The Diary Of A CEO by Steven Bartlett
Recommendation from a colleague. Steven kept to his promise of it not being a long winded book. Easy read. Finally read his book after listening to his podcasts for a while.
main takeaways:
- if you want someone to be receptive, never start your response with a disagreement.
- questions prompt a psychological reaction that is different from statements. questions are a better form of call to action.
- to overcome a habit, do not fight against it. replace it with a positive loop instead.
- small wins are compact, tangible, upbeat, and non controversial. don’t underestimate the power of small wins.
fav quotes:
There is no greater form of gratitude than taking care of yourself.
It’s nearly always cheaper, easier and more effective to invest in perception than reality.
4.5/5 good pick up
