Another great book by Sue Johnson

Revisado: 12-26-21

Hold Me Tight was an amazing book and I've taken EFT-I Level I training to learn more from Sue Johnson. I was looking forward to reading this book for another course and Sue Johnson did not disappoint. This was not a rehash of Hold Me Tight. While the theme and basic concepts are he same, the book brought many new client examples, new scientific information, and more nuance to EFT that was interesting and educational.

Agree: poor substitute for the daily digest

Revisado: 12-11-21

The former WSJ daily digest was getting smaller and smaller over time but still had good quality articles with one opinion article typically. The new podcast format doesn't provide enough high quality content to make it worthwhile.

I'll stick to getting my news from The Economist magazine which has a version I can listen to also.

Focused, clear, practical information

Revisado: 11-07-18

Just getting permission to not do things like reply to emails and avoid getting emails in the first place was super helpful. Techniques for deep work and thinking was icing on the cake.

Exploration of being human through love and death

Revisado: 05-10-17

Locator does a brilliant job representing the voices of a boy lost in untold stories, a mother that never grew up and struggles with life's losses, a grandmother who finds meaning through the children in her life. Each trying to navigate the many aspects of being human in their own way.

It's a long book, but I loved savoring each delicate part. The descriptions put you right in the scene, right in the mind of one of the characters. How Locator understands the inner workings of such a wide variety of people, is beyond me, but he nails the little kids innocent perspective, the mom's restless, young adult perspective, and the grandmother's grasping to stay connected and relevant to the family and the world in the last years of her life as people she loves fade away.

The book raises so many questions but they all come back to who loved whom and does any of the rest really matter?

I read another review indicating they didn't like the authors voice on this recording. I thought it was perfect. It was broken and distant when the characters were broken and distant. It was curious and alive, when the characters were. I can't imagine a better reading of the book.

More than just a LinkedIn manual

Revisado: 09-04-16

I got my LinkedIn account during the dinosaur age when it was brand new. I made an account because a lot friends were sending me invitations, one day I caved and started an account. I wasn't looking for a job or anyone to hire, so I didn't get it.

Fast forward ten/fifteen years and I'm leaving the family business to go on my own. My network and networking is very important now. LinkedIn took on a whole new meaning and purpose.

I knew my profile needed to be updated but wasn't sure how to make it the most effective. This book showed step by step from the smallest, changing your headline, to the most complex, how to engage with your network AND their network, how to maximize LinkedIn.

I did wonder if the book would end trying to "sell" the premium version of LinkedIn and was pleasantly surprised, no it didn't. There's plenty of power in the basic LinkedIn before even considering purchasing more.

I didn't just learn about LinkedIn either. I've read networking books before, but I learned some new basic networking concepts in this book. I did read the first Networking in the 21st Century book which also was packed with ideas. If you like the LinkedIn version and would like more ideas on networking, definitely check out that book also (hopefully available soon on Audible).

Get ready for an exciting journey?

Revisado: 06-16-16

Chris does an awesome job getting you excited to share your passions, even if you don't want to actually give a talk. You will be excited to give it a go after reading even a bit of this book. Then Chris proceeds to tell you exactly how to go about writing, rehearsing, and giving the talk. And it's all done within an ongoing story throughout the book. Fun, fun stuff!

Requires completing the whole process

Revisado: 11-03-15

Many times in the book, it's mentioned that you have to complete the whole process in fell swoop (which takes 1 to 2 years). I think the books needs to be read from beginning to end before beginning. I expect to read, at least parts, several times while I go through the process. I was going to stop after the first chapter and am so glad I didn't. It got better and better as it went on. I realized I the first third of the book that this is really a philosophy more than a technique for cleaning and can be applied to other parts of your life. I've bought four copies of the books to share with family, some tidier than others. All of them can learn from the philosophy behind the system.

I hope you can learn to surround yourself with only things you love. The world will be a better place because of it.
