Everyone is asking about Jon’s books…
… and I talked to Jon about that and this is what he said -
(Referring to a specific inquiry)… “but I really encouraged him to do whatever he could to purchase your course since that is what gave me the context to get so much more out of the books that I read, which was literally hundreds. I read everything you mentioned (articles included) and others books that were connected by topics, but you provided me with an exceptional framework from which to discern what I was reading and how to apply it to myself. Well, I do hope more people went out to purchase your course rather than try to read all the books that I read. It’s part of my own learning style and I have a certain way of processing information. Also, my wife played a huge role in helping me understand myself. We don’t own a t.v., so you can imagine how much time we get to talk (that is if our three little boys aren’t wrestling or playing Nerf swords with me). I guess you better get your book done soon…”
But … having said that, Deborah Bershatsky, one of our most talented and experienced mental coaches, suggested to me yesterday that a terrific place to start is with The Road Less Traveled... a book I read in the early 1980′s! And I agree. After that, Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman is a great start. Descartes’ Error and The Feeling of What Happens by Damasio.
