Ive heard people talking and raving about this for years. Finally read it.and now I know why. Has anyone read it? How did you apply it to your life?

I know there is a dedicated app for the applying the philosophy of some books. There are a few for GTD.

What other books do you think would make a good app?

Just curious 🤔

I’m looking specifically for books (obviously non-fiction) that discuss the process in which the rights were lost. The society before and the changes/steps that lead them to this reality.

Hopefully this makes sense!! I just want to learn more about what the process of this downfall looks like. Thank you!

I posted this in another sub but thought I might get some different recommendations here. Looking for books to satisfy my itch for unhinged nonfiction

.

I've put together a mind map that aims to summarise the key learning points I had from the book Crucial Conversations: Tools For Talking When Stakes Are High. I hope this helps you!

I'm keen to learn how I can improve the structure of this mind map for my future summaries, so please give any suggestions you might have!

Disclaimer: obviously all of the ideas I laid out here are not my own, they belong to the authors of this book (Kerry Patterson, Stephen R. Covey, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler)

I just finished Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War. It was great but bloody hell it was a tough and depressing read. I won't spoil it, but no amount of prepping is going to save you if someone's mad enough to push the button.

I enjoyed it, in a way, but am now looking for something a bit more optimistic? Not only because I feel like I've been bludgeoned by the threat of nuclear apocalypse, but also because generally the world seems like a horrible place right now.

Any recommendations for something that'll leave me feeling hopeful for humanity?

With 2 weeks remaining from my new book Undisrupted releasing, I wanted to provide an overview of the challenge the book addresses, The challenge is "change in the present and our inability to forecast the future without using the right strategic foresight tools". Undisruptedis about how we as humans have always thrived because of disruptive ideas. From the days of archimedes to the current era of Artificial Intelligence, change has been a prevalent force for us to do better, make progress and achieve greatness. This is the reason why we have medications that treat measles, transport that hepps us travel from one corner of the world to the other, and now our ability explore space. The book is about human progress and how technology is changing the future. In specific areas such as Healthcare, Transportation, Education, Automotive and many others on a path of rapid change. The book covers what these changes are and what the next decade and more look like. The second part of the book is about how to become future ready and I introduce readers t the idea of the Futuer Readiness Score, a new metric that I created. I believe the book is a great read for anyone wants to know about where things are headed and how to combat this change. We also have some early readers copies available but generally the book is also available to be purchased from bookstores online.

I would love to hear from you about

• - How much of your current planning and thinking is about 10 to 15 year out ?
• - How are you measuring or understanding what skills, strategies you need to succeed 10 - 15 years from now
• - If you have a copy of the book, happy to hear your thoughts overall

Currently reading this and would file it under non fiction horror so far.

Hey Folks,

Curious for your thoughts on this idea....

Recently I was thinking of the idea of asynchronous book clubs. I have no idea if these exist but I thought it might be cool if they did.

My definition of an asynchronous book Club would be:

• Everyone starts and stops at the same time but you can read at your own pace.
• You can leave comments, audio and video that is connected to specific points in the book. So that when someone gets to a spot they can see what others in the club are thinking about it.
• At the end of the session there will be a live meetup to discuss the book.

Thoughts?

I was reading 17 Secrets to Transform Beliefs and Master Decisions last week, and I can confidently say it’s a game-changer! This book dives deep into how old beliefs shape every decision we make, often without us realizing it. What struck me most were the practical strategies—no fluff, just actionable steps to break free from limiting thoughts and create a mindset that fuels success.

Each chapter feels like a personal guide, challenging us to reflect on our habits and inspiring us to take charge of our lives. Whether we are entrepreneurs, professionals, or simply individuals looking to grow, this book meets us where we are and pushes us forward.

At just $2.99, it’s the best investment anyone can make in themselves. If you’re ready to unlock your potential and master your decisions, this book is a must-read.

I recently read the book “Talks It Over” by Robert Wood Johnson II, a key figure in the history of Johnson & Johnson.

Here’s what I learned:

Be Transparent Transparency is the cornerstone of any successful organization according to Robert Johnson. He argues that every employee, regardless of their position, should be informed about the business and should understand how their role contributes to the overall success of the company. Johnson mentions that "It makes no real difference whether one is an executive, a secretary, or a salesman; whether one runs a machine in the plant, works in an office, or serves as a member of the Board of Directors. He needs to know about the business—and the more he knows about every part of it, the more effectively he can do his work as a member of the team that keeps it in operation."

People Business Considering how much importance Robert Johnson puts into being transparent with his employees, it is not surprising that at the heart of Johnson’s philosophy is the belief that businesses are fundamentally about people. He believed that it was not the machinery, buildings, or products that made Johnson & Johnson successful, but the people. For Johnson, employees were not just workers; they were the very foundation of the company’s success. As a matter of fact, Johnson once said, "The real fact is that buildings, goods, and machinery are only things business employs in order to do its work. Business itself consists of human beings. They make all the physical things we have mentioned. More important, they form the organizations that turn goods, equipment, and so on, into useful, going concerns."

Service Capitalism Johnson was a pioneer for what he called “service capitalism”, a form of capitalism that prioritized the well-being of employees, customers, and the community. As a matter of fact, he believed that businesses had a responsibility to contribute positively to society and that profits should be earned through ethical practices. This concept of corporate responsibility was central to how Johnson ran his company.

“The first social duty of business is that of paying good wages. Good wages not only hire good workers; they mean well-being and prosperity for the community.” — Robert Johnson
