Dr. Jenny Brockis – Future Brain

 

I picked up this book because I’ve been asked to read and review it for a client, but I was pleasantly surprised by its contents, even if it did drag for a little while. I think part of the problem is that Brockis separates the book into twelve key areas and gives each of those areas a chapter, when sometimes there just isn’t enough content to fill them up.

Still, if you want to learn more about how to be your best, especially with the backing of a medical practitioner and a number of authoritative studies, this book is a pretty good one for you to check out. I was actually quite impressed by how thorough the medical side of the research was, to the point at which I even gave it the time of day when it talked about stuff like meditation and mindfulness even though I’ve historically been a skeptic. Perhaps part of that is because of a friend of mine is a bit of a hippie and she’s been starting to show me how it can all help out in practice.

If you only read one or two business books per year then don’t bother with this one, but it’s certainly worth picking up if you just can’t get enough and you’re constantly looking for an extra edge. So there’s that.

Charles Heathcote – Our Doris

 

I watch Charlie on YouTube, where he talks about the books he reads and the writing process. I do something much the same myself. I first started to get hooked on his content through his woolgathering monologues, where he sits in his car and talks about life.

If you find those videos entertaining, you’re going to love this. Our Doris is a beautifully put together indie release that nails everything from the cover and the layout to the contents inside of it. It has a very northern British sense of humour and reminds me of what Douglas Adams would sound like if he was from Wigan.

It’s a lot of fun, and probably the best indie book I’ve read this year so far. It’s also likely to make it into my top ten books of the quarter. I think you’re either going to love this one or just not going to get the humour, there’s no real middle ground. But it’s definitely worth a shot and I loved it.
