What financial advisers are reading this summer
Reegan Rae, Co-CEO, Arnerich Massena
Professional read: “Think Again” (2021) by Adam Grant
Description / Reason: I had the pleasure of watching Adam Grant present at an advisor conference I attended several years ago. Because of my psychology background I am drawn to his views on leadership, human behaviors and relationships. I recently ordered his new book, “Think Again” and hope to find some time to crack it open soon!
Leisure read: “Untamed” (2020) by Glennon Doyle
Description / Reason: I found it to be profoundly inspirational. The book is a memoir, and tells the story of the author’s experience discovering and becoming her truest self. She spent her early life trying to live up to the world’s expectations of her — to be the “good girl” she was told was the hallmark of a virtuous life. But she came to the realization that suppressing who she was in order to fit herself into the world’s boxes was exhausting and unfulfilling. In her book, she explains the importance of listening to yourself and becoming the truest, most authentic version of yourself you can be.
I think this book speaks both to me personally, but also to where we are culturally, with this new wave of equity and inclusion happening now. I connected with it because my life and identity are currently filled with a lot of boxes and titles and expectations, from motherhood to entering my 40s to being co-CEO. It has helped remind me that the best way I can move through the world is by doing it my own way, by being my most natural self, and trusting my deepest intuition to guide me.
