Overview

Actionable Books Summaries 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 Professional Maturity skills incrementally. Imagine the difference that one small behaviour or attitude change each week could make on your ability to work with your team 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!”

None of us work in a vacuum. Professional Maturity is the set of skills and the attitude we need to master in order to work effectively with our coworkers, boss and clients. We can all benefit from better learning to take ownership over our actions, work effectively with difficult coworkers, tap into our passions and purpose at work and motivate ourselves to greater professional accomplishment. We’ve collected some of the world’s best business books on the various nuances of Professional Maturity, distilled them down to one core concept each, and provided you with two easy ways to put them into effect in your life.
