Business Success Product Recommendations

First the disclaimer. I found these books fascinating. Opinions are like noses. Just about all of us have one. If one of these picks looks interesting, go for it. If one of them repels you, I challenge you to pick it up anyway - just because...

These books provide insights that you may or may not agree with. Whether you agree or disagree, your power to lead is enhanced when you understand another's point of view. I challenge you to find one thing from each of these reads - and then apply it. Be a scientist and observe whether or not the suggestion works for you. Like a book or not, there is value in reflecting on what triggered your response. If you're not into purchasing, I challenge you to peruse one of these books on your next visit to the bookstore. There are times when all you need is a sentence to trigger a new viewpoint. Enjoy!

 The 4 - Hour Workweek
Timothy Ferriss

Like it or hate it, this instant New York Times bestseller is a great read that will stretch your comfort zone and challenge your life.

Ferris is living proof that setting an intention to do something, followed by meaningful action, will produce amazing results: including a great life-style and a level of freedom most folks only dream about.

 Blink
Malcolm Gladwell

Some folks panned it, I loved it. Malcolm Gladwell has the courage to talk about something beyond logic - the power available to us when we get our mind out of the way. Neuro-science and psychology meets mysticism. The result is a quantum leap in how you look at logic and intuition. Yes, there can be a happy marriage between the two.


Lin's suggestions for Wealth Building

Books About Relationship

 Radical Knowing
Christian de Quincey

This is a radical book about relationship and consciousness. Outstanding leaders are connected at deep levels. This amazing book bridges the gap between logic, science, history, intuition and human consciousness. That's for starters! The stories are eye-opening, especially about the collapse of a stone-age New Guinea tribe a week after post WW-II tourists visited. If you are in a relationship, and we all are, then this is an amazing look at relationships through the eyes of a philosopher. Fear not, we all have opinions, and what a great way to expand our ability to connect with ourselves and others. Fascinating, although not such a quick read.


Books About Health

 The Biology of Belief
Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.

Former medical professor and research scientist at Stanford, Bruce Lipton's research on cell biology brings great news for ordinary folk. No longer are we at the mercy of our DNA. Instead, research reveals what religion and indigenous cultures have shared for ages: our thoughts, both positive and negative, have the power to change our genes and DNA. The implications are amazing.


Books About Spirit

 Spiritual Warrior
John-Roger

As a former competitive martial artist, I found this practical book a thought-provoking look at how intention (goal setting) impeccability and ruthlessness are three keys to a life that works. Long before I read this little gem, I practiced those principles when I was a nationally ranked competitor. They aren't what you would think! While you may not agree with everything, there is something here for anyone who wants to up-level the playing field in the game of life.
