Two Good Books
I heartily recommend two wonderful books I finished reading last week.
The first one is The Fred Factor, subtitled, How passion in your work and life can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, written by Mark Sanborn...(be sure to visit Mark Sanborn's Blog).
The Fred Factor is based on the enthusiastic endeavors of Fred Shea, an ordinary mail carrier in Denver, CO., who turned his mundane mail delivery duties into a career dedicated to extraordinary acts of service to all of the "customers" on his mail route.
He didn't do it for recognition or for remuneration; he did it because it brought him great pleasure to serve his "clients" in an exceptional way.
It's a short, easy to read book with lessons everyone can apply to all aspects of life to better enrich your business as well as your personal relationships.
The second book I recommend is by Dr. Robert Emmons, editor in chief of The Journal of Positive Psychology and it's titled, Thanks!, How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier.
The book is a result of an eight year study on gratitude and the powerful effects that attitude has on those who choose to be grateful.
Emmons makes the point throughout the book that being grateful is one of the most life changing attitudes we can have in our life.
The book is replete with inspiring accounts of people who deal with hardships and tribulation yet find it in their psyche to be grateful.
It's a book that can help and encourage any and everyone, whether or not you're undergoing distress. The attitude of gratitude can make your life better.
Thanks! is the perfect companion to Dennis Prager's book, Happiness Is a Serious Problem; another book I highly recommend.
