Want a quick short read that'll give you many timeless lessons?

This book from one of the 20th century's great writers is a book you'll revisit multiple times in your life.

Here are my 5 favourite ideas from 'The Prophet' by Khalil Gibran

When love beckons to you, following him, through his way are hard and steep

Your joy is sorrow unmasked. When one is up the other one is asleep

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your inner thoughts and in much of your talking, thinking is half-murdered

Be in your pleasures like flowers and bees

Though in the winter you deny your spring, yet spring, reposing within you, smiles in her drowsiness and is not affected

Are you a high performer but feel that you've been stagnant?

This book from one of the best executive coaches on Wall Street gives you tips he's used to get high achievers to succeed

Here are my 10 favourite ideas from 'What Got You Here Won't Get You There' by

The big four reasons successful people are the way they are is money, power, status and popularity

The higher you go, the more your problems are behavioural

Winning too much is the number 1 reason successful people get held back

Anytime someone critiques your opinion, say 'thanks, I appreciate the feedback'

The root of problems in the workplace is information withholding, oversharing or emotion

When listening, engage in active listening and ask if it is worth it to interrupt someone

The ability to make a person feel that when you're with them, he or shes it he most important (and only) person in the room is a skill that separates the great from the near-great

'Listen, don't interrupt, don't finish the other person's sense, don't agree with the other person, don't use words no, but or however, don't be distracted, ask intelligent questions and don't prove how smart you are'

Successful people unequivocally always stack the deck in their favour

'To gain a friend, let him do you a favour' - Ben Franklin
