How to be a Coffee Bean: 111 Life-Changing Ways to Create Positive Change (Jon Gordon)

Short and simple 1-2 minute read a day to improve your attitude or approach to life.

Jon Gordon and Damon West have done it again. Another winner!! This follow up to The Coffee Bean is a must read. It has 111 practical and easy methods to implement that will add positivity to your life and others as well. If you haven’t already read The Coffee Bean, be sure to get both books and read The Coffee Bean first. I have shared The Coffee Bean with my entire team and I will be doing the the same with How to be a Coffee Bean.

I was fortunate to grab a copy of their first book The Coffee Bean when Damon West tweeted that he left some signed copies at a bookstore near my house. I immediately jumped in my car and purchased the few copies he had left to have one for myself and share with a few friends. It left a great impact as I read it and immediately shared my copy with my kids as well. When they asked for volunteers to be on their preview team, I jumped at the chance. This version follows up the powerful lesson of the first book with 111 practical tips that will inspire you to leave and impact on those around you and influence your environment. I can’t wait to share the copies I bought with family and friends. Do yourself a favor, Smile, buy a couple of copies since you will want to surround yourself with other people who want to be coffee beans as well.

Outstanding book. Very fast and easy read. All of our young people should read this book!

Sometimes where we are is a very uncomfortable place and we don’t have the option to leave. This book gives simple ways to transform the environment around you by the things you choose to do. It’s helpful.

This is a great follow-up book to The Coffee Bean. It is short and can easily be read in one sitting. Then, the key is go to back and put into practice each of the ways to create positive change. With 111 ways, pick and choose the ones you want to focus on daily, weekly or even month. This is an ideal book to use with teams and with coaching groups.

Loved all the advice tips! Passing it on to my Husband so we can be Coffe beans together.

This is another great supporting and encouraging book from these authors. Though the 111 ways presented are brief, they require reflection and action to see the desired change. Each could be a book in and of itself and certainly worth that much reflection. When I need a moment to pause I read one of these and be present in my reflections which keeps my focus on the positive.
