I listened to a great podcast this morning with Tim Ferris, author of Four Hour Workweek,
and Rolf Potts, author of Vagabonding.
Their discussion on the process of writing, writers themselves, the beginner's mindset
and how to be more creative, inspired me to write this post this morning and share with
you some of my favorite books. These books will transform your thinking and your life.
Check them out. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
The 4-Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss
How can you live the life you've always dreamed of? How about working less? Like, a lot
less? Ferriss shares with you how to redesign your lifestyle and do the things you really
want to do. He calls it a Muse. I call it "go time."
Delivering Happiness - Tony Hsieh
Vegas based company Zappos has a new breed of owner, Tony Hsieh. He is to Zappos
what Mark Cuban is to the Dallas Mavericks. Read this book and discover what customer
service should really be like.
What Should I do with my Life - Po Bronson
You'll read the stories of those who discovered their own passion and unique purpose in
life. Many are well off, others are still finding their way. Definitely recommended.
Inspiring.
Steve Jobs - Walter Issacson
Steve Jobs was much crazier than I imagined him to be. He had what many referred to as
the "Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field", meaning he'd distort reality until it became what
he wanted and needed at the present moment. True geniuses are often crazy, Jobs was
no exception.
on this momentum shift. Still using your logical, analytical left brain? That's okay, Pink
will show you how to be more creative.
DRiVE - Daniel Pink
In Pink's newest book, he picks up where A Whole New Mind left off. As our society
continues to move away from large corporations and towards more nimble, quick, artistic
businesses, the entire way we are managed changes. People are no longer simply
motivated by a pay check and health benefits. It will take far more than that to keep an
employee engaged, challenged, motivated and working hard.
The House Advantage - Jeffery Ma
Jeff Ma is the real life person behind Ben Mezrich's Bringing Down The House. In the
book, it is Kevin Lewis. In the movie 21, it is Ben Campbell. In real life, it's Jeff Ma. After
MIT and card counting, Ma took his math skills and started his own sports analytics
consulting business, where he provides data for the San Francisco 49ers and Portland
Trailblazers among other teams.
