Three books to read in 2021

It’s a good time to catch up on your reading, so we’ve talked to our members and here are their recommendations for reads in 2021:

Company of One by Paul Jarvis

(available on Amazon in hardback, audiobook and Kindle)

The book’s author; Paul Jarvis, left the corporate world when he realised that working in such a stressful, unforgiving, high-octane environment was not his idea of succeeding. He took the plunge to work from home, and now lives a happier, more rewarding life. His working life is now on his terms instead of someone elses.

More than one of our space282 members read this book, here’s what they said:
”I really enjoyed this book, it gives a different perspective on growing a business, we often think to take on staff is the only way we can expand and grow the business. After reading this book I have questioned adding more people, do I really need to? I’m glad I took the same leap, I think I am happy being a company of one.”

Letter To My Younger Self : The Big Issue Presents... 100 Inspiring People on the Moments That Shaped Their Lives by Jane Graham and The Big Issue

(available on Amazon in hardback, paperback, audiobook and Kindle)

An incredible book written over a ten year period by some of the most well-known people The Big Issue could think of. From Paul McCartney, Olivia Colman, Mo Farrah, Eddie Izzard, and more, hear what they would wish to say to their younger selves…

What our members say:

“This was a fascinating and inspiring read, really enjoyed reading what these iconic people had to say. It makes you realise that anything and everything is possible, as long as you put your mind and hard work to it.”

Hegarty on Creativity: There are No Rules by John Hegarty

(available on Amazon in hardback and Kindle)

One of the world’s most famous advertising creatives brings us a book of humour, creative enlightenment, and inspiring insights into the creative process.

What our members say:

“This was brilliant for helping to inspire me when coming up with branding ideas, engaging copy and how to attract customers/clients. I remember seeing John Hegarty speak live at a literary festival and when asked what he thought was the best use of branding, he answered ‘catholicism’! Hegarty’s an original thinker, I read this and was excited to get to work with ideas.”
