My cousin Josh has been writing his Rambling Josh column for over 20 years. (Short aside, it is funny to me that I’ve been blogging for 20 years as well. His column and my blog are very close to the same age.) In 2024 I helped Josh get all of his writing on the web so that it is preserved and accessible to the world. I’m super happy that everyone can now read his writing. And now, he’s created a book from his columns. He sent me a copy (signed and all!) and it looks amazing. Go buy a copy. You can also read Six and A Lot about it. Congrats cousin!

One of my favorite activities for a Saturday morning is to enjoy a cup of coffee while reading a variety of emails and web pages I’ve received over the week on my iPad. It very specifically needs to be on the iPad, with no case.

I’ve met Matt Norman a few times. He is an incredibly outgoing, generous, and nice person that happily shares his insights with others. When he asked me if I would like an early read of his new book Lead With Influence I said yes right away.

\n

Influence is an important topic, particularly in modern organizations that go far beyond a simple hierarchal view of the organization. To get things done, regardless of title and position, you need to influence people and sell them on your ideas. Knowledge work doesn’t happen because you tell someone to do it. Cross-functional teams are the norm and require influence to align around their objectives and achieve success. So, how do you achieve this influence?

\n

This is where Norman’s book comes in. He walks the reader through all of the components of creating influence. He includes many resources in the form of different checklists and mental models to help the reader work through creating influence on their own. This is a book that could easily come with worksheets (or make your own) to help you create a strong case for what you are working to influence in any given situation.

\n

I would recommend this book to knowledge workers that find themselves working in cross-functional teams toward a goal (isn’t this all knowledge workers?). The book is approachable by anyone in business even if you have very little training or experience in these topics.

\n

Here is the table of contents so you can get a feel for the book.

\n

  1. Explore the Four Parts of Human Thinking That Drive Influence
    2. \n
  2. Develop the Art of Facilitation

    4. \n
\n

PART THREE — Propose: Making Your Ideas Known

    \n
  1. Explain in a Way That Will Resonate
    2. \n
  2. It’s Not Just What You Say, but How You Say It

\n

PART FOUR — Persuade: Managing Resistance and Tension

\n
    \n

    3. \n
  3. Persuade through Pushback

They speak to us about the power of connection, the place of beauty in our lives, and the strength that comes from deep within us all.

\n

They go beyond the light,.

\n

That is why, after 40 years of searching out these images, wherever they are found – from my own backyard to locations across the world – I am bringing a curated collection of these photographs and the stories behind them, together in a new, high-quality collector’s edition book; BEYOND THE LIGHT: The Stories Behind The Photographs.

\n
\n

I still routinely hear Layne’s words when I look through the viewfinder.

\n

“Every photo tells a story. What is the story you are telling?”

\n

True for many things beyond photography too…

The Kickstarter is just $1,000 away from the funding goal! 🎉

In this issue: My Brigadista Year, We Are Not From Here, Minecraft: The Mountain, Caste, To Shake the Sleeping Self, and Four Thousand Weeks.

\n

My Brigadista Year: This libro really struck home for me because of the overarching themes of family, love, teaching, and farming. Like, literally all of my favorite things. It is a grounding, heartwarming read. — Mazie

\n

We Are Not From Here: It’s not a lighthearted read, but it is a devastatingly honest look at the journey many kids make trying to come to this country from Central America because of the impossibility of where they were born. — Tammy

\n

Minecraft: The Mountain: Will Summer survive? Will Guy come back to the Nether to save Summer? Now come and read this adventure packed book and see what happens to them and their relationship. — Tyler

\n

Caste: But perhaps there is also a fundamental framework, a super-structure, that was created with absolute intent and clarity, that is then justified and allowed to exist on the poison of racism. — Jamie

\n

To Shake the Sleeping Self: I thought it was a great read; a travelogue of a 30 year old guy trying to find himself while on an epic bike journey that spanned two continents and a year and a half. — Tammy

\n

Four Thousand Weeks: We have what we get. It disappears at the same linear rate for all of us. Four Thousand Weeks is filled with ways to contemplate that limited time and what we want to do with it. — Jamie

I’ve been reading Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. The title comes from the fact that if you live to be 80, you’ll have had about 4,000 weeks. Technically it is 4,174 but that wouldn’t make a very good title for the book.

\n

I’m still just in the beginning of the book but as I pondered his focus on the finitude of our time, I couldn’t help but think of how to visualize this! I knew Shortcuts could do the math for me, and then I realized Charty could do the visualization.

\n\"Concentric\n\n

It strikes me as an interesting visualization. Something to ponder. 🤔

\n

However, I showed it to my family and they didn’t care for it much at all. The common theme seemed to be that “filling ones rings” is seen as a goal, something to look forward to, and filling these rings didn’t seem like a thing to look forward to. 😇

I’ve had “When Breath Becomes Air” sitting at our cabin for a while, but\ndecided to pick it up and read it on winter break. The book is a memoir\nby Paul Kalanithi told in two parts.

The second part is after his cancer diagnosis with stage IV\nlung cancer, which causes his death within 18 months.

I kept thinking back to Being\nMortal by Atul\nGawande. I’m sure it was in part because\nKalanithi, like Gawande, is a Doctor. The first part of the book had\nmany references to the Doctor’s perspective when diagnosing a patient\nwith a terminal illness. This book did too. Being Mortal is a very\ndifferent book, and one that I highly recommend reading, but this\ntouched on similar topics with a more personal perspective.

\n

The other thing about this book was more personal. It reminded me in so\nmany ways of the path of my friend David Hussman, who passed away\nearlier this\nyear.\nHe had the same diagnosis, stage IV lung cancer. I’m pretty sure he even\nhad the same EGFR mutation and received similar treatments. Similar to\nKalanithi, he did remarkably well for a long while after getting\ntreatment. Enough that you could kind of forget a bit. But the cancer is\njust held back a bit. I was wishing I would have read this book when I\ngot it, as it would have given me some deeper perspective when talking\nwith David.

\"Finding\nWinnie\"

\n

Tyler got Finding Winnie for Christmas this year and it’s a really awesome book. If your kid has any affinity to Winnie-the-Pooh they will love this book. Even if they don’t, it’s still a great book. Really well done and one of the better books for a bedtime story. Recommended!
