Recommended Reading

One of the best things we can do for our business is to constantly keep up to date with information.  And I don't just mean information related to "Business Topics".  "Creativity Strives", when we are able to access seemingly totally unrelated items and merge them into something new.  I call this "Accessing our Un-Conscious Competency" Data Base...  and one of the Best Ways to do this is by "Reading".....  Reading books covering as many different topic's as possible.

Fortunately, I love to read..  and I am a "Speed Reader"...  this "Learned Skill" has allowed me to read many books just standing in the Book Store, waiting for a plane or having a cup of Coffee...  Speed Reading has really helped me over the years......  Now, I am able to read so much faster by using something called "Photo Reading" by Learning Strategies... 


There are many, many books that I still purchase for my collection...  I call these books my reference books..  books that contain information and special ideas, and by having these tools at my fingersipts I am always able to go back and "Re-Fresh" the idea's in my mind... 

In my CRM Tips for March 17, 2009, which I called "Learn to Swim with Sharks".  I spoke about two great books, which I again "Highly Recommend".  Here is a excerpt from this CRM Tips:

"Many years ago, before I went to Australia, I ran along side a gentleman from Minnesota in a half marathon race.  His name was Harvey McKay, of McKay Envelopes.... 

Harvey had just finished writing a book called.  Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive: Outsell, Outmanage, Outmotivate, and Outnegotiate Your Competition (Collins Business Essentials) Harvey Mackay , his next installment of a book had the interesting title called: Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt: Do What You Love, Love What You Do, and Deliver More Than You Promise Harvey MacKay 

I would recommend adding these titles to your library. They are both just as relevant today as they were some 18 years ago.

Both of these books were a collection of business short stories, Fables or Anecdotes, which conveyed a strong message related to business. 

Much of what Harvey wrote about, was related to building the "Relationship"...  He often said the most powerful, tool a businessperson has is their "Rolodex"... "

Also take the time to Check this section of our website often for books recommended by myself and my friends. You can click the links to purchase the books through Amazon.com.

 

The Shack   The Shack

By William Paul Young

This book is one book that I recommend highly. 

This book was recommended to me by a friend.  They found that story line and message had a profound positive impact on them.  I was curious so I ordered the book..  and was immediately taken by the message and story line.  Although I "Speed Read"...  I found that I went back over parts of this book to fully digest and meditate on the message contained. 


Theory U: Leading from the Future as it Emerges by C. Otto Scharmer

 
by Dr. C. Otto Scharmer 

In this ground-breaking book, Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world in new ways. Fundamental problems, as Einstein once noted, cannot be solved at the same level of thought that created them. What we pay attention to, and how we pay attention - both individually and collectively - is key to what we create. What often prevents us from attending is what Scharmer calls our blind spot, the inner place from which each of us operates. Learning to become aware of our blind spot is critical to bringing forth the profound systemic changes so needed in business and society today.

Dr. C. Otto Scharmer is a Senior Lecturer at MIT and the founding chair of ELIAS (Emerging Leaders Innovate Across Sectors), a program linking twenty leading global institutions from business, government, and civil society in order to prototype profound system innovations for a more sustainable world. He holds a Ph.D. in economics and management from Witten-Herdecke University, Germany. 

 


How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work: Seven Languages for Transformation by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey

How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work: Seven Languages for Transformation
 
by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey 

In How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work: Seven Languages for Transformation,Harvard Graduate School of Education psychologists Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey explain that most individuals and organizations are actually immune to deep and lasting change in spite of their best intentions to the contrary. If we want a more adequate understanding of the prospect of change, Kegan and Lahey suggest, we must first understand our own powerful inclination not to change.

Robert Kegan, Ph.D., is the William and Miriam Meehan Professor of Adult Learning and Professional Development at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Additionally he is the Educational Chair for the Institute for Management and Leadership in Education and the Co-director for the Change Leadership Group. Kegan is a developmental psychologist and the author of numerous books, including his most well-known work The Evolving Self (1982) and In Over Our Heads: the Mental Demands of Modern Life (1994).

Lisa Laskow Lahey, Ed.D., is research director of the Change Leadership Project at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. She earned her M.Ed. and Ed.D. in human development from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Based on cutting-edge research and knowledge from the world's leading experts in the fields of positive psychology and neurophysiology, plus interviews with 100 truly happy people, this life-changing book provides a powerful, proven 7-step program that will enable you to be happier right now -- no matter where you start.

