LID Publishing blog is bringing you all the books to boost your productivity. Whether it be focused on your health, your purpose or your attitude, we have created a list of the best books to keep you motivated in the heat.

Purpose by Ben Renshaw

What is your purpose? This is probably the single most important question you can ask yourself and the answer will shape your future. However, it’s not always straightforward. We are led to believe that our purpose is connected with how much we achieve, the accumulation of possessions, or attaining status in society. Nothing could be further from the truth. In Purpose, thought leader Ben Renshaw provides the guidance and tools required to discover and lead with real purpose.

Positive Nutrition by Kate Cook

As our lives speed up at an ever more frantic pace, we can find that we just don’t have the energy currency to keep up. What if getting the focussed energy we need is nothing more than understanding the rules, and then putting in a strategic eating plan to deliver concrete results?

Kate Cook delivers a down-to-earth, no-nonsense approach to eating well. With so much confusion around diet, food, and eating, this book aims to get a clear eating structure in place, empowering the reader to make wise and nurturing choices around food, for both work dynamism and focussed-living.

Not Doing by Steven D͛Souza & Diana Renner

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.

The Attitude Book by Simon Tyler

How to create positive change and outcomes by “shifting” our attitudes. The definition of attitude: an expression of favour or disfavour toward a person, thing or event. As human beings, we often find ourselves locked into certain habits, patterns, and behaviours. However, that is not to say we do not have a choice, especially when it comes to our attitude toward people, situations, and outcomes.

In this original and engaging book, a leading business coach demonstrates how we can shift our attitudes to create positive change and outcomes in our work and personal lives. In doing so, he helps us to reassess our current habits and behaviours and makes us realize the wider choices we have in coping and dealing with people, issues, and problems in our everyday lives. Part of the bestselling Concise Advice series – stylishly presented and easy to understand and apply.

The Attitude Book is available here.
