Enjoyed this book. Wished it were longer. The personal stories behind the historical events he covered were appreciated. The ending, poignant and on target regarding journalism, our country and democracy. You summed it up really well, Dan!

I loved this book and Tara's narration from beginning to end. it was just what I needed right now as I nurture the seedling of a big idea that is scary and exciting. The insights were light bulb moments and permission for self-compassion. The suggested exercises to bring the information forward in a way to allow me to create the changes and impacts I seek or spot on and small enough to feel doable. The Conclusion reinspired me about my own vision, as it perfectly aligned with Tara's and strengthened my confidence that my vision is not just mine, is necessary and inevitable, and that we went in are up to the task of transforming the old, dominantly masculine systems that are dividing us instead of uniting us.

Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.

So what I needed to hear to help me get out of my loop of being busy but not productive. well it's in a second time to take notes on important points and actions and then begin to implement cutting out the non-essential and focusing on what really matters.

In a world inundated with sales books on getting to yes, this audiobook recommends just the opposite, focusing on how increasing your failure rate can greatly accelerate your movement toward ultimate success. Go for No! chronicles four days in the life of fictional character Eric Bratton, a call-reluctant copier salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself in a strange house with no idea of how he got there.

I didn't realize how much the fear of hearing a no (or perceiving a no) was ruling and ruining my business! So many light bulb moments in this book for me. I have a new attitude, strategy, and commitment to go for no's more than yeses in my prospecting.

On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise - that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.
