Book review The 100% Factor - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog
Book review The 100% Factor - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Ever feel like sitting down and having a long quiet conversation with a very wise person? The kind of chat that leaves you thinking more and deeper about you, your world and how to be more yourself. Reading Jodee Bocks new book The 100% Factor Living Your Capacity is just like that. Its a wonderful affirmation that the world does make sense, that there are simple, deep truths that can help you enjoy it more and that there are people out who have both the experiences and the desire to share those experiences with others. Jodee writes this in the preface: When I think back on my corporate career, I identify myself as a square peg in a round hole With the benefit of hindsight now, Im able to see that if I could have created a support system for my seemlingly outrageous thoughts and belief system, I may have been able to communicate my ideas in a way that wasnt as threatening as it appeared at the time. Had I known that there were others in the world who shared some of my frustrations about feeling stuffed into the box that was mine on the organizational chart, I may have been able to formulate my thoughts into meaningful dialogue. Well, as Jodee now knows, there are plenty of people out there who share her frustrations and beliefs and this book then becomes that meaningful dialogue to all us like-minded individuals everywhere. The topics range widely (even wildly) from accountability, prejudice and fear to change, creativity and courage. I recommend this book to anyone who likes pondering some of the great questions, and would like to peek inside the minde og someone whos obviously spent a lot of time doing so already. You may not agree with everything in the book, but it will inspire you. Disclosure: Jodee is a blogging buddy and gave me a free copy of the book to review. Im also mentioned in the book twice thanks, Jodee. Thanks for visiting my blog. If you're new here, you should check out this list of my 10 most popular articles.
