Sell or be Sold. How to get your way in business and in life. Grant Cardone.
Sell or be Sold. How to get your way in business and in life. Grant Cardone. 2012. ISBN 9781608322909. The author is every bit a salesman, and each page of this book contains a useful bit for sales. More of a Zig Ziglar type than a here’s my process author, Cardone presents an upbeat attitude and strategies that are bound to get a salesperson up and over the various obstacles they may face. His life stories and approaches are all useful, especially if you are a salesperson who sells with a story. I appreciated that his approach elevates and celebrates the role of salespeople in the world. A book for all salespeople to keep handy on their shelf.

The House of the Spirits. Isabel Allende.
The House of the Spirits. Isabel Allende. 1972. I am a fan of Allende’s work, even her early books. This is fiction based on fact around the intertwined fates of two families in an unnamed Latin country. I saw similarities to Argentia, Venezuela, El Salvador history. One family has beautiful, spiritual but tragic daughters and another has the rags to riches story of a son. This is all bound up in a showdown between capitalism and socialism, leading to a fascist state. The lives, love and eventual deaths of many protagonists are clearly laid out. Allende has a rich descriptive sensual style reminiscent of DH Lawrence. Easy to read and skillfully done.
