Eerily, you happened to have just picked up a book two weeks prior, again, dissecting the same issue. It started with the book from Arianna Huffington, Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder. It’s a message, folks! Are you hearing it?

You need to look on your books as your very own window on the health and well being of your business. So, now you know why you need to keep books, but how do you go about it. This would mean you need an extra couple of books for this alone, and can lead to making the whole issue far more complex.

MARCH 3, 2013

My last post was about what I was devouring in books, music, and film. Surely, as executive assistants we may feel this way when we have to do all the boring stuff - filing, expenses, travel, calendaring, and phones. A book that relates to finding meaning in your personal life really struck a cord with me recently.
