Book 5: What You Think of Me Is None of My Business by Terry Cole-Whittaker

📚 #SaturdayShelfie (on a Sunday!): Book 5 – What You Think of Me Is None of My Business by Terry Cole-Whittaker

I know today isn’t Saturday, but better late than never!

Today’s title is interesting. I don’t know what was going on in the author’s mind and life when they chose it, but I can relate. Lately, I’ve found myself caring less about what people think of me—and honestly, it’s freeing.

It reminds me of the old fable about the man, his son, and their donkey heading to the market. Along the way, people kept giving them advice:
• “Why isn’t the boy riding?”
• “Why isn’t the old man riding?”
• “Why not both ride?”
• “How cruel to overburden the donkey!”

Trying to please everyone, they kept changing what they were doing—until, in the end, they lost the donkey altogether.

This book is a reminder that you can’t live your life based on what others think—because no matter what you do, someone will always have an opinion. It teaches us to trust ourselves, stop seeking approval, and focus on what truly matters.

Why should you read this book?
✔️ To stop worrying about what others think.
✔️ To break free from self-doubt and fear.
✔️ To live for yourself, not for other people’s approval.

At the end of the day, you can’t please everyone—so why not focus on pleasing yourself?

So, that’s my read for this week. What are you reading this week? Post your #Shelfie, tag me, and use #SaturdayShelfie.
