Yes, it takes a little bit of craziness to step out of the box. To do the impossible, the uncommon.
SESA member Eve and I started with this book. We will be doing a section a day. In a week we will be done with this book.
Book 1: Change Anything by Kerry Patterson: "An extremely practical toolkit offers awareness and positive steps to all who seek change in their lives"-Library Journal
$13.98 http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/change-anything-kerry-patterson/1026236393
Today was the beginning of the book to page 23. Boy was this a battle uphill. Completing the reading cwas good. It is an easy read. I like skimming a lot. As I was skimming the table of content, I really like this part.
"Be the Scientist and the Subject
Change happens when we stop looking for off-the-shelf answers to our one-of-a kind challenges. You are unique. The change plan that will work for you is unique. In order to find it, you'll have to be both the scientist and the subject of your unique experiment. When you take on this mind-set, even bad days become good data. You become progressively smarter at influencing yourself until you evolve a plan that works perfectly for your subject: you."
On page 14 introduces the six sources of influence.
Motivation Ability
Personal 1 2
Social 3 4
Structural 5 6
Basically the author is says that there are more influences against you than there are for you unless you surround yourself with influences that is for you than influences against you.
