Drive by Daniel H. Pink
The book “Drive” by Daniel H.Pink is quite a book. It covers the topic of what motivation and uncovers some surprising truths surrounding incentives and how these often have the opposite desired effect. A great read with many lessons that can be applied to your life and your business.
Perhaps they should apply some of this books teachings to the banking sector as a whole – or rather this sector is the exception that proves the rule.

Crush it! by Gary Vey-ner-chuk
“Crush it!” by Gary Vey-ner-chuk is simply a great book. Having finished reading I realised much more about listening to my passions and actually pushing ahead with them.
This book describes the cornerstone of sound financial advice with a tale to help associate it with reality.
That I had many passions that I really wasn’t there are lots of opportunities being missed by not engaging in blogging and social media in general.

ReWork by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hannson
Todays book I have chosen is a book called “ReWork” by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hannson. I found this book to give great insight into starting, running and managing your own business. Jason is one of the founders of 37Signals, a leader software company who focus on SaaS delivered applications. They created applications like BaseCamp & Highrise. Jason is a recognised leader and innovator so is well positioned to write about his experiences and opinions.

The Richest Man in Babylon by George Samuel Clason
This book describes the cornerstone of sound financial advice with a tale to help associate it with reality.
I learnt a lot from this book and wish I had read the book when I was just a child. It has made me realise that educating each generation with the woes of this book would set the foundations of great financial stability for the future irrespective of that childs chosen path.

The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferris
Todays book is “The Four Hour Body” by Tim Ferris. It is a great book. I have been reading it on and off for a few months. It has resulted in me following a few of the chapters “biblically”.
Having adopted some of the advised workout programs, based on four hours a month, I have noticed a huge difference in my personal fitness and energy levels. I have also particularly enjoyed the chapter about nutrition and that giving yourself one day per week when you can eat anything, (guilt free) can have an added benefit to your fitness development, all I can say it that it works. To learn more I can highly recommend this book, a very easy read that you can dip in and out of as you prefer.
Hope that you like todays suggested read.

The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki
Hi – todays read. Well I didn’t read it today but want to share this one as it was pivotal to my understanding of the world we live in today. The book is called “The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few by James Surowieki”
I read this book a number of years ago in actual fact it was one of those books that you start to read then stop for a period then pick it back up again. The moment I picked it back up – the book turned a corner and blew me away with the power of the message. The online world had moved on a good bit with Twitter less than a year old and Facebook, only three years old, having just crossed the 20 million user registrations. Now given that by the end of 2010 user numbers were in excess of 500m users, this is clearly the wisdom of crowds in action.
The book has helped me understand more clearly the psychology of what is happening in the world of social media and how just a little insight into this phenomenon can help your own business evolve by engaging, even in a small way, more with your customers and with social media tools.
