Thought Provoking Books

Although recruitment is our core business I like to share other thought provoking and hopefully motivational articles.

Sometimes we face situations we can’t anticipate that can turn our world upside down and lead to a great deal of uncertainty and ongoing stress and the current Covid-19 crisis is no different.

Having started Right International over 25 years I’ve encountered many challenging and tough personal and financial situations but somehow, I’ve always managed to find a way through.

How we respond and react to certain situation can greatly influence what happens next.

Many years ago, my Dad introduced me to a range of personal development gurus of their time and really many of their core principles haven’t really changed, although they’ve been packaged and marketed differently.

I’ve listed some books that have helped me along the way that I regularly go back to (Tip highlight/underline key points – easier to refer to).

How to Win Friends and Influence People – Dale Carnegie

Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill

Awaken the Giant Within – Tony Robbins

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari – Robin Sharma

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – Stephen Covey (I had the pleasure of meeting Stephen several years age, he was a real gentleman and a very humble individual)

I first published this article last year and one of the books that was recommended to me was Obstacle is the way – The Ancient Art of a Turing Adversity to Advantage – Ryan Holliday – I’ve just finished reading it and I’d thoroughly recommended it. It’s full of ideas and anecdotes of dealing with the inevitable challenges of life!
