Platform: Get noticed in a noisy world (Thomas Nelson, 2012)
Want to learn to build a platform? Michael Hyatt’s book is a great place to start.
At $24.99, Platform is an inexpensive alternative to high cost platform building offerings that have sprung up everywhere almost overnight. Hyatt’s thought is based on more than thirty years in the industry, eight of which as CEO for Thomas Nelson Publishers.
Easy to understand. Easy to apply. Highly recommend.
Gratitude: Affirming one another through stories (Parkhurst Brothers Publishers, 2013)
When I joined the National Storytelling Network at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee, I was given Froyen’s soon to be released book as free bonus. I admin I haven’t read Gratitude yet. I’m recommending it to you and to myself, I guess, based on Rick Warren’s sermon last Sunday. When I heard Warren’s happy heart workout included gratitude, I thought, “I have a book on gratitude!”
This is a big step. I haven’t recommended a book I haven’t read since the mid-1980s. I gave a best seller to a librarian friend for her birthday. About a week later she came up to me. “You didn’t read the book you gave me, did you?” she asked. “No,” I answered. “I didn’t think so,” she replied and walked away.
I went out and bought the book for myself. I think it curled my very straight hair!