Qigong in Psychotherapy -- You can do so much by doing so little  by Patrick Dougherty

Qigong in Psychotherapy: You can do so much by doing so little

by Patrick Dougherty

Recommendation from Learning Strategies 

A student of Master Chunyi Lin and Spring Forest Qigong since 1995, psychologist and qigong teacher Patrick Dougherty shows the reader simple, powerful ways to integrate elements of Taoist philosophy and Chinese medicine into Western mental health practices. From teaching simple mind/body techniques, such as focused breathing and imagery, to explaining how the energetic world we live in affects our emotional and psychological health, Dougherty shows us how to quickly and easily enhance our well being. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this book is its emphasis on our fundamental interconnectedness, and how following the practices in this book can lead to a more open-hearted engagement with the world.

Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculee Ilibagiza

Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

by Immaculee Ilibagiza 

You may have seen this incredible story 
highlighted on one of the major television networks.

Miraculously, a brave and remarkable woman - Immaculée Ilibagiza - survived the slaughter by finding shelter in the confines of a small bathroom, where she remained for 91 days with 7 other women.

By the grace of God, Immaculée was left to tell her triumphant story about faith, forgiveness, and endurance during one of modern time's most horrific events.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Immaculée's book Left to Tell will be donated to the Left to Tell Charitable Fund. Remembering the many orphaned children left behind from the Rwandan tragedy, Immaculée recently established this fund to help the children of Africa build new lives.

This fascinating book clearly shows that creating a life that matters is not a pipe-dream. It will show you little-known—but very doable—ways of thinking and acting that will allow you to create a successful and fulfilling life.

The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles by Bruce H. Lipton

The Biology Of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles

By Bruce H. Lipton

The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of New Biology. Author Dr. Bruce Lipton is a former medical school professor and research scientist. His experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, have examined in great detail the processes by which cells receive information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.

Dr. Lipton's profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.


The Grace of Ordinary Days by Kay Saunders and Bernie Saunders

The Grace of Ordinary Days

by Kay Saunders and Bernie Saunders 

This is one of Bernie Saunders latest project: "The Grace of Ordinary Days," It incorporates more of the same heart-stirring photos, unfolding for us the wisdom between mother and son.

"The Grace of Ordinary Days is a rare glimpse into the lives of a mother and son, Kay and Bernie Saunders. The book combines their art of poetry and photography, but more important, unites the art of their sixty-year relationship. Together they discover that it is never too late to have a courageous conversation, and in doing so, find unsaid love, understanding, and forgiveness. The beauty and riches found in this book at the culmination of their truth."

By Dr. Sidney J. Parnes

Recommended by Win Wenger and Learning Strategies

A monumental work, and absolute must for any serious student or practitioner of creativity. For more than fifty years, arguments and issues have flowed through the pages of the peer journal, the Journal of Creative Behavior. The person who has sorted this all out and made it an intelligible package is none other than the Parnes side of the Osborn-Parnes CPS (Creative Problem-Solving) Method which launched the world-wide creativity revolution more than a half-century ago. This entire while, Sid Parnes has remained at the very top of his field, has lived his creative practices, and continues to work at the forefront of the creativity movement.

Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszemtmihlyi

Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

By Mihaly Csikszemtmihlyi

A Personal Recommendation....  I read this book over 18 years ago.. Still as valid now as then...

"For more than two decades Mihaly Csikszemtmihlyi has been studying states of "optimal experience" –those times when people repost feelings of concentration and deep enjoyment. These investigations have revealed that what makes experience genuinely satisfying is a state of consciousness called flow–a state of concentration so focused that it amounts to absolute absorption in an activity...Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience reveals how this pleasurable state can, in fact, be controlled, and not just left to chance, by setting ourselves challenges–tasks that are neither too difficult nor too simple for our abilities. With such goals, we learn to order the information the enters consciousness and thereby improve the quality of our lives." -From back cover


The Resiliency Advantage: Master Change, Thrive Under Pressure, and Bounce Back From Setbacks by Al Siebert, PhD

The Resiliency Advantage: Master Change, Thrive Under Pressure, and Bounce Back From Setbacks

by Al Siebert, PhD

Psychologist and presenter Al Siebert, PhD, recently published his newest book titled, The Resiliency Advantage: Master Change, Thrive Under Pressure, and Bounce Back From Setbacks. His first book, the bestselling The Survivor Personality, introduced his model for mental health and featured “resiliency” as a core human skill. 

