The Christmas season is upon us again. Time for family and friends, and also for relaxation. Therefore from STROOM a few reading and listening tips. A fine collection of business and leisure titles. Energy for growth and energy for knowledge.
Time is flying by and so is 2023. At the turn of the year, we like to reflect on that. Therefore, two exciting stories about the inflection of time. What if all is not as we think?
- Book:Anomaly
A plane en route from Paris to New York runs into a monster storm. It eventually lands safely at JFK, but the real trouble begins 100 days later when the exact same flight, with the same passengers, arrives in New York once again....
A real pageturner: science fiction, thriller, love story and psychological novel all in one.
- Book:We Were Here
Imagine the earth spinning slower and slower and each day is just a little longer than the last.
How does that end? The minutes get longer, so do the hours. The days and nights are no longer the same. What does that do to you? And to the neighbors? And to the land?
Are you holding on to the old time or the new time?
A book that makes you think about what you yourself are most attached to: work and private, physical and digital.
- How not to plan: 66 ways to screw it up (Les Binet )
A "timeless classic," it is perhaps the most practical and clearest book of all.
Advertising, communication and media have many differences, but 1 thing they have in common: in all areas, lots of mistakes are made. And Les Binet has been kind enough to write down those wrong n to describe what you should especially not do.
Les Binet is known for the researchers' partnership with Peter Field. They did years of research and published many books on effectiveness. This book will especially appeal to the Marcom Brand and Media Manager who is in the middle of the practice.
- Podcast: Omdenkenken
Communication also has a lot to do with psychology and sociology. Hence, from a personal and business perspective, the Omdenken podcast is also worth listening to. There are a huge number of sessions recorded, the topics vary enormously but you can easily find your way around that. It makes it a rich collection of people's stories. It always looks for a solution through Letting Go, Omdenken, Observing or Solving. It simply tries to turn every problem into an opportunity.
