Announcing the October 2021 LibraryReads Picks (Feat. Recordings from the Authors)

Read by Nicol Zanzarella

A law professor and author teaches non-attorneys how to think like a lawyer to gain advantage in their lives—whether buying a house, negotiating a salary, or choosing the right healthcare.  

Lawyers aren’t like other people. They often argue points that are best left alone or look for mistakes in menus “just because.” While their scrupulous attention to detail may be annoying, it can also be a valuable skill. 

Do you need to make health care decisions for an aging parent but are unsure where to start? Are you at crossroads in your career and don’t know how to move forward? Have you ever been on a jury trying to understand confusing legal instructions? How to Think Like a Lawyer has the answers to help you cut through the confusion and gain an advantage in your everyday life. Kim Wehle identifies the details you need to pay attention to, the questions you should ask, the responses you should anticipate, and the pitfalls you can avoid. Topics include: 

Selling and buying a home
Understanding employment terms
Creating a will and health care proxy
Navigating health concerns
Applying for financial aid
Negotiating a divorce

Wehle shows you how to break complex issues down into digestible, easier-to-understand pieces that will enable you to make better decisions in all areas of your life.

HOW TO THINK LIKE A LAWYER - - AND WHY By Kim Wehle

Is it just me? Am I the only one who’s lonely? Am I the only one without friends?

If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, Amy Weatherly and Jess Johnston, founders of the widely popular Sister, I Am with You, are raising their hands to say, “Yeah, us too”. And they want to encourage, equip, and reassure you that you have what it takes to build the kind of friendships you want.

I’ll Be There (but I’ll Be Wearing Sweatpants) provides you with the how of cultivating deep relationships in this messy, chaotic, beautiful life. Through Amy and Jess’ wisdom, humor, and confessional stories about the ups and downs of sisterhood, you’ll learn how to:

admit you need friends - then go out and find them;
dismantle the lies you’ve believed about friendship;
love yourself so you can find people who will love you for you;
be a good friend even though you can’t be a perfect one;
heal from a friend breakup - and find the courage to try again.
It’s time you felt completely accepted as you are - from the top of your messy bun to the tips of your unpedicured toes. Let’s start making friendships a priority - together.

I'LL BE THERE (BUT I'LL BE WEARING SWEATPANTS) by Amy Weatherly & Jess Johnston | Chapter 1
