10 Business Books and Resources to Keep You Grounded in 2015

As someone who likes to think for themselves, it’s hard to find resources that you can trust to give you new ideas, while allowing you to keep your feet on the ground. Here are 10 of my current favorites that I think achieve that. I’d love to know what yours are!

Good Life Project Podcasts – Jonathan Fields

Good Life Project

Jonathan Fields is on a mission to inspire and enable others to develop businesses that align with their core and has for the past years produced some amazing interviews with people, many of whom are already in the public eye. He has a wonderful knack of getting his guests to tell the story behind the story in ways that allow a glimpse of the unique journeys people have been on in creating these standout businesses, perfomances and works of art that we can so often take for granted. Check out in particular his conversations with ultra athlete Rich Roll; master marketer Seth Godin; and vulnerability goddess Brené Brown.

The Icarus Deception – Seth Godin

The Icarus Deception

We all know the story of Icarus, whose father made him wings, but then warned him not to fly too close to the sun, lest the wax holding the feathers together melt, plunging Icarus to a certain death. In this excellent book, Godin points out for us the prevalence of the messages of that story archetype in our society: don’t try too hard; don’t be too clever; don’t be too cocky. And how many of us disguise anything that’s unique about us for fear that we may be judged as being different from the norm. He argues that, in today’s society, if we truly want to serve, and be who we are, we need to wake up to the less well known moral of the Icarus story: that flying too low may cause another kind of failure.

In talking to the creator in all of us, Godin reframaes what it means to be an “artist”. So, it’s as much a manifesto for edgy business owners and maverick corporate types as it is for writers, actors and other “makers”. Besides anything else, Godin inspires us to quit fearing success and dare to get on with standing out in our own unique way.
