Sustain the Fire of Inspiration in Work and in Life | Talks at Google

Talks at Google welcomes Jen Grace Baron, Allison Holzer & Sandy Spataro.

Inspiration is a most critical resource to be managed in modern work.

The problem is that the power of inspiration often feels fleeting. But what if you could design your own way to be inspired at work on a regular basis? What if you could make your own inspiration last?

Rooted in 18 engines of inspiration that emerged from interviews with leaders across different industries, Dare to Inspire shows how to supercharge inspiration for yourself, your team, and your organization. Each chapter offers tools, strategies, and examples of how to make inspiration happen and last.

Through stories of pioneers in business, health, education, and other industries, readers learn how to effectively use the engines to spark inspiration, along with specific practices to sustain it. Dare to Inspire features Chef Wes Avila, the founder of L.A. sensation Guerrilla Tacos, who was inspired to revolutionize his industry; crowdfunding pioneer Charles Best, who founded DonorsChoose to meet the challenge of connecting teachers in need with donors interested in supporting educational programs; and many others. This will be a vital book for anyone interested in creativity, success, achievement, and happiness.

It’s simple lady: with inspiration you won’t complain, with reward you work harder.

One never inspires accidentally. Purposefully always.

Also a book that I read that this I think kinda ties in to a bit, but further down the chain.
“Hope rising” on the science of hope.

I’m totally sitting here after struggling to get my sleep cycle set up and thinking “I need better boundries there for my self because that zest that comes from sleep and the hope that comes from eating and exercise and inspiration that comes in too, I do those mundane things like stay focused on to-do lists and schedules, setting goals and creating the limits I need to do meaningful work based on my values which include creating hope and inspiration for others. No longer are we neglecting a habit and it only effects us, we value those limits and habits because of what they unlock us to spread.
