Step Count

Step Count

I don’t obsess about how many steps I take each day. I do like to see how many I have taken, just because I’m interested.

I’ve looked at my stats for the last three years!

The Slight Edge
really liked it
The Slight Edge
by Jeff Olson
I really enjoyed the message from The Slight Edge at first - the idea of self-improvement, routines and being the person who is bothered to do things. But it actually became really draining by the end. I was lying in bed reading it and f...

did not like it
Happy: Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine
by Derren Brown
I just couldn't get into this. I enjoyed the first chapter and then struggled on for a few chapters but couldn't finish the book. It didn't make me happy in the slightest.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

It's been a long time since I read this and I have loved reading this with my daughter. Helping her discover the books for the first time is magical to watch. She loved making predictions and then working out the connections and she was ...

My Awesome Guide to Getting Good at Stuff: World Book Day 2020
by Matthew Syed
Really enjoyed this. Aimed at children and inspiring them to never give up and dispelling the myth that you are born with talent, it highlights the importance of effective practice in a child friendly way. I intend to buy a few more copi...

A Pocketful of Holes and Dreams
by Jeff Pearce
This book was a joy to read. It is so uplifting to read a book about someone with such optimism and drive. Sure, he has had some good luck along the way, but it was inspiring to read such an honest life story.

The Leadership Factor
it was amazing
The Leadership Factor
by Drew Povey
I really enjoyed this - practical leadership advice, written in a realistic style. The analogies from business are actually purposeful and you can see how they apply to school leadership. Although, to be fair, this book would be useful f...
The Rules of Management
really liked it
The Rules of Management
by Richard Templar
I really enjoyed this. I guess I only didn't give it five stars as lots of things were more suited to industry than education. But that's not the author's fault. A great book.

Leadership: The Multiplier Effect
by Andy Cope
I didn't find this quite as inspiring as I should have. Andy's book The Art of Brilliance is so inspiring that I hold high hopes for every other book of his. I found that the messages in Leadership were sometimes lost in the thousands of...
