BOOK REPORTS: Essentialism by Greg McKeown
It’s safe to say we’ve all had seasons in our lives where maybe we’ve felt busy but not productive. Or maybe overwhelmed by all we’re doing or that is expected of us, while feeling that our true talent and potential goes unutilized. Greg McKeown tackles these conundrums by helping us master the “disciplined pursuit of less.”"Essentialism" by Greg McKeown: https://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-Disciplined-Pursuit-Greg-McKeown/dp/0804137404/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1CONNECT WITH THRIVALIST:Website: http://thrivalistcollective.com/Get The Thrivalist Handbook: http://thethrivalisthandbook.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

BOOK REPORTS: The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday
Today we get into another banger (can we use that word for books?). Ryan Holiday’s "The Obstacle is the Way" shows us how to flip obstacles into opportunities.

BOOK REPORTS: Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Are you interested in refining your communication? At home. At work. With a spouse or partner. We tend to fall into the trap of making demands rather than requests. Marshall Rosenberg gives us an integration of four things that predicate nonviolent communication: Consciousness, Language, Communication, and Means of Influence. Join us today as we dig into the art of making the request."Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall B.
