Excellent list of books! I’ll order some!!
Scott, was THE POWER OF MOMENTS worth it? I’ve seen other titles by Chip Heath, and I’m wondering if they’re all of the same ideas, or if this one can stand on its own. Thanks! (Loved ATOMIC HABITS – then TINY HABITS by BJ Fogg was along the same vein, but came at it from a different angle.)
Hi Joy! Happy New Year! 🙂 I really enjoyed Power of Moments. It’s very readable and it got me thinking about how to insert some more ‘moments’ into my work. If you’re hesitant, maybe a library check out instead of a purchase? I’ll check out Tiny Habits!
For sure – library! ;D
(I hardly ever purchase books unless I’ve already read them and want to give them away or bring them into the classroom.) Thanks, Scott!
Great list of books Scott. The Power of Moments and Atomic Habits are on my bookshelf, as are leadership/organization books by John Maxwell, Parker Palmer (The Courage to Teach), Margaret Wheatley, and Peter Senge
Got all of those folks on my bookshelf! 🙂
