057: You+ vs. You 2.0 with MBS

Writing a book can be a lonely, scary, confusing business...and that's when it's going well. When it's going badly, it's much worse than all of that. Jenny and I have been friends for many years now and have been encouraging each other and exhorting each other on to write a book so it has been brilliant writing books with my Jenny as a friend.

So when I thought of who would be the small number of people who I'd love to preview my new book with and have a conversation, Jenny was just on a unmissable top of the list person, because she's been with me the whole way. We share 2 pages of my new book, How to Begin: Start Something That Matters.

More About MBS: Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of six books which between them have sold over a million copies. He’s best known for The Coaching Habit, the best-selling coaching book of the century and already recognized as a classic.
