Book recommendation for the summer (one of the best books I’ve ever read!)
Srikumar Rao teaches a hugely popular course at both London and Columbia Business Schools. He helps his students define their personal ethics and goals, and how to reach them, and starts them on a journey that will last them a lifetime. Now, in this extraordinary book, Dr Rao’s unique approach is available to a far wider audience. Using his own unconventional methods, including exercises and lessons adapted from many traditions, he explains how to: work out who you are, and where you are going; find out how you really view the world; discover the joy of effortless action; sharpen your ability to focus; and, discover true freedom and happiness. “Are You Ready to Succeed?” is in a different league altogether from most business books already on offer. If you too would like to be in another league, this fresh, accessible and groundbreaking guide to a meaningful and successful life is the one for you.
Inspiration of the Week
Do what you love to do, and do it so well that those who come to see you do it will bring others to watch you do it again and again.
— Mark Victor Hansen
Listening
The commonest reason for losing a customer who seemedinterested is NOT LISTENING ENOUGH. If you don’t spend
enough time and concentration on that, you are going to
miss something that the guy is telling you without trying
to tell you. And that something probably has to do with
why he is afraid, why he is hesitating, and what you are
not doing to get him over the last hurdles. – Joe Girard
