The joy of doing just enough
  Rating: 5/5 stars

This book is something you will want to pick up and read again. I enjoyed reading this book and it was also a quick read for me.
This book introduces a made-up word called satisficiency which is satisfaction and sufficiency together. This book has made me realise that it does not matter if you dont work for a big company or having a high social media following.
This book teaches you how to do enough at home, work, socially and with your beauty regime. For example at work you should try and make yourself look busy even if you are not, socially just showing up to a party is enough as we get older we dont want to go to parties as they seem burdensome. With the beauty regime it is enough to just moisturise your skin daily and apply some lip balm.
Another important chapter is relationships, it is enough to watch tv with family and spend time having dinner together rather than going on holiday.

These are the four stages of sleep and it has been found that some people have disturbed sleep in these stages such as those with Austism Spectrum Disorder. It has been found that not getting eno

The autistic brothers Rating: 5/5 stars Author: Thomas Clements Review: This is a good read for an insight into autism. It tells us the story of two brothers on the autism spectrum, one who has written the book and the other providing illustrations.  Both brothers are on opposite ends of the spectrum ranging from mild to severe symptoms of the illness.  Thomas who suffers from aspergers also known as mild autism suffers from alot of difficulties from getting bullied at school and having meltdowns, to not sustaining relationships and struggling with his independence. On the other hand, Jack who suffers from autism severely, relies on his routine which is to go to college, can communicate very little verbally by using repeated phrases (echolalia) and has picky eating habits. He hasnt gone through the same social spindle as his brother as he hasnt faced bullying even though outsiders do feel his stimming is rather odd.  Both brothers share the same love for trains and relian
