Things that make you go WOW – read this book!!!!
WOW NEW BOOK
BLINK
The Power of Thinking Without Thinking!
Thanks to Mich for the tip – this is the MUST-READ book that all business leaders are reading at the moment … so if you’re someone that likes to follow the trends of ‘-must-reads’ or want to get ahead in your career or your life, read about those ‘blink moments’.
From the WEBSITE:
“It’s a book about rapid cognition, about the kind of thinking that happens in a blink of an eye. When you meet someone for the first time, or walk into a house you are thinking of buying, or read the first few sentences of a book, your mind takes about two seconds to jump to a series of conclusions. Well, “Blink” is a book about those two seconds, because I think those instant conclusions that we reach are really powerful and really important and, occasionally, really good.
It’s on sale at Exclusives for R154.

This is a new Represent feature – thanks to Stoffel for the idea – THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO WOW. This posting will feature anything that we come across that cheers us up, inpires us, touches us in some way or simply makes us go WOW.
We start with a great book.
Are you having a BLUE MOMENT in your life or are you simply in need of a little help in your quest to gain PERSONAL FREEDOM? Go and buy ‘The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz’ – that’s if you don’t have it already. It’s been on the New York Times best seller list for 2 years.
We’re a little cynical and tend not to overdo the esoteric book shelves, particularly when it comes to pseudo Indian American imagery, but this book made it through our cynicism net and comes with HIGHLY RECOMMENDED stamped all over it. You can probably read it in a day, although it’s the kind of book you want to keep with you for a quick reread in times of downers.
It gives you four simple agreements to follow that can help you find personal freedom. The one that we like the most is ‘Never take anything personally’ – whatever someone says or does to you, it’s generally about their own issues and their own problems and has very little to do with you. So next time someone tells you you look fat in it, don’t believe them. They feel fat.
Thanks to KHANYI for the recommendation.
