Handbook inc.’s Success Super Book : a definitive Consolidation of 25 Perspectives to Guide your Future Success

1. Read about your industry and beyond.
“I spend an hour, usually after dinner, reading about my industry, 
related industries, current events and pop culture. I start with daily 
curation emails like Jason Hirschhorn’s REDEF series and then 
branch out. I bookmark and tag (first with Delicious, now with 
Evernote) posts that I like and might refer to later. When possible, 
I share these posts, along with a brief summary of my rationale for 
sharing, with my team or friends.

“THERE’S 
TREMENDOUS 
POWER AND OP-
PORTUNITY IN 
UNDERSTAND-
ING HOW SEEM-
INGLY UNRELAT-
ED TRENDS AND 
EVENTS WILL 
GO ON TO AF-
FECT THE WORK 
YOU’RE DOING.”
If nothing else, this process helps me remember the salient parts of 
the post and gives me time to explore how they fit into my larger 
view of things. This is my version of something Alvin Toffler wrote 
about that likened our world view to a filing cabinet in our brains; 
whenever new information gets presented to us, we catalogue and 
file it and then it goes on to inform our worldview in some small 
way. 
There’s tremendous power and opportunity in understanding 
how seemingly unrelated trends and events will go on to affect the 
work you’re doing.”

2. Keep a daily journal, but do it the right way.
“Most people use their journal to record events or to vent. But 
there’s so much more you can do with your journal and get 
immediate results in your life. Use your journal to write what you 
want your life to be. For years I’ve kept a journal to chronicle my 
life, plan for my dreams and strategize my goals. It is one of the 
important success habits that I do daily. Journaling empowers 
me to take my ideas and turn them into reality. What’s written 
is real. Once the words and images hit the paper, you have now 
crystallized a thought or idea. You can use the power of pen and 
paper to strategize and create anything you want. Journaling is one 
of the best methods of self-care therapy.
