Psych Nest is a new service that focuses on taking great mental health books written by the best authors, summarizing and condensing the material so that busy psychotherapists are able to get to the information we need AND get a really high quality paraphrased preview of the book so we know whether we want to actually buy the entire book or not. Created by two mental health professionals, Psych Nest is bringing new psychological interventions, approaches, theories, and ideas to mental health professionals with fast and easy access, saving us time and money. How many times I’ve bought a $45 book only to find out it didn’t contain the kind of information I was hoping for. With Psych Nest I’m able to test drive a book before buying it AND I’m getting the info I need more efficiently. Try it for free here!
Way #2. . .
When I am ready to buy a book I’m often wanting to read it right away and I really am loving my digital library system, I must say. I was one of the curmudgeons who hated the idea of digital books when Kindle first came out. . . but it grew on me as I embraced a more minimalistic lifestyle. I still love the feel of a real book in my hands, don’t get me wrong. But when it comes to my hunger to learn and read rather voraciously, I have found the Kindle Unlimited program to be an absolute God-send. I am able to immediately access thousands of books – whatever I need. I mentioned I’m a voracious reader so this program is perfect if you are like me and read a lot! Psych Nest helps me decide which of the books I want to download in full and then this Kindle Unlimited gives me access to the original authors’ works. I must say it is very nice to have access to my entire library in the palm of my hand at all time. When I am looking for that one intervention I read about last month and need it right before a therapy session it’s only a tap and a swipe away. You can check it out with a free month of service here:

Listen while you drive. You’re life will be transformed once you build this into your regimen. They used to be called “books on tape” in the 1980’s and now we have Audible! I have found that my time in the car is the perfect opportunity to take in some information using Audible. When I’m traveling whether it is for business or personal vacation time I’m able to relax my eyes and put in my ear-buds for listening and learning while waiting at the airport, on the plane, or in the car. If you’ve never tried it, this service will likely hook you into a new way of learning. And they, too, offer a free trial with this link here.
