Book Review: Don't Look Down

 Don't look down, by Bob Campana with Niles Howard is a collection of enterprising adventures and battlefield lessons. The narrative begins with the author's grandfather who came from Italy and set up a small endeavor, and continues with the making and unmaking of many. The book exudes in abundance, bits of wisdom the author gained in his productive and challenging journey through many an enterprise. It chronicles a wide collection of activities like managing a sheep farm, owning a ranch, travel expeditions around many countries, and a sojourn in Kashmir and Nepal.
Everywhere, the focus is on skillfully managing one's business while paying due attention to personal affairs and needs. Things like delegating and prioritizing come to fore, while the spree of successful ventures and new acquisitions continue. Therefore, this becomes a book that rolls out a human story with a lot to learn, one of a man who built his life brick by brick, and loved every minute of it.

Book Review: Beyond Blind Blaming

 Beyond Blind Blaming by Kevin D St.Clergy This book is all about finding real problems, and fixing it for good. It begins with something he learned during his travel from a zero to a hero. "Never let anyone steal your dreams.

It’s hard to beat someone who never quits"

In part 1, the book describes the tendency of 'blaming', and analyzes its causes and repercussions. Like, how it can hold one back from one's true potential, what hidden costs are there, and how, one can escape from it. Also, how blaming can avoid detection, and how it can lead to chaos. Part 2 introduces a patented product of the author, the RCD (Reflect Connect Decide) method for overcoming such destructive elements of life. Come to part 3, and familiarize with real world examples (7 case studies) showing us the practical implementation and actual performance of all these precepts.

This is an elucidating discussion with quite a few formulas, diagrams, and many novel ideas like behavioral bedrock, which enables the book to exude an unmissable air of authenticity. And, key takeaways, reflection questions, and proposed action steps, are there at the end of each chapter to make reading this book a greatly rewarding experience.
