130-  Top Recommended Books

Happy Holidays! I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas and  spending quality time with your loved ones.  Before we dive into recommended books by my guests, I would love to hear what traditions you do each year. The past 5 years, one of our family traditions has been making 300 lunches for the people at The Mustard Seed in Calgary. It’s an afternoon of quality time with our family. All of us in the kitchen laughing, a bit of banter after a few Christmas drinks but had fun at all.  I have posted a few pictures, so you can see all the carts of groceries required to make that many lunches. Head over to Maxumcorp.com.au/ Or you can also send a message and share your pictures on Inspiring Greatness Facebook page.

Amazon:  Blink, Malcolm Gladwell  Blinkist:  Blink, Malcolm Gladwell

Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?

This book is written so everyone -- from front line employees to senior executives -- can get aligned in contributing to the growth of a firm. There's no reason to do it alone, yet many top leaders feel like they are the ones dragging the rest of the organization up the S-curve of growth. The goal of this book is to help you turn what feels like an anchor into wind at your back -- creating a company where the team is engaged; the customers are doing your marketing; and everyone is making money.

Law of Attraction - Michael Losier

Have you noticed that sometimes what you need just falls into place? Perhaps you've met the perfect client or life partner merely by being at the right place at the right time. On the other hand, there are some people who find themselves in one terrible relationship after another or who seem unable to shake off their bad luck.  These experiences are evidence of a very powerful force. It's called the Law of Attraction, and right now it's attracting people, jobs, situations, and relationships to you.
