Lead More Like A Monk

This book surprised me with its poignancy. A summer read I stumbled upon (neatly apt as we travelled around Thailand on our 2023 summer break mingling amidst the plethora of orange clad holy ones). In it I unearthed earthly guidance not just relevant to spiritual growth, personal evolution and all the higher realm stuff, but professional impact too. Jay Shetty…

Silencing the Monkey Mind’s Nocturnal Swirls

A colleague just mentioned his sleepless night writing emails and pitch copy in his dreams. Can you relate to his turmoil? How often do nocturnal mental dances dominate your wee hours?

The Sober Decision. There isn’t sunshine at the bottom of that glass after all.

Why alcohol makes life so much harder and the book that changed my attitude to it forever. I’ve always been sober curious. So many in our industry are. Are you? I’ve devoured tomes on the topic of booze from biographies of famous sober idols (Rob Lowe my most indulgent guilty pleasure), to graphic and shocking analyses of high functioning alcoholics,…

The Impact of Angry Parenting on Young Souls. Don’t Do It.

It’s absolutely true and fair to acknowledge that sometimes our kids drive us up the wall. They bicker, they disobey, they are mischievous, they answer back, they are defiant.

As A Man Thinketh | James Allen

This is a beautiful, timeless, short and sweet bible of sorts.  Written in 1903, the teachings are as valid and profound today as they were ground breaking when first popularised. Allen is the pioneer of popularist personal development literature. There are some gems to take heed of like... Circumstance does not make the man. It reveals him to himself.’  Oh…

Awaken The Giant Within | Tony Robbins

A timeless classic. One of Tony Robbins’ earliest manuscripts I believe this to be the foundation of modern self help teachings. It’s based on NLP, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and builds on this with Tony’s own freshly termed form of curative therapy Neuro Associative Conditioning. NAC is based on some simple steps. Decide what you really want and what’s preventing you…
