REVIEWS
What does success look like? Ask a million people and they will give you a million different answers. Many answers will centre around making as much money as possible. But meaningful success requires an understanding of some key human values. Neil Francis understands this well and his latest book gives important insight into how to combine business or personal success and human impact at the same time.

Neil’s book knit together theory and practice in a way is both easy to follow and easy to adopt. And why would we not wish to adopt practices that add value, encourage creativity and inspire others? Unlike some books which use global phenomena as case studies. Neil’s latest book uses realistic, close-to-home examples which enable the reader to emphasize with the protagonists and identify with the situation, thus encouraging changes in behaviour which in turn make a difference and help to deliver success.

Not Doing
So many people today are struggling with the increasing pace of change and the constant and excessive busyness that comes with it. Many feel stretched, overwhelmed and exhausted, besieged by the demands of complex projects and workplaces. They are engaged in a kind of "doing" that is more effort and struggle, rather than a "doing" that comes from a place of presence, openness and aliveness. This is not only ineffective and unsustainable, but ultimately ends in stress, anxiety and burnout. This book, by the authors of the award-winning Not Knowing (Best Management Book of the Year), explores the limits and dangers of "doing"; how do they play out in our lives and workplaces; what is driving, or contributing, to our excessive activity; and what would a different kind of "doing" look like, that is less about control and struggle and more about well-being, harmony and creativity.

My 31 Practices
Do you want a life with a clear purpose? Do you want to be happy and less stressed? Do you want to be the best you can be? For most of us, Yes is an easy answer, but to do this is more of a challenge. This book provides a powerful and personal framework to help you find your own superhero and to be the best version of yourself.
It all starts with your core personal values, giving a foundation for the way you want to behave. Values are like a moral compass, guiding us when we face choice and uncertainty. When our behaviour is not aligned with our values, we feel stressed. But when our hearts, minds and bodies are aligned, then we find great personal power. Part workbook, part guidebook, My 31 Practices will help you to identify the right values for your life and then translate them into day-to-day behaviour. Author: Alan Williams & Steve Payne
