Congrats, Alison! Excited I discovered you & can’t wait to “listen to” your book.😉 My fave is listening & reading at the same time (because ADHD). But I don’t listen to music either — I did up ‘til my mid-20s, & I then stopped — all the sad lyrics & melodies became depressing.
At 53, I still don’t listen to music but have FOMO (& wonder if something’s wrong w/ me) b/c most people LOVE it & science says it’s really good for us.
Are you open to sharing more about why music isn’t relaxing for you? Does it negatively impact you in other ways? You’re the first person I’ve “met” who purposely doesn’t listen to music.❤️
For me it's not just music...I don't like listening to anything. I don't mind noise - I love falling asleep with the tv on - but I find it hard to take in info that is purely audio. It just feels like work, so I don't use listening for relaxation.
Congratulations Alison!! We’re book clubbing Likeable Badass here in Mebane, NC and our first chat is October 1st (we’re doing it in parts) - totally stoked to talk through this with my squad! Is there someplace online that lists where you’ll be speaking and/or are you doing a book signing tour?
Love seeing this amazing rollout!
Your next book should be about how to promote a new book 🙃
