Getting Naked

My Rating: 4/5

This was a very easy read – it was a fictional story with some lessons to be learned from it. There was a list of principles that the main character learned from a fictional consulting company. There were 3 categories:

• Fear of Losing Business
• Fear of Being Embarrased
• Fear of Feeling Inferrior

For me personally, I could relate very easily to the Fear of Being Embarrassed. This category contained 3 principles:

• Ask dumb questions
• Make dumb suggestions
• Celebrate your mistakes

These were things that I realized I’ve been hesitant to do. After reading this book, I was able to quickly put these principles into action – and with success, also.

My favorite quote came from the Introduction,

Without the willingness to be vulnerable, we will not build deep and lasting relationships in life.

I like this style of business book – fables that you can learn from.
