For years, my husband and I have been devotees of motivational books and tapes. We have scores of them in our collection and have read and listened to many more. Previous, to No More Mondays, neither of us had ever read anything by Dan Miller. We won’t be making that mistake again.
It is one thing to find a book positively loaded with solid, up-to-date information as Miller’s book, it is another to find one as compulsively readable as No More Mondays. Filled with wonderful stories, and powerful anecdotes, this book delivers a motivational jolt.
Part of the attraction is that Mr. Miller is saying just what I want to hear. I’ve spent much of my life wishing I could be one of the many–those who rise dutifully each morning and head to the office where they laugh sociably with their colleagues, contribute brilliantly at every meeting, and receive a regular paycheck. Unfortunately, like so many others, this round peg does not fit into that square hole
The traditional workplace is hostile territory for people like me–with nary a brain cell dedicated to left-brain activity. Miller says that the old workplace is disappearing, Good news! The real story, though, is that we right-brain, creative types will inherit the new one, where out-of-the box thinking and new untried methods will replace our current, antiquated system.
For years, we right brainers have found it difficult to be who we’re hard-wired to be, without apology. Many of us come from families full of left-brain traditionalist who not only don’t understand us but see us as patently defective. Dan Miller gives us permission to be ourselves and also supports and encourages our efforts to become more of who we are. Our time has come. Right brainers unite and rise victorious!
The upshot of the story is that my husband and I were both so inspired, that we have decided to pursue an idea we’ve had for some time for a $5 improvement for every kitchen in America–and beyond. “American Inventor” here we come! You just can’t ask any more from a book than that.
Armchair Interviews says: Right brainers–this book is for you.
