I work for the government.  I have two children. I like horror movies. Napping is a hobby of mine. I have not read any book like Way of Kings. The book I read most recently was about treating people who have had someone close to them die. I have a younger good friend who suddenly lost her husband. I read the book because she recommended it. I find the book on grief very helpful. I am closer friends now with the woman who recommended the book to me because I have learned how to support her.
I like novels about government spies. I read a lot. My dad is a fireman. My mom is a doctor. I live with my mom and dad and pets. The book I read recently was  Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I like government spy novels best, but like other genres too. I have a friend that recommended the series to me. I have read the other three books in the series already. I have a hard time reading self-help books but I am rethinking that because of what you said.
Have you ever ridden with your dad on the fire truck? I know sometimes they are allowed to have ride-alongs.  I have! There's a lot of interesting equipment and lights in there.  I can only imagine! It's probably hard to learn how to use all the buttons. Of course, but my dad has been doing it for his entire life, so he knows his way around. Do either of your children like fire trucks? Of course!  I think all little ones go through a fire truck stage. I've sort of outgrown it though, lol. Well anyways, I picked up that book you recommended to me. I've been meandering through it since it's not really my style. After about 20 pages in, I have learned a thing or two about how to improve my social life! That's good to hear. I know self help books can be hard to read sometimes. Yea. I think its a lot of mumbo jumbo, but I've started applying them to my everyday life and I can say that my overall engagement with my coworkers has improved.  I bet that has felt great! I admit I'm not a very good empathetic person, but some of these books have helped.
