17 Runs - The Unbeaten Path to...

Olivia Chadwick, Garnet Morris

Olivia Chadwick—a young mother and self-critical personal trainer—first met insurance magnate Garnet Morris at 6 am on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick's task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling,100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his coachability as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles. 
Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness—as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength. 
 In 17 Runs, co-authors Chadwick and Morris chart the course of their unique camaraderie around initial differences and toward mutual transformation. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and ability to love. 
Full of entrepreneurial wisdom on overcoming limitations, 17 Runs is a self-development story like no other. By turns motivational, amusing and heart-breaking, it is a must-read for anyone who needs coaching on how to run toward a life they truly choose.

Through the Magic Door

Arthur Conan Doyle

Through the Magic Door by great mystery writer Arthur Conan Doyle is about Doyle's favorite books and the intelligent minds behind them. Excerpt: "I care not how humble your bookshelf may be, nor how lowly the room which it adorns. Close the door of that room behind you, shut off with it all the cares of the outer world, plunge back into the soothing company of the great dead, and then you are through the magic portal into that fair land whither worry and vexation can follow you no more. You have left all that is vulgar and all that is sordid behind you. There stand your noble, silent comrades, waiting in their ranks."

The Crazy Busy Cure - A...

Zena Everett

How we spend our time is one of the greatest indicators of how successful we will be. We achieve our goals when we ruthlessly prioritize tasks and people that are important to us. If we focus our time, energy, and attention on the wrong things, we will never achieve the success or happiness that we aspire to. The problem is that these wrong things, the low value, low impact tasks that distract us from our priorities, are hard to ignore. They scream out at us all day: digital distractions, other people's urgent demand for “five minutes” that's never five minutes, the meetings that you shouldn't be in, the pointless email chains, the reports you write that don't get read. We get a dopamine hit from ticking these tasks off a list. It's got us hooked on crazy busyness. But all we are doing is scratching off a layer of fake work on top of the real, valuable work. The Crazy Busy Cure is full of intensely practical tips to save people from this addiction and become productive again. Jammed with practical productivity solutions to use immediately, it introduces concepts that will help you manage other people's work as well as your own—and that apply to working virtually as well.
