This is a phenomenal book. This is a must-read if you have any relationships at any level with any other humans. A lot of the concepts are common sense, but that’s the beauty of it: we already KNOW all of these things, we just need to be reminded of the best way to bring them all together. Yes, these techniques have been adopted by con-artists and slimy salespeople, but we trust that you’ll use them for good, not evil. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This agreements guide our behaviour - they act as an internal compass by which we decide what we do and don't do. But we never CHOSE these agreements. This book presents us with four agreements that we should make with ourselves in order to live a good life. Replacing our old agreements with these new four won't be easy, but it may be an important personal shift you can make. Hosted on Acast.

12 Rules For Life

The Easy Way to Stop Smoking - by Allen Carr Most books and programs about quitting smoking focus on all of the negatives of continuing to smoke: the extreme health risks, the obscene financial cost, and so on. But the problem is - that doesn't work! Smokers already know the health risks, but that didn't make them stop. The other problem is it talks about 'giving up' smoking and you're always feeling like you're sacrificing something. Instead, Allen Carr speaks from the smokers side, as someone who smoked for 33 years and found it hard to quit. He eliminates any excuses a smoker will give for continue to smoke, and then highlights the benefits of 'escaping' from the slavery of the cigarette. Adam Jones's favourite and most impactful book.  Hosted on Acast.

Tom Peters

We spoke to Tom Peters, the father of the modern business book. Before 'In Search of Excellence' in 1982, most business information was contained textbooks or academic journals. But thankfully, engaging and insightful information is now available and digestible for everyone. Tom Peters just released a brand new book: 'The Excellence Dividend'. The message is the same as many of his previous works, because most big companies STILL haven't got the idea. 'People First' is Peters's key to success - the only way to get a thriving, growing organisation is to focus on people.Check out Tom and his books at http://tompeters.com/  Hosted on Acast.

Talking to Strangers - by Malcolm Gladwell'What we should know about the people we don't know' We think we can understand people. We think that by meeting someone, shaking their hand, looking into their eyes, we can get a grasp on who they are, how they feel, and what their motives or intentions are. We think that a little bit of personal knowledge gives us a big insight into their character - a job interviews shows us if they'll be a good employee, a first date can indicate the likelihood of compatibility.We're wrong. Strangers are complex. In Malcolm Gladwell's brand new book, he highlights just a few of the things that make strangers particularly hard to understand: Truth Default Theory, Transparency, Coupling.

Who Moved My Cheese? - by Dr Spencer Johnson 'An A-maze-ing way to deal with change in your work and your life'   This book was awarded Amazon's best selling book of all time and has sold over 26 million copies worldwide. It's a parable about two mice and two people searching for Cheese in a Maze. 'Cheese' represents the things we want in life and the things that make us happy, and the 'Maze' is when we're trying to find exactly what it is that we want. The book is a little cheesy (excuse the pun), but the messages are widely applicable. Everyone faces change, be that in their job, their relationships, their health or their financial situation, so everyone needs to be prepared to accept change, expect change, take control and move on. It's a very short and simple book, definitely worth the read.  Grab a copy here:  http://www.bookdepository.com/Who-Moved-My-Cheese-Spencer-Johnson/9780091816971/?a_aid=adamsbooks   Enjoying the show?
