MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS
The books you will find in this section are ones that I have read myself, been suggested by people I know, or simply books that seemed intriguing. As with all the topic areas you’ll find on this website, not every suggestion you’ll find listed here will resonate with you or “move you,” but each of them may trigger something in your awareness. A lot of my growth has come from contrast, things that challenged something within me. My intention with this site is to pass along the wisdom that has been shared with me and to remind you TAKE WHAT YOU RESONATE AND LEAVE THE REST.

The Four Hour Work Week
Author: Tim Ferriss
On the topic of happiness, Tim Ferriss states, “that most people choose to be unhappy rather than uncertain”. I find it amazing that people will choose to challenge some parts of their lives and will “just accept” others as if “this is the way it has to be”. We find this especially true for our profession/choice of work. Then there are things that we took a risk on – or at the time seemed risky however when you look back it wasn’t so scary and it was a good decision!

100/0 Principle: The Secret
of Great Relationships
Author: Al Ritter
I really resonate with this book. It shares examples, stories and quotes which will give you “aha” moments. What I love about this book is that is talks about responsibility and accountability. 100/0 Principle book is about taking full responsibility (the 100) for ALL the relationships in your life and expecting nothing in return (the 0) — therefore doing without expectations for the outcome instead letting things unfold as they are meant to happen.

I thought this was a interesting book. Two areas that we do not want to talk about sex and finances. Well, let’s dispel that and know that this is all natural.

Author: Lenore Skenazy
This books was featured in my news paper, The National Post with a tag line, “Lenore Skenazy was branded “America’s Worst Mom” after letting her nine-year-old son ride the subway by himself. There is something to be said about giving our children more responsibility and accountability and freedom. I realize there is a balance and you need to discern each situation.
