On this page of each episode, you'll find a description of the book. This will allow you to quickly see if the book is relevant to what you want to learn, and help you decide if you want to invest the 12 minutes to watch the video.

Here is the description for "Influencer", a book that we believe is relevant to everybody.

Whether you're a CEO, a parent, or merely a person who wants to make a difference, you probably wish you had more influence with the people in your life. But most of us stop trying to make change happen because we believe it is too difficult, if not impossible. We develop complicated coping strategies when we should be learning the tools and techniques of the world's most influential people.

But this is about to change. From the bestselling authors who taught the world how to have Crucial Conversations comes Influencer, a thought-provoking book that combines the remarkable insights of behavioral scientists and business leaders with the astonishing stories of high-powered influencers from all walks of life. You'll be taught each and every step of the influence process-including robust strategies for making change inevitable in your personal life, your business, and your world. You'll learn how to:

• Identify a handful of high-leverage behaviors that lead to rapid and profound change.
• Apply strategies for changing both thoughts and actions.
• Marshall six sources of influence to make change inevitable.

You can download the summary of this book here. The file is large, so please be patient as it downloads to your device (it's worth the wait!).

The second step in the LEMA learning method you will put the new ideas you just learned into action. Aristotle once said, "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." Although we weren't there to ask him, it's likely he meant that learning concepts and theories are a good start, but only by putting them into action do we actually find out what we are truly made of.

In the third step of the LEMA learning method you will memorize the mental model you learned from this summary. Although are taught many subjects throughout our lives, utilizing the full power of our memory isn't one of them. However, using the principles found in the summary of "Moonwalking with Einstein", you will create your very own memory palace so that you have instant access to your newfound ideas anywhere, anytime.

In the last step of the LEMA learning method you will learn how to turn this new learning into action. The key here is to determine your next steps, and then follow through. According to the author of Do More Great Work, here are the probabilities of completing a goal you set for yourself:

- 10% if you hear an idea (watching or reading this summary);
- 25% if you decide to do it (committing to an action from the workbook);
- 40% if you decide when you are going to do it;
- 50% if you plan how you are going to do it;
- 65% if you tell someone how you are going to do it;
- 95% if you set up a time to report back to that person on how you did.

So, you need to decide when and how you will put this model into action, tell somebody that you are doing it (preferably a close friend or colleague) and then set up a time to follow up on the action.

Remember, you need to do this NOW if you want to make a permanent change!
