A listener recently asked, “Jen, what is your favorite quote, piece of advice, book, healthy meal and kitchen gadget? Also, I would love to know the standout personal development books you've read.” I answer each of these questions in this Happy Bit.
My Favorite Things:
Quote: “And those who danced were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” – Nietzsche
Advice: “Do what makes you happy.” – Heathcliffe Riday
Books: The Harry Potter Series and The Lord of the Rings Series
Healthy Meal: Chicken breast or thigh fried in coconut oil with a dash of salt, then removing the chicken from the pan and lightly sauteeing a big handful of spinach in the same pan, along with a side of sweet potato.
Kitchen Gadget: Cuisinart Immersion Blender and Vitamix Blender (find Mel Joulwan's MAYO RECIPE here).
