and that’s ok. Plus a fun read, and I love finding new paths.

Because it’s like therapy in a shot glass, real, relatable review of things we all deal with, most we don’t want to talk about, and the relationship between them.

Take me back to the start when the fire was still burning hot and high
Take me back to when love was easy and we always saw eye to eye
Take me back to when we didn’t know happily ever after was a lie
And even if it was, we didn’t care, we just wanted to give love a try.
Take me back to before things fell apart and I’d hold on tightly to you
Take me back to the start when we were still at the start, take me back to you.
