TALENT FOLKS' BOOK BRIEFS

Application Points

Thoughts and knowledge shared in written words can be powerful in today's fast, streaming mindset. Gleaning a token or two from each book that we can apply to ourselves and our work is a gift.

Book briefs provide three to five key points from business, leadership or talent books that you can apply now.

Not a Book Review

I read a lot. And I celebrate all authors. It takes passion and serious work to do what they do, so I don't believe any of them deserve negative comments.
