I think i ate playdough!

What did you eat?

Crayons? Paint?? Plasticine???

Now don't deny it!

We all ate something different - that's why our creativity is so unique and different to each of us! :D

I used to love my plasticine - in fact, maybe i never told you - but my childhood was full of play every single day! 

I played with my cats and kittens (yes, they were real - i had lots of cats and kittens as a child) dolls and teddies and coloured and painted and had imaginary friends and made imaginary adventures and my whole family joined in my play - my mum (dad on his day off from work) and elder sisters and brothers. I read books and wrote short stories.

Yes all this under age 11!

My sister made playdough and i loved it and you know i may just have nibbled on it a few times too! :)

OK, so hopefully you grabbed a copy of the book i recommended last week and are reading it now and starting to make those creative and positive changes in your life.

Today's book recommendation - which I've read three times now - is just awesome!

Again, this book was a different read for me but i quickly got into it and boy did i love it.

You will have so many instant, life transforming breakthrough moments - no literally and honestly - this book will walk you through your own personal life journey through this story that you will be amazed at what you learn at the end.

This was another book recommended by my NLP practitioner trainer and in fact it is his favorite book on the 'brain'.

Stop and get your copy now and then let me know in the comments below all the ah-ha moments you have and if you've already read it then i would love to hear from you too!

Happy Creative Reading 2015! :)

Da Vinci and the 40 Answers

Stuck on the same ol' questions in life and looking for creative ways to find solutions to your challenges?

Then pick up THIS book and read for 2015!

This really is a 'Playbook for Creativity and Fresh Ideas!'

I was first introduced to this book back in 2010 when i started to study and attend live NLP training courses.

This book is very different to many that i have read and i had to first get used to it so i started the introduction chapter a few times to get the feel of the author's unique style and flow.

It opened up many creative thinking and doing doors for me and i know it will help you too.

Depending upon your reading style - i first found this book just slightly complex - because the author's style was new to me and i had never read this style of writing before but you soon get into his flow and truly appreciate his uniqueness, insights and teachings.

There's actually a little more than 40 chapters which is good because you won't want to finish this book or put it down.

It's practical and i would advice to read the whole book one time first then second time round grab a notebook and make headings of each chapter and what you learned and understood and then read it to start practicing and implementing the teachings.

If you're a creative entrep like me then as soon as you start reading the first chapter you'll get ideas popping at you and you'll start to think up solutions to your challenges - which is good - but be good and do finish this book first (and write down those ideas that pop at you)! 

Now over to you, grab a copy from Amazon and get your 40 answers now!

(And if you've already read this book and applied its teachings then please comment with what you learned and practiced).

Happy Reading 2015! :)
