My recommended Xmas reading for you, your business, your health and society

21/12/2018

Of the books I have read over the last 6 or 7 weeks, these are four that I can recommend for your Xmas reading - one for yourself, one for your health, one for your business and one for society.
For society: The War On Normal People by Andrew Yang is a wake-up call on the impact of AI and robotics on the average person. In this age of fracturing and disenchantment this is a fundamental read for every thinking person and especially corporate leaders. If the social contract is under strain now then you ain't seen nothing yet!

​For you: The Choice by Edith Eger demonstrates beyond doubt that victimhood is optional. In our increasingly neurotic society this book gives you insights which will potentially help you make choices which change how life reflects itself upon you.
For business: Digital Darwinism by Tom Goodwin is pleasantly irreverent and cuts to the point on the half-baked experiences that are daily thrust upon us under the guise of digital disruption. In the midst of enormous excitement and potential, organisations continue to serve us up digital fluff which executives sport as campaign medals to their bedazzled Boards of Directors (just back from their Silicon Valley bootcamp). Make this one your digital business bible for 2019.

For your health: Overcoming Poor Posture by Low & Ilano provides very practical advice on how to modulate your posture to that which best meets your daily needs. This will be the posture which optimises the demand for muscular endurance and strength, and in doing so reduces the likelihood of discomfort and pain. You don’t need to aspire to the posture of a ballet dancer in order to attain your proper alignment and to gain all the benefits of an optimised posture. Easy to read, clear what needs to be done. Highly recommended. ​

An honourable mention goes to Obliquity by John Kay which should be compulsory reading for the Boards of all those firms who have managed to draw the attention of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry upon themselves.

Have you read any of these books, what were your take-aways? Which others do you recommend?

Getting Back To Exercise After Incapacitating Back Pain

Hurting your back is traumatic - physically and mentally

When it happened to me it was like a bolt of lightning striking my lower back. In the midst of some intensive exercise I stopped, ironically, to move a small dumbbell away from my feet to avoid the possibly of tripping on it. I leant over, reached down, and almost at the point of giving it a gentle flick to the right with my fingers a shrieking pain immobilised me. 

I was both dumbfounded and in agony. Putting weight on my left leg hurt, and even standing up straight hurt. My mind was racing. 
Your're only as strong as your back.
One of my instructors was fond of saying "you're only as strong as your back", and my back felt like it was permanently out of action. Was I ever going to be able to exercise again? Was this going to be what life was like for the rest of my life? Had I pinched a nerve, would it always hurt? I was now sweating more from fear than from pain!
