Reviewed by Constance Stadler for Readers' Favorite
Top of Heart: How a New Approach to Business Saved My Life and Can Save Yours Too by Grant Muller is a book that upends formulaic get-rich-quick business models and the belief that professional interactions depend on calculated manipulation. Muller contends that success must center on forming authentic relationships, but this extraordinary book is about much more than professionalism; it is about how to live a rewarding life. Muller’s own story, detailing the steps that led to addiction and homelessness, where he relinquished every semblance of integrity, supports his conviction. His evident honesty makes the foundation of his 180-degree change, which leads to exceptional professional success, totally credible. The book demonstrates that leading by feelings or 'heartset' can be transformational.
Top of Heart includes several exercises where the reader can assess what feeling-driven business could mean for them. The results of Grant Muller’s commitment to being present in every interaction support immersion. His dedication to being there for others by being true to himself is a testament to why fulfilling productivity rests on genuine investment instead of the pro forma norm of 'what's in it for me.' Muller’s transparency demonstrates how a different mindset can lead to life-altering change. Against the backdrop of how he lived in a self-made hell and achieved recovery through tremendous effort, the dramatic subtitle of the book is not an exaggeration. Top of Heart is essential reading for those about to start a career and veterans who have anchored themselves in script-driven deceptions.

In Public Speaking with Confidence: How to Overcome Anxiety and Deliver Unforgettable Presentations, Philipp Humm details his journey from anxiety to proficiency in public speaking, offering practical techniques for others to follow. He champions "constructive embarrassment," encouraging deliberate engagement in embarrassing activities to desensitize oneself to social judgment, alongside methods for managing reactions and setting goals. Humm addresses self-limiting beliefs through narrative modification and visualization exercises and addresses the power of positive storytelling. The author introduces accessing the unconscious mind for anxiety relief, recommending relaxation techniques and emotional immersion. Drawing from speaking champions like Cyril Dim and Pauline Brown, he states the importance of thorough preparation, warm-up exercises, and strategies for audience engagement and handling challenges. Humm concludes with a post-speech practice for continual improvement, promoting gratitude, evaluation, and evolution.
Public Speaking with Confidence by Philipp Humm is the book I wish I'd had twenty years ago when I was faced with frequent public speaking, even if it was only with four other people, which to me was panic-inducing. Humm offers a practical guide packed with techniques to enhance speaking and presentation skills. I really liked how Humm emphasizes the power of storytelling and draws on actual research by Jennifer Aaker and Paul Zak to back up his points. If I had to choose one standout piece that truly sets this book apart, it is the emphasis on prioritizing the audience over internal anxieties. By shifting focus from self-doubt to audience engagement, Humm argues, speakers can significantly improve their impact. The writing is clear and accessible, making it easy for readers to grasp and implement the strategies outlined. There's no question that this is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their communication skills and deliver more effective presentations.

Steve Waddell's Valuepreneurs: The New Rules for Launching Products, Building Your Business, and Achieving Your Entrepreneurial Dreams begins with the importance of introducing innovative products that address consumer needs, sustainability, and societal impact while mitigating issues like fear of failure and funding limitations. He offers practical solutions, including fundraising strategies and risk management techniques, drawing from examples like Apple and GoPro. Waddell leans toward a Value-Driven Product Development (VDPD) process speaking on risk-taking and value creation, including steps like idea validation, customer discovery, and patent protection. Waddell weighs in on branding, regulatory approval, and marketing strategies such as social media leverage and comprehensive plans for successful product launches. Waddell discusses customer acquisition cost analysis, achieving product-market fit, and embracing storytelling for brand building, all while providing ample insights into business modeling, legal considerations, and continuous learning for entrepreneurial success.

In her eye-opening work, Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges, Michelle D Gladieux encourages us to take intelligent communication risks and grow as communicators. In her narrative, courage refers to the ability to face and address dysfunctional elements of communication in oneself and those we interact with.
