What You Will Learn

The Untethered Soul - by Michael A Singer 'The Journey Beyond Yourself'   Today, we're getting spiritual. This book talks about becoming free from limitations, soaring beyond your boundaries, finding inner peace and freedom, and learning to navigate your thoughts and emotions. We were perhaps a little out of our comfort zone on this one, but keep your heart open and don't close over on us - the path to unconditional happiness is here.   Grab a copy of The Untethered Soul here: https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Untethered-Soul-Michael--Singer/9781572245372/?a_aid=adamsbook   Enjoying the show?

Pamela Slim: Author of 'Escape from Cubicle Nation' and 'Body of Work'   Our previous episode summarised the biggest lessons from Pamela's book, Escape from Cubicle Nation, and today what got to speak with her to find out a little bit more of her journey and her advice for any 'corporate prisoners' who want to find their passion and escape.   Grab a copy of the book here: https://www.bookdepository.com/Escape-from-Cubicle-Nation-Pamel-Slim/9780425232842/?a_aid=adamsbooks   Enjoying the show?

Escape from Cubicle Nation - by Pamela Slim 'From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur'   The fancy titles and steady pay checks of a 'safe' corporate job aren't so safe anymore... And perhaps it doesn't make us that happy either. Pamela Slim's book presents ideas for becoming self-employed and how you can go about it, but also highlights a lot of the risks involved.    Grab a copy of the book here: https://www.bookdepository.com/Escape-from-Cubicle-Nation-Pamel-Slim/9780425232842/?a_aid=adamsbooks    Enjoying the show?

Stand and Deliver - by Dale Carnegie 'How to become a masterful communicator and public speaker'   Dale Carnegie, also the author of one of our favourite books How to Win Friends and Influence People, gives us a great toolkit to take and apply to our communication and public speaking. This book is based on his course, the same course that Warren Buffet referred to as the greatest investment he's ever made (and he's made some pretty good investments!). Some of the things we cover:  - what every listener really wants  - overcoming stage fright  - using humour effectively  - story telling  - making a positive first impression  - the Magic Formula Grab a copy of the books here: https://www.bookdepository.com/Stand-and-Deliver-Dale-Carnegie-Training/9780857206763/?a_aid=adamsbooks Enjoying the show?

Our interview with Nora Gedgaudas, the author of the book we reviewed last week, 'Primal Body, Primal Mind'. Check out the episode for a bit of background on this conversation. Nora is an expert on all things paleo and ketogenic. She certainly knows her stuff! We're by no means promoting the paleo diet, but it's worth hearing about so you can make your own judgements.    We spoke with Nora for almost an hour. But, given our regular interview episodes are around 30-40 minutes long, we didn't want to break your trust and whack in an hour-long episode. So, this is an edited version, but you can check out the full conversation in video form with the three of us on screen on this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/vFNT8pdMRDY Enjoying the show?

Today, what a lot of us tend to put in our bodies would hardly be recognized as food to our ancestors. Our modern diet has influenced our susceptability to diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis, metabolic syndrome, heart diseases and ADD - just to name a few. 'Primal Body, Primal Mind' shows us sustainable diet strategies to curb sugar cravings, promote fat burning and weight loss, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and moods, increase energy and immunity, and enhance memory and brain function. The paleo diet is based on our evolutionary biology into what we are today. 99.99% of our genes developed before agriculture. 'Primal Body, Primal Mind' combines your paleolithic needs with modern nutritional and medical research for complete mind - body wellness. The paleo diet, which suggests a high proportion of animal fats is controviersal to many people - but if you want to learn what the diet can do for you then this book is for you! Enjoying the show?

Our interview with Stephen Guise, author of 'Mini Habits' and 'How to Be an Imperfectionist'. Following on from our last episode, where we shared the best bits from the book 'Mini Habits', we spoke with author Stephen Guise. Stephen told us about the day of the 'Golden Pushup', the day in December 2012 when he accidentally discovered the power of 'mini habits'. He'd decided that he wanted to work out more, so he wanted to do a 30-minute session, but it was just too daunting and he couldn't work up the willpower or motivation to start. So instead, he decided to start with something so easy he couldn't NOT do it: one pushup. In this conversation, we discuss the power of Mini Habits, and we get into Stephen's more recent book 'How to Be an Imperfectionist'. He also explains the brain joke from his book (but we still don't get it...) Enjoying the show?

Mini Habits - by Stephen Guise 'Smaller Habits, Bigger Results'   Studies have shown that over 45% of our behaviours is dictated by our habits. This is because it's far easier and consumes far less energy to do the things we're used to, rather than trying to weigh up different options and make decisions. This book provides an extremely compelling argument for starting 'stupid small' habits that are too easy NOT to do until they become ingrained your your everyday way of life.  Grab a copy of the book here: https://www.bookdepository.com/Mini-Habits-Stephen-Guise/9781494882273/?a_aid=adamsbooks    Enjoying the show?

Rework - by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson 'Change the way that you work forever'   Rework is a collection of short chapters that will challenge the way you approach work and business. The authors tackle the conventional wisdom. Just because that's they way things have always been done doesn't mean that's the best way to do it. This book gives you a glimpse into a different way of thinking.   To check out our free live events later this month, head to www.whatyouwilllearn.com/events Enjoying the show?
