This isn’t one to ‘read’ necessarily, but Choose the Right Word by S.I. Hayakawa (I have the Second Edition, which lists Eugene Ehrlich as the revising editor on the front cover) is a great reference. This is not a thesaurus. It’s a little better, in my opinion. Choose the Right Word details the context in which each synonym listed for a word is used. I hope that last sentence made sense. Anyway, something to check out for anyone not familiar with it.
By the way, I’m just starting today, but this looks to be a great course and, hopefully, a great start to a new career for me.

I have found James Clear to be very helpful. He has a book called Atomic Habits and a site: jamesclear.com. He writes about the power of small habits and incremental improvement to reach your goals.

Thanks for these recommendations! I will definitely check them out. I am currently reading Hey Whipple, Squeeze This by Luke Sullivan, and think it’s a fascinating look at the creative process in the advertising industry. Really well written, too.
