Book of the Month: Stoic Wisdom
As every month in 2016 I am sharing with you some books I like and think improve my life, understanding or view of the world. This month it’s A Guide to a Good Life, by William B Irvine. It’s a simple and easy to read summary of what Stoicism is all about. Stoicism is a…
LEADERS ARE READERS: Book of the Month – How to Win Friends & Influence People
My book this month comes from the early part of the 20th century but is still a classic – selling over 10 million copies. It’s Dale Carnegie’s – How to Win Friends and Influence People. It’s title can sometimes rub people up the wrong way but it’s such a popular phrase now and it’s part…
BOOK OF THE MONTH: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever?
This month’s book of the month also details what could be the most important health discovery ever. It’s called Earthing, by Clint Ober. I first read it a couple of years ago and the idea fascinated me. It’s about Earthing (or Grounding, as it’s also known). The idea being that we can get many…
Leaders Are Readers: Book of the Month – JULY
This month’s book of the month for the “Leaders Are Readers” series is one I’m am always hesitant to recommend. Why? Because it’s such a profound and life changing book if you read it as it was meant to be read! What does that mean and what is the book? It’s called The Greatest Salesman…
Leaders Are Readers: June Book of the Month
All leaders are readers. Well, maybe not all. But many of the best ones certainly are in my experience. And this month I want to share with you a book that may have been a little controversial at the time. Or certainly the topic was controversial when the author was first presenting it (many years…
LEADERS ARE READERS: Book of the Month – May 2016
This month I suggest to you one of my most favourite books of recent times – perhaps of all time. It’s a tale of illness and frustration. Loss and regain. Overcoming the odds and succeeding. I call this post LEADERS ARE READERS, because as leaders – whether or not you consider yourself one is another…
LEADERS ARE READERS: Book of the Month – April
This month’s book of the month is ‘Become a Key Person of Influence’ by Daniel Priestly. I read this book back in 2011 and it’s still a book that I give away to new entrepreneurs and professionals looking to become key people of influence (KPI’s) in their fields. It’s a short and simple book that…
Leaders are Readers: Book of the Month – March
This month, I continue the trend with giving you a book to look at which will be of use to you. As I mention time and time again, leaders are readers and also, to earn more you must learn more. With that in mind, this month’s book is called Bounce by Matthew Syed. Matthew is…
Leaders Are Readers: February Book of the Month
One thing I’ve learnt through all my personal and professional development is that learning never stops. I used to think that once I was done with university, that was it. I was a finished product! How wrong was I! Now, I realise that learning is an ongoing game and that the best leaders our there…
Book of the Month: January
I’m always being asked what I read. Truth is, that up until about 5 years ago, I probably only read between 2 – 4 books per year. Probably less in fact. Since university I hardly had read at all really (except when travelling for a couple of years). Then I realised (or rather re-discovered) the…
