It's a zoo around here

A great little book from Nigel (who is also a very entertainig speaker). I received this as part of a series of workshops whilst I worked for Wyko.
I have used the content myself in several workshops I have run and attendees really like it as it is easy to understand and start to recognise the traits in others.
The animal labels for teh 4 categories are also good fun (Lion, Monkey, Elephan, Dolphin).
The book itself is meant to be read in 4 ways (depending on your personal style).

Shut Up, Move On

I heard Paul McGee speak as part of a development program whilst I worked for Wyko. He could only cover a couple of sections from this excellent book during that session.
The title comes from Shut Up Move On and is all about putting life's events into perspective.
My personal favorite is to ask yourself "how important is this going to seem in a year's time?". THere are 7 SUMO habits in all.



SUMO your relationships is pretty much a slight rewrite with a slant towards relationships - I can't say it is really worth it or as good as the original.