I’ve been a fan of Al’s since the mid 1980s and privileged to have worked with him to publish the audio personal learning course, “Resiliency: The Power to Bouce Back.” It is clear to me that the personality trait of being highly resilient to disruptive change couldn’t possibly be more timely in this age of so much worldly turmoil. 

Dr. Siebert does a lovely job of presenting how to develop five levels of resiliency skills. He illustrates all his points with clear, relevant examples. A major bonus comes through his rich history of 30 years working with clients and documenting their experiences. The pages are alive with energy that will give an immediate advantage to any reader.

Copyrighted in 2005 by Al Siebert, PhD. Published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc. San Francisco, CA.

The Future of the Body: Explorations into the Further Evolution of Human Nature by Michael Murphy

The Future of the Body: Explorations into the Further Evolution of Human Nature

by Michael Murphy

Excellent Book, I also recommend it highly... It was originally suggested to me by Paul Sheele of Learning Strategies.

Here is what Paul, has to say about this book. 

Michael Murphy is co-founder and Chairman of Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. For thirty years he has been a potent force in the human potential movement. In his book he provides a massive tome of impressive evidence for the extraordinary powers of the human mind/body. Murphy beautifully catalogs “metanormal capacities,” offering rich scientific support for our transformative abilities. He cites studies in biofeedback, psychotherapy, sports, martial arts, religion, meditation, spiritual healing, and more.

I've always loved telling tales of amazing human potentials and offering strategies on how to achieve them, so this book is a real treat for me. Anyone interested in developing human potential and justifying their efforts to skeptical loved ones, should read and reference this book. Murphy offers straightforward explanations on the bases and elements of transformative practices. Then, to top it all off, he gives us a complete set of "integral practices" to discover our own higher powers.


The Solutions Focus: The SIMPLE Way to Positive Change by Paul Z. Jackson and Mark McKergow

The Solutions Focus: The SIMPLE Way to Positive Change

by Paul Z. Jackson and Mark McKergow

The idea really is simple: identify what works and do more of it, and stop doing what does not work and do something different. By taking a solution-focused approach to problems instead of focusing on the problem, you move toward your desired future and toward the solution. In essence, there are no problems. Analyzing, talking about, and reacting to problems, is the worst way to solve them! Realize that every “problem” is different and therefore each requires a unique approach to changing it. Once you do, you take your power back. Use the SIMPLE approach in your organization, office team, and any area of your personal life.


Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want by Bobbie R. Stevens, Ph.D.

Unlimited Futures: How to Understand the Life You Have and Create the Life You Want

by Bobbie R. Stevens, Ph.D.

With this book, let Bobbie Stevens be your personal consultant to create whatever you want: optimal health, an ideal partner, to understand the meaning of life... Because our self-defeating habits and our negative thoughts and beliefs often get in the way of what we want, we need to change the way we think about beliefs. And, about self-improvement. Beliefs are only information we have accepted. Bobbie Stevens shows how she created relationships, found herself a mate, how she created business success, and a lifestyle she truly enjoys. She shares step-by-step guidelines, which are practical and powerful, teaching what it means to become self-actualized, ultimately discovering the ability within to fulfill our needs and desires.


The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

by Eckhart Tolle

Great book, made NOW, by Oprah's recommendation.

One of our biggest problems is our constant need to analyze; we think about our past and the future, all of our problems and our pain. What if a problem is just an illusion, a label we allow our minds to attach to a certain situation? What if instead of thinking about what might happen, we let go of time and notice only what is going on in the present moment? The author believes that we would attain enlightenment. The idea appeared suddenly for him when he awoke one night, and though the realization may not come to us this way, his message is simple and inspiring. Even while doing our meditations, practicing yoga or relaxation exercises, we are constantly looking for peace, but we find true happiness when we stop searching for it, because happiness is now.

The Sedona Method: Your Key to Lasting Happiness, Success, Peace and Emotional Well-being by Hale Dwoskin

The Sedona Method: Your Key to Lasting Happiness, Success, Peace and Emotional Well-being

by Hale Dwoskin

I have personally been using The Sedona Method for 10 years...Another one on my self...

