What We're reading in May

Gold Standard
business & Leadership development

Here is another book that has been on my reading list for far to long and thanks to this book club, I'm finally putting it on my iPad this month, Principles by Ray Dalio is on for May!

Ray Dalio is well known by any investor and I have known about him for years because of his brilliance in the market as the leader of Bridgewater. This book is said to be both a biography and lessons from a leader in business by creating a business through thinking unlike others around him.

I look forward to reading more about his journey and how he has managed to become so respected for his opinions even when they were unconventional..

Customer Reviews

I wish I could have read this book years ago to avoid many of the mistakes I have made -- and thus not achieved my goals. This book is full of logical and practical tips for goal setting--and I definitely see how they could be actionable. - Dorene

The FlipSide of Failure had me continuously thinking
about many of the goals I had started, the ambitions I have had at various points of my life, and helped me understand why I may not have accomplished them. The format of the book felt like a supportive friend who truly believed in my ability to accomplish anything. The missions and assignments suggested are all relevant and truly fill the gaps where I may have lost steam in my goals previously. I would highly recommend the FlipSide of Failure for anyone who has hit a bump or stumpled in achieving their goals in the past and looking for a boost in the right direction. - Jessica
--------------------
A straightforward and concise recipe for creating a successful goal-setting - and achieving - system by an experienced mentor and coach. Elizabeth has created a very simple and actionable approach to what can be a daunting task. There are a myriad of goal-setting books and gurus out there that offer bloated and complicated systems, but the author here cuts through all the BS and not only breaks it down into doable steps, but also gives you hope that your goals are very much achievable with the right mindset and focus.
I particularly like how it isn't written as a lecture, but more like you're having a conversation with the author. A very no-nonsense approach in a very direct and friendly manner.
Even if you've read 100 goal-setting books before, add this one to your shelf. You'll be glad you did! - David

After months of reading about authenticity, this title, Radical Acceptance - Tara Brach grabbed me. Although this title is new to me, I recognized the name of the author.

I'm excited to read this book as it sounds like it blends modern day living with Buddhist principles. I like the simplicity of Buddhism and am interested to learn in this blended fashion.
