What are you reading?

It has been said (Edward De Bono, I believe, amongst others) that a sign of intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in your head at the same time. So: a chance to tease and stretch your intelligence with two excellent books. Those who attend my seminars will know that for those who are serious about reducing stress and improving work-life balance I often recommend the work of Deepak Chopra. Chopra is a prolific author in the field of mind-body medicine, spirituality and world peace. If you wish to try his work you should certainly read Perfect Health and The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. His latest book is Power, Freedom and Grace and is a wide-ranging book which will really enable you to clarify your thinking on such fundamental topics as who am I? and what do I want? Read it!

Then there is Richard Dawkins. Another clear thinker who rose to prominence with the stunning The Selfish Gene. Dawkins more recently has become a passionate writer and speaker on the question of God. In particular, why do we believe in him? Expand your brain and read The Selfish Gene and then his latest: The God Delusion

And then I strongly encourage you to discuss both books at your next Learning Group session.
