Dream More: Celebrate the Dreamer in You by Dolly Parton

emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

5.0

Dolly Parton is a national treasure. 

This charming little book is an extension of a commencement speech she gave and it’s only a teeny tiny glimpse into her incredible life. Even if you aren’t a country music fan, Dolly shares anecdotes that are short and to the point: dream more, learn more, care more, be more. 

Read (and sung) by Dolly herself, the 1.5 hour audiobook will surely put some extra pep in your step! I absolutely adored hearing her talk about the importance of reading, how her father’s inability to read or write motivated her to start the Imagination Library, and her philanthropy. I look up to Dolly and loved listening to her discuss her favorite advice, giggle, tell jokes, and share her very own life lessons. What a joyful read! 

“Happiness is your commitment to appreciating all that is good in life, big and small. It's pretty easy to be happy when everything's going great. But life's not like that."
