Inspiring Books

📔 📙 📕 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲?

I'm sure, like myself, many of you have received some interesting new books as gifts over the festive period.

As always you've got to start somewhere, so I've decided to read a couple of classics first:

🐧 ❄ 🐧 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝑰𝒄𝒆𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 - an updated 10th anniversary edition telling a simple story about doing well under stress and the uncertainty of rapid change. A very on point fable about penguins having to deal with their home being devastated. It's completely relatable to business and is based on John Kotter's eight steps of change.

🏍 🛣 🏍 𝒁𝒆𝒏 & 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒚𝒄𝒍𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 - a 40th anniversary edition telling the story of a father and son's unforgettable motorcycle trip across America's Northwest. It's a modern classic about life, our existence, and the small essential triumphs that move us forward. I'm looking forward to re-experiencing this philosophical odyssey.

Here's a couple of reading quotes to finish on and inspire you to read those books you've just received:

👉“𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄.” - 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈

👉“𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌. 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌.” - 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒏 𝑳𝒆𝒃𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒛

👉“𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒚; 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆’𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆.” - 𝑴𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒎𝒂𝒏
