Book review

My excellent web designer recommended “The Art of Resilience: Strategies for an Unbreakable Mind and Body”. A tale of a man who swam around the whole of England. The lessons he learned. He calls it stoic sports science. Mindset, training, food. An extreme version of “Move, eat, sleep”. A sports philosophy forged in battle. Based […]

“Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More” is a challenging book to explain. Keep saying “I love you.” “I’m sorry.” “Please forgive me.” “Thank you.” It will change your life. The entire world is your creation Everything in your life, simply because it is in your life is your responsibility.

I am a huge fan of Vishen Lakhiani. His book “The code of the extraordinary mind” changed my life. It has changed the lives of other people I recommended the book to. I was looking forward to “The Buddha and the Badass: The Secret Spiritual Art of Succeeding at Work”. I do not think it

I am a huge fan of Deepak. His 21-day mediation courses are superb. Decided to pick up “Metahuman: Unleashing your infinite potential”. A version of “Inner engineering, a yogi’s guide to joy“. There is a quote in the book “Do you know why all electrons have the same charge and the same mass.” “Why?” “Because they

“Limitless” came highly recommended. A book that is full of tools to help you tackle digital deluge, digital distraction, digital dementia and ultimately digital deduction.

When you are in business, you need to develop a perspective on AI.

A book about AI. Consciousness When

Economists have a lot to answer for. You only have to read books such as “Zeronauts”, “Drawdown” and “Evolved Enterprise”, or watch “Planet of the humans”, to know that something is seriously amiss with the way we look at economics. That is why I am a fan of Buddhist Economics. The way we measure economic

Breathing is the new black. I am a huge fan of Nassim Taleb. He introduced me to the Lindy effect. Something that was true 3000 years ago is probably still valid 3000 years from now. That is why you should trust Chinese medicine over modern medicine. Including their perspective on breathing. Breath: The New Science

I love strategy. I think everything is strategy. My favourite book is “33 strategies of war”, but I am also a big fan of Kenichi Ohmae (found a paperback “The Mind of the Strategist” in my office recently), and I loved “Thriving on chaos” by Tom Peters. Long term thinking is a lost art I

I am a fan of both Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler. They are both original thinkers with some exciting perspectives. I was eagerly anticipating “The Future Is Faster Than You Think: How Converging Technologies Are Transforming Business, Industries, and Our Lives”. And it did not disappoint. I think this book should be compulsory reading for
