Overview

Actionable Books Summaries are designed to help you put ideas from leading business books into action in your life in five minutes or less. Each Summary is two pages in length and provides you with:

1

A brief overview on the book,

giving you the “flavour” of the book and helping you determine if its content would be beneficial for you.

2

One great idea from the book (The “Golden Egg”)

Certain books may have 12 great ideas, but our goal is to start you off with one.

3

Two concrete ways you can apply the Golden Egg today.

We call these the “GEMs” of the summary, and each one can be implemented in your life in 5 minutes or less.

We’ll send you a new summary each week, so you can improve your Entrepreneurial Thinking skills incrementally. Imagine the difference that one small behaviour or attitude change each week could make on your ability to innovate and embrace change more effectively.

“The Actionable Books summaries are like my weekly ‘booster shot’ – for both personal and professional growth. I’m learning new strategies with practical (and often immediate) application. It’s a quick read over morning coffee – and well worth it! I’m on the weekly newsletter. Thanks AB!”

Author Interview

launch

While Innovation is THE corporate buzzword of the decade, there are few who understand the term as well as Steve Shapiro. Shapiro has been studying cultures of innovation for over 15 years and has written 3 books on the subject. His work includes hands on, practical guidance on how to encourage and support innovation from your team (and yourself). During this 27 minute interview with Chris, he imparts some of his wisdom from his home in Quincy, Mass.
