Anecdotal Stories

I came across The 𝘗𝘪𝘵𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘈𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘮 and the 𝙵̲𝚊̲𝚌̲𝚝̲𝚘̲𝚛̲𝚢̲ ̲𝚏̲𝚘̲𝚛̲ ̲𝙶̲𝚘̲𝚘̲𝚍̲ after watching Alex Bean talk on a podcast show. This book has tons of anecdotes with actionable advice making it a great audiobook. It gets better when added to other Factory for Good web material.

Alex has credibility with me after hearing about his professional story with Paige Doherty author of 𝚂̲𝚎̲𝚎̲𝚍̲ ̲𝚝̲𝚘̲ ̲𝙷̲𝚊̲𝚛̲𝚟̲𝚎̲𝚜̲𝚝̲:̲ 𝘈 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘴 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭. Alex wrote about "emotional capital" and I think this is important for situations similar to the humbling trial of hiring C-suite. Personally. I am going to have to do a better job to stay high when near “hobby hill” and be happy instead of getting the “disease of more.” Also liked the lighthouse, hill, and mountain analogy is a great visual for how to set an objective, mission, and vision. I have heard of Cotapaxi so this was a great example. Stay working to learn.

A must read for anyone who considers themselves a 'successfull' person

This is a deep dive into the potential pitfalls monetary success can bring, how to navigate those pitfalls, and tools offered to stay focused on what really matters and brings true and lasting happiness to those in the pursuit of 'success'. I found this book to be inspiring and insightful information. The tools offered here seem practical and easy to implement. I'll be referring back to this. Great job Alex!
