One Minute Book Review

What’s your relationship with failure like? Do you accept it as part of the process of progression or does it debilitate you? This a question many of us ask ourselves when we inevitably encounter failure. We either use it as a learning opportunity or we become entrenched in our ways of thinking blaming everyone else for the failure.

I had heard so much about this book that I almost felt obliged to read it. As you can tell from the amount of highlights in this post, the book wasn’t my cup of tea. (British slang) ☕️ The book focuses on how we can become more open with how we engage with our colleagues at work. It defines the differences between armoured and daring leadership for us to put into practise. The main issue I had with the book is it wasn’t saying anything original. This is partly due to the subject matter not being revolutionary and my experience with reading around this topic. But I felt the points weren’t expressed in a way that suited my liking.

Is there a place for love in business?  We have been conditioned to believe that love does not have a place in business. Love is reserved solely for our personal relationships. But why can this not be extended into the business world? This is what ‘Love Is Just Damn Good Business’ by @steve.farber examines.   Using Steve’s LEAP framework (Love, Energy, Audacity and Proof) we are better able to understand why love rules above the rest. The book is full of practical examples about how we can increase our self-awareness of not only how we define love but also how to create this for ourselves. The book makes us recondition how we define love in the business world. To care for your staff, customers and the community is to love your business as well as value its ability to make money. For the individual it is asking how they want to fulfil their potential. It starts with asking the right questions. Rather than asking, “What’s my passion?” ask “What gives me purpose?”. This slight change in phraseolog

Why do we think the way we do? Is our thinking determined by cultural and societal factors or are we true independent thinkers?

Sometimes you read a book and it changes your perspective this is one of those books.

When we think about defining our career it is easy to get confined by an existing structure. What if we could breakaway and start to design our own career? This is what this book is about.   ‘The Squiggly Career’ by {insert names} describes that by taking advantage of 5 key career skills, you can put yourself in a position to start designing your own career. These 5 are:  1️⃣ Super Strengths  2️⃣ Values  3️⃣ Confidence   4️⃣ Networks  5️⃣ Future Possibilities  The book is interactive. When you read through the book there are exercises that provide supplementation to the ideas in the book and make you more involved in the reading process.

One of the most unique books I have read. Makes you think about more unique ways we can go about challenging ourselves in daily life. We become too complacent sometimes with the path that we choose and it is sometimes necessary to break this and do something different. This book will help you do that. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message

'Reframe the Day' by Adam Lowenstein.  An interesting book with a new and fresh perspective on living a more fulfilling life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message

An interesting book that debunks the idea of the '10,000' hour rule. A research heavy book but one that will fascinate you if you are feeling behind the curve. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message

Mark Manson's second book that explores the idea around struggle and hope. I think this book is a bit repetitive with his first book, but good for individuals who are beginners. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message

I have mixed feelings about this book. A book that is interesting as a mix of books. But there are books that are singular that are better in their respective fields.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message
