If you prefer a bit more meat on the bone, then Anthony Robbins books, e.g. 'Unlimited Power' will deliver a feast.
I'm not saying David Taylor has brought something new to the party, just somethig smaller and wrapped up differently.
I smiled when I read the bulleted version of Abraham Lincoln's rise to being elected president, as I'd read it in Mr Robbin's book 'Unlimited Power'.
The subject of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is a big one, and I'm all for simplifying subjects so that the ordinary Joe can get their head around it. However, I think reducing it to just over 3 pages is at best a good intro into the subject, and at worst an over-simplication.
There are 51 chapters but a contents page is not provided - this would have been helpful. I had to constantly flick through the headings at the top of each page to navigate my way through the book.
I would suggest this a good entry-level book, it's written in an easy style and there are many short paragraphs that allow you to dip in and out at your leisure. There is more information on this subject of leadership and running your brain out there, just cast your net about.
Whether you look at this book from the 'traditional' Business angle or from a New Age perspective, I am sure you will find the answers you have been looking for. Laced with humour and a cutting-edge that will no doubt make David many enemies, this book is a must have for anybody! My thirteen year old son read it at the weekend and told me it was a good book 'really cool' and gives good tips on how to work out if his best mate is lying!!!
Many of us have knowledge of and experience in our chosen crafts and professions. We go on with the best intentions, doing what we think is the right, often without real direction and blissfully unaware of our effect on others. Few of us are taught how to define what we really want out of life and, very importantly, what we need to do both as individuals and in our relationships with others.
There are many 'self-improvement' books, seminars and systems on the market ranging from the impenetrable to the extra-terrestrial! And I've experienced a broad selection - I want to do and be the best I can. The Naked Leader shows us not only how to understand ourselves and what we really want, but also what we need to do to achieve it and how to work with other people who are crucial to us achieving what we can.
This book is down to earth, clear, logical and very practical. It neither preaches nor dictates and actively encourages challenge of proposed ideas. It poses key questions that the reader only can ponder and answer.
Another small but crucial eleemnt is that he style of presentation is very culturally relevant to us in the UK, being written in a familiar style and in tune with our social mores (not that it's only for us in the UK by any means).
I will strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to achieve their real potential and develop fruitful working (and personal) relationships, But remember, in the end it's you and not the book that has to do the work!
What very soon disturbed me were the many put downs of managers and consultants the author had come across. Read more
