Episode 18: Self-Help Books - Quality over Quantity
I love a good self-help book and we are not short of options. They improve productivity, help to form new habits and raise self awareness and leadership skills. But can we fall into the trap of reading too many of these books? I’m guilty of this: paperbacks, hardbacks and audio books. As soon as one is recommended, I feel the urge to pick it up, hoping I may learn a new tip or skill. At what point is this a status symbol on a bookshelf, soundbite in a conversation or an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and learn something new through action? Fredrik Samanta, a friend, former classmate and now coach in Zurich raises several great points - a good source of conversation and debate resulting in several insights I want to share with you. You may re-read a prized book on your shelf again before buying that next book. Feel free to listen, catch this on youtube or get in touch with Fredrik at www.fredriksamanta.com and myself with your questions or comments.
