A book I read a couple weeks ago (within 30 minutes) is
You 2 (You Squared): A High- Velocity Formula for Multiplying your Personal Effectiveness in Quantum Leaps by Price Pritchett
for my Weekly Mastermind meeting. This is an easy book to read - only 35 pages. It has 18 very short chapters listed below. After I read it, I was able to have a very explosive workout the next day. I've heard the same of others that have read this book in regards to their personal performance when they're thinking about this book. This book is about taking quantum leaps in everything you do. It describes it as "... the explosive jump that a particulat of matter undergoes in moving from one place to another ... in a figurative sense, taking the quantum leap means taking the risk, going off into uncharted territory with no guide to follow." Being able to make these jumps without apparent effort and covering all your bases. The book talks about applying this scientific finding into our personal performance. It talks about not trying harder or simply doing what you normally do. It says to go with the flow and thinking possibilities are endless. I love that it states that we should remove doubt and stop thinking about the game plan and just act looking at the end in mind. You need to act and not just dream and believe that failure is just part of the process that gives you strength. Use the skills and abilities you already have within you and have a passion for what you're doing. Here's a great statement toward the end of the book.
"Your dreams, your desires, the thoughts that burn the hottest in your mind, they carry the messages that help you find your own 'magnetic north.' They point the way toward the breakthrough to you(2)."

I would love a longer book on this subject. The 35 pages was a great short read but I think that I think a larger book on other concepts interwoven with this one will also be a great read. Maybe some real life examples of this in action both in science and in people's lives.
Here are the chapters. Enjoy the book and let me know about YOUR Quantum Leap by leaving a comment below! - Flower