The Sedona Method is finally available in book form! Since the 1970s personal friends have raved about the emotionally freeing results they've received from doing the Sedona Method. And then, since the 1990s when Hale Dwoskin began offering classes in the Sedona Method, clients of Learning Strategies began telling us about their successes--so much so that we asked Hale to do a special program as part of our Euphoria Personal Learning Course. The Sedona Method teaches a simple way to be free from any emotion that may be barring your success. In the book Hale tells you how to use the method systematically on any challenge you have in your life, whether in learning, career, relationships, or health.


Loving What Is : Four Questions that Can Change Your Life by Byron Katie

Loving What Is : Four Questions that Can Change Your Life

by Byron Katie

This book was Recommended by Paul Scheele, Learning Strategies

Here is what Paul has to say about this book

Byron Katie (a woman who goes by the name Katie) reveals the details and use of her amazing process known simply as "The Work." I first encountered Katie in a weekend workshop at Omega Institute in upstate New York three years ago. Her long awaited book is much better than I had anticipated. Along with her husband and previously published co-author Stephen Mitchell, Katie has crafted a beautiful description of her powerful human development breakthrough. 

The book contains more than clear instructions for how to bring The Work alive in your own life. You also see it in action with transcripts of live stage-sessions with Katie. Each session seems more astounding than the next. Be forewarned; Loving What Is is not about self-improvement, but about finding the truth. I believe you will find, as I have, that "...the truth will set you free."

 The Mind Map Book: How to Use Radiant Thinking to Maximize Your Brain's Untapped Potential by Tony Buzan with Barry Buzan

The Mind Map Book: How to Use Radiant Thinking to Maximize Your Brain's Untapped Potential

by Tony Buzan with Barry Buzan

I started using "Mind Mapping" in the early 90's and it was Tony Buzan that articulated these strategies to me....  These concepts work well with Speed Reading and PhotoReading Concepts

 Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century by Howard Gardner

Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century

by Howard Gardner

Great Book...  It is all about how we view things..  and helps open the door as to how we view education and intelligence..  we learn on many levels....  Also great grounding for Accelerated Learning.

Whether you are familiar with his Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Howard Gardner will update you on the evolution of his theory; that rather than a single characteristic, intelligence has various components and is not easily tested without considering these distinct, multiple qualities of the mind. Presented initially in his 1983 book, Frames of Mind, Gardner follows how the theory has, and has not, been integrated into culture, education, and our perceptions of intelligence and IQ. He presents an overview of the theory and examines the myths that surround it. Gardner also proposes an additional intelligence to the original seven. He considers for example, moral, spiritual, existential, and naturalist factors, while he questions the common practice of one way to teach/one way to learn. For anyone interested in genuine learning and teaching, Intelligence Reframed is an eye-opener.

Ultimately, we can learn to turn any tragedy into something positive, for a happier and more promising future.


Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature Edited by Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams

Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature

edited by Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams

Excellent Book...  you can't view this page without the Nothingness of the Background available for the Words or Foreground.  Neither can exist without the other.  Knowing how to work with these aspects can be life changing.

This book has long been on my "most recommended" list for those interested in learning more about the shadow side of personality. But now I know it is a must-read for anyone involved with personal development (either on their own or helping others). 

We all pay a price for neglecting areas of our psyche that we would rather deny. Read the book and find out how to gain the riches of your mind, improve your psychological strength, and understand why people behave as they do.

Meeting The Shadow is filled with well-written and easily digested contributions from the most knowledgeable authors in the field of shadow-work. Although the subject is both deep and broad, the book covers it with remarkable thoroughness.



The Einstein Factor by Win Wenger

The Einstein Factor

by Win Wenger

For many years I have included in my programs, the concept that we are "ALL GENIUSES"...  we can learn to use our minds in a different manner and we literally BEcome the GENUIS..

New research suggests that the superior achievements of famous thinkers may have been more the result of mental conditioning than genetic superiority. Now you can learn to condition your mind in the same way and improve your performance in virtually all aspects of mental ability, including memory, quickness, IQ, and learning capacity.


Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings by Lynn Grabhorn

Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings

by Lynn Grabhorn


The law of attraction puts whatever you think about into your life, so you have to be careful what you put in your mind and how you feel about it. The distinction between negative wants (I don't want to be poor) and positive wants (I want enough money to do what I want in life) is difficult for most people, but the author makes it abundantly clear with great personal examples and a lot of enthusiasm. We can choose how we frame things and thus control the vibrations we send out to the world. Her strong emotions will be too much for some listeners, but she's genuine, and the ideas will grab you no matter how you feel about the reading.
