The Potentialist: The Pursuit of Wisdom by Ben Lytle

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.

Embrace the Lace by Shannon MacLeod

Paisley Evangeline Darling (Van for short) attends a renaissance festival in the US, but somehow ends up in a pond in Scotland and is rescued by Andrew MacIver. Not only has she travelled across the world, she's also travelled in time - back to the 17th century. Add in some more low level magic, a nasty uncle and women competing for Andrew's reluctant hand in marriage. Highly entertaining story with some slow romance and Van getting stuck into her new life and improving operations at Andy's castle. This book is available now! PS. I am not really sure what inspired the title of this book. #EmbraceTheLace #NetGalley
