Carrie & Danielle’s 4 Most Frequently Recommended Books:
We’ve referred them to hundreds of clients and made countless gifts of these books.

WEALTH + SERVICE
Good To Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… And Others Don’t
By Jim Collins

Do you know your “Hedgehog Concept?” We do – and it’s the foundation of all of our business development. It is a deceptively simple and powerful guide for navigating, based on three questions:
1) What can you be the best in the world at?,
2) What drives your economic engine?, and
3) What are you deeply passionate about?

We think this can be applied to individuals and entrepreneurs as well as groups and big businesses.

If an idea or strategy is in line with our Carrie & Danielle Inc. Hedgehog, we do it. If it isn’t, we leave it. It’s that simple. Not necessarily painless, but simple (so many great ideas…such a clear focus).

Collins’ site has some fantastic, free resources.

SPIRIT + LEARNING
Ask & It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Your Desires
By Esther & Jerry Hicks

Before there was The Secret, there was Ask & It Is Given. Out of all the classically new age stuff we’ve read (and we’ve read plenty of it), this is the most precise and simplified text on the laws of manifestation. It’s channeled material, but never mind that because this is good information about creating the life you deserve. We regularly receive thank you emails from clients for referring them to this book.

RELATIONSHIPS + COMMUNICATION
The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: a Practical Guide from the Country’s Foremost Relationship Expert
By John M. Gottman

You don’t need to be married or to be in a rocky relationship to greatly benefit from this book. This is scientific evidence and common sense about what brings people closer together and what comes between them and good love. It has enriched our lives tremendously.

John and Julie’s site also has some wonderful resources.

CREATIVITY + CELEBRATION
The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity
By Julia Cameron

Redefine what creativity and self-expression means to you. This book is a journey for everyone in every stage of life.
