DESCRIPTION:
"Let me tell you a story" according to J. Jager. Have you ever experienced the magic of these words either as a listener or as a story teller? Stories are a great means to pass on knowledge, they are entertaining, educational, they instill moral values, and they connect. In his wonderful new book The Salmon of Knowledge Nick Owen certainly entertains us with his stories while passing on his knowledge about some life encompassing topics. Yet, he does so much more.Nick's stories serve many different purposes: they open up the mind for personal development, they give insight, they enable you to look bey. The Salmon of Knowledge Once again, Nick Owen has produced a remarkable and unique book of stories. Why unique? Well, rather like, Magic of Metaphor 2, he has interwoven the tales with more universal theories and with a smattering of Zen. And yet, this time, he has cleverly demonstrated, story by story, how it can best be used in service of one's work, life, shadow and self. This psychological and philosophical approach goes beyond the average book of stories and takes you into a new realm of understanding. In other words, it encourages introspection and just makes you think.
A compelling read as a coaching, leadership development or personal development aide. May it lighten your way as well. A wake up call, an opportunity to stop, consider, and evaluate how we can truly be delivered through a series of insightful, timeless and often humorous stories, anecdotes and observations. It brought me joy, and quiet illumination. --Adrian Machon, Executive & Leadership Development, GlaxoSmithKline.Another fabulous collection of short stories that anybody who is serious about transforming their lives, workplaces, families, communities or even the world should not be without --Keith Bellamy, Independent Futurist . May it lighten your way as well. --Adrian Machon, Executive &
