Welcome to One Minute Book Review - 'the show that brings books to life' On the show I breakdown the books I have read and reviewed. Each month I release a monthly podcast going into more depth on the books I have reviewed.
What's your relationship with failure like? Do you accept it as part of the process of progression or does it debilitate you? This a question many of us ask ourselves when we inevitably encounter failure. We either use it as a learning opportunity or we become entrenched in our ways of thinking blaming everyone else for the failure.
I had heard so much about this book that I almost felt obliged to read it. As you can tell from the amount of highlights in this post, the book wasn't my cup of tea. (British slang) ☕️ The book focuses on how we can become more open with how we engage with our colleagues at work. It defines the differences between armoured and daring leadership for us to put into practise. The main issue I had with the book is it wasn't saying anything original. This is partly due to the subject matter not being revolutionary and my experience with reading around this topic. But I felt the points weren't expressed in a way that suited my liking.
Grit is one of those books that make you self-aware of your own resilience as well as give practical tips for how you can increase your own grit using practical tools. Thank you for listening.

Is there a place for love in business? We have been conditioned to believe that love does not have a place in business. Love is reserved solely for our personal relationships. But why can this not be extended into the business world? This is what ‘Love Is Just Damn Good Business' by @steve.farber examines. Using Steve's LEAP framework (Love, Energy, Audacity and Proof) we are better able to understand why love rules above the rest. The book is full of practical examples about how we can increase our self-awareness of not only how we define love but also how to create this for ourselves. The book makes us recondition how we define love in the business world. To care for your staff, customers and the community is to love your business as well as value its ability to make money. For the individual it is asking how they want to fulfil their potential. It starts with asking the right questions. Rather than asking, “What's my passion?” ask “What gives me purpose?”. This slight change in phraseology has a huge impact on our ability to cultivate our passion. Why I like this book is because it affirms a pre-existing idea that I subscribe to. That idea is that passions aren't found they are created. Only through diligent and persistent action can you cultivate a passion that lasts. Most people sit back and wait for their passions to find them, however often it is due to a lack of action that they cannot find it. I would say that the ideal reader for this book is a business leader or an ambitious employee. Whether you run a large corporate organisation, a small start-up or you just entered the job market, having an awareness of how love ( I prefer the use of kindness) determines the longevity of business is crucial. This book also has similarities to ‘The Thank You Economy' by @garyvee, so I would definitely check out that book as well if you're interested in this topic. Comment below if you believe love has a place in the business world? Thank you for watching this video. If you would like to join the #OMBRClub for exclusive content such as our Weekly Newsletter.

Why do we think the way we do? Is our thinking determined by cultural and societal factors or are we true independent thinkers?
Sometimes you read a book and it changes your perspective this is one of those books.
When we think about defining our career it is easy to get confined by an existing structure. What if we could breakaway and start to design our own career? This is what this book is about. ‘The Squiggly Career' by {insert names} describes that by taking advantage of 5 key career skills, you can put yourself in a position to start designing your own career. These 5 are: 1️⃣ Super Strengths 2️⃣ Values 3️⃣ Confidence 4️⃣ Networks 5️⃣ Future Possibilities The book is interactive. When you read through the book there are exercises that provide supplementation to the ideas in the book and make you more involved in the reading process.

One of the most unique books I have read. Makes you think about more unique ways we can go about challenging ourselves in daily life. We become too complacent sometimes with the path that we choose and it is sometimes necessary to break this and do something different. This book will help you do that. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message

Mark Manson's second book that explores the idea around struggle and hope. I think this book is a bit repetitive with his first book, but good for individuals who are beginners. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message

Who has read any marketing books? I finished reading the ‘22 Immutable Laws of Marketing' today. It was not a long book at all (132 pages) but gave a good indication about what makes a good marketing strategy.

Hello and welcome to One Minute Book review, the show that brings books to life, I am your host Aun Abdi. Today I will be reviewing 'Can't Hurt Me' by David Goggins. An honest, insightful and at times shocking self-assessment of his own life. David Goggins gives a brief account of how he became a Navy Seal, Army Ranger and Ultra-Athlete. In the book, David provides a full explanation of the obstacles he had to overcome and mental fortitude he needed to reach his goals at every step of the way. The author details his early life explaining the harsh realities of Seal training while not holding back in defining what it takes to be the best version of yourself. The honesty and openness are what I enjoyed about this book the most. It would have been easy for the author to list all of his achievements without detailing the hardships, but in showing his vulnerability, it makes the book more captivating and makes the reader more engaged. I would encourage all to listen to the audiobook as it provides a different perspective that the written book cannot — a great read. This has been One Minute Book Review, thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message
Today I will be reviewing 'Maps of Meaning' by Jordan B. Peterson. Deriving meaning from the world around us is what enables us to live the life that we choose. In this book, Peterson explores how we have formulated maps during our existence to create meaning. The central proponent of the book is that myth creates an action which creates a language which we can then derive meaning. The author focuses heavily on the power of ancient myth in exploring how we have obtained meaning in the past. An in-depth exploration of the Mesopotamian derivation of how myth constituted the formation civilisations where our actions could accurately define the world around us, is explained in this book. The book is complicated and requires the full attention of the reader. It is full of complicated concepts that will need re-reading at times. However, if you want to explore the power of how we create meaning from the past as well as the world around us, I suggest you read this book. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/oneminutebookreview/message
