The Potentialist: The Pursuit of Wisdom by Ben Lytle

Posted

Ben Lytle's second Potentialist book focuses on the pursuit of wisdom. 

He shows that it is possible to exercise the muscle of wisdom to create a better quality of life and relationships, and help us reach our potential. 

Similarly to the first book in the series, which focused on potential, he is encouraging us to be the best we can be. In his words: “I will do my best, to be my best, and leave the world and the people I meet a little better than I found them.”

Lytle takes us through a thought-provoking exploration of the future and how we as individuals can prepare for the rapid changes ahead. The book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of technology, society, psychology and personal growth.

Preparing for and living in The New Reality, our future will shaped by technological advancements and societal shifts. To thrive, we must learn how to adapt to this "new reality".

Wisdom, as defined by Lytle, is the ability to apply knowledge and experience to make sound judgments. Making informed decisions based on relevant information will be crucial in a world where we have more information at our finger tips than we know what to do with it. 

Throughout the book are dotted various exercises, to help the reader prepare for the new reality including developing wisdom and potential. This include cultivating a growth mindset, building strong relationships, and developing financial literacy.

Despite the challenges presented in the book, I was left with a feeling that it is possible to harness the power of technology and innovation to create a better world.

I highly recommend that you read this and his previous Potentialist book. I found them to be extremely inspiring and encouraging. 


"The Potentialist: The Pursuit of Wisdom" is available from tomorrow 8 October 2024.


I am looking forward to the third book in the series, which according to a comment in this book will cover how some people and relationships lift us to become our best, whereas others hold us back or destroy our potential.

More Than Just Mum by Rebecca Smith

Posted
I'll happily pay for a 'mum breakdown service' Title: More Than Just Mum  (More Than Just Mum, Book 1) Author: Rebecca Smith In the reviews by others, this book is described as an "absolutely hilarious, laugh out loud novel of family chaos and reinvention". I wasn't that enamoured with it. Sure, it made me smile from time to time, but it wasn't incredible.  Hannah is the mum of Dylan, Scarlet and Benji. She's tired of being 'the mum of...'. and she's longingly looking back at a time when she was Hannah, not the MUM. She decides she needs to find a job she loves and earn a lot of money.  To earn lots of money she decides she should become a writer, because they apparently all earn a lot of dosh. She has a particular niche in mind...  "... might ask for advice about how to handle being forty-three years old, permanently strapped for cash and doing a job I hate while trying to deal with three exhausting kids. That’s the kind of breakdown ...

Dark Secrets on Dressmakers' Alley by Rosie Clarke

Posted
Dark Secrets on Dressmakers' Alley is the latest instalment in the gritty, historical saga series set in London's East End in 1924.  It builds on the first book in the series "Dangerous Times on Dressmakers' Alley" with many of the characters returning and coming further to life.  The girls are enjoying their work at Miss Susie's, the dressmaker's run by a former maid. Recently there has been a series of women being attached and robbed, even in broad daylight.  The Police seem too busy (and somewhat incompetent) so the men of the Dressmakers' Alley create a rota to keep an eye on the area and to keep their wives, girlfriends and sisters safe. The story felt a bit darker than the previous one, and some of the novelty from the first book was now just part of the back story (a Lady designing dresses, a former maid running a business, the Women's Movement, etc).    Dark Secrets on Dressmakers Alley by Rosie Clarke is available on 29 October 2024.
