023: Book Reflections| The Motivation Manifesto: 9 Declarations to Claim Your Personal Power by Brendon Burchard

The Motivation Manifesto: 9 Declarations to Claim Your Personal Power by Brendon Burchard

“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” John F. Kennedy

If there were one book I would recommend you read to start off your year it would be this one. I ended the year reading it but could easily read it again.

The thought provoking content, the motivation, the inspirational energy and the burning desire it has sparked within are still hanging with me now.

If you are in a place of darkness or just stuck in some limiting form of life, which I understand for the majority, it is the case, then this book has the power to transform you and push you to taking action and control of your life and your destiny.

This is my top read of 2015. Simple and to the point, motivationally purposeful, thought provokingly insightful, ground breaking, powerful and transformational.

Loretta is Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay. She was teacher of management and had studied phycology for a long time and in her research she kept reading references to brain chemicals and the way they affect animals. While the dots were not connected for her she realized that we share our brain chemicals with animals and it are these chemicals that affect their behavior in very significant ways.

In this episode we discuss our happy chemicals. The habits of a happy brain, how we can influence our levels of happiness on our journey to living with greater passion and purpose and much more. 

“You may say you’re against status, but if you filled a room with people who said they were anti-status, a hierarchy would soon form based on how anti-status they are.”

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz

This little book is insightful and full of Toltec wisdom. In my understanding Toltec stems from Native American culture and really prescribes techniques used to prevent the disintegration of the self and in doing so changing our perspectives and perception in life.

So right or wrong the four agreements that Don shares in this book are simply that, ways to change our perceptions to allow us to hold strength in one-self and in doing so harnessing more free and happy lives.
