Books aren’t just objects. Books are agents of wonder as they expand my perspective on what is real, what is true, and what is possible.
Many clients, customers, audience members, and readers often ask me about the books that shape my world, so I offer here a glimpse into my reading journey —touching upon themes ranging from business strategies to personal well-being.
Many clients – leaders, startup founders, business owners, authors – express what I would call a Wise Rise. Maybe you can relate. You’re deeply committed to meeting the challenges necessary to grow people’s awareness of your unique point of view, services, or products so you can elevate them (rise) but with a more mindful expenditure of time, energy, resources, and pacing (wise).
To build your business with your ideas requires more than inspiration. It also requires less thrilling things such as systems, habits, and boundaries.
In my ongoing work with leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives, I’m always on the look out for resources to help them leverage their ideas into lasting influence.
These three books I’ve found illuminating and complementary to what we do at Tracking Wonder:
How To Begin by Michael Bungay Stanier (Page Two) MBS.works
Start Finishing: How to Go From Idea to Done by Charlie Gilkey (Sounds True) Charlie Gilkey
Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport (Grand Central Publishing)
