TiBiDi Other Reading

Other Reading

My research for Think It, Believe It, Do It has entailed reading literally hundreds of books, magazines, periodicals as well as attending seminars, conferences and courses on Motivation, Leadership, Psychology, Personal effectiveness et al.

Much of this reading and listening has inspired my material, and some is so relevant I have included it with permission from the originator. Where this is not possible, I credit the source during the presentations.

I have listed the more inspiring sources in my TiBiDi Book List below and have included my own personal comments for you to read. This list will be updated each week as I continue to read!

Please feel free to peruse the list, and more importantly, buy the book yourself and see where it takes you. If you want to add your own recommendations, please write to us via the Your TiBiDi section.

Where possible the titles link directly to Amazon.co.uk so that you can obtain the current competitive price.
