Posted by We all have New Year’s resolutions. Which one of your resolutions helps your personal development? I love to read. I read 5 books last year. What books are you planning to read of 2025 for your personal development?
I always write points down from each of the books I read and put them in a book and then when I am going into an environment that I am unfamiliar with or a regular meeting that I do not like, I pick one of the points that I have written down and try to do that in the meeting.
Last year I read, how to win friends and influence people. One of the points I took away from that is
“Remember that a person’s name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language”
I always try to link someone’s name to something to help me to remember it. I think this was a really important lesson. How do you make sure that you always remember someone’s name?
I have started reading Surrounded by idiots. Now I sit in the room and see if I can work out which colour each person is based on their behaviour. That way I can then work out how I need to be get the result I want from them. Have you read this book? Do you know what colour you are?
I am going to read eat that Frog next. I like the look of the book and the title just intrigues me. Has anyone read it and what do you think?
What books are you planning to read for 2025 under these headings? What would you recommend?
