The result was one of the best sessions we&#8217;ve had in a long time &#8211; it was difficult to stop people talking and it also worked well as an introduction to the new year &#8211; considering how we should &#8220;be&#8221; rather than what we should &#8220;do&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If your group are not of the open minded variety, they might find the mental leap to a book as much about the philosophy of running a business in the 21st century a bit of a stretch. If so, or if you don&#8217;t want to overwhelm them maybe choose a few pages to circulate rather than the entire book. The ones we liked were Ease (page 11), Strengths (page 22), Enrichment (page 16), 1% (page 17), Slow Capital (page 55), Power (page 29), Productivity(page 68), World-Healers (page 11), Most (page 21), Passion (page 51), Change (page 50) and Confidence (page 54).<\/p>\n<p>Let us know what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I&#8217;m a huge fan of marketing blogger Seth Godin.
