- The War of Art – Stephen Pressfield
- Made To Stick – Chip Heath and Dan Heath
- Switch – Chip Heath and Dan Heath
- The Talent Code – Daniel Coyle

- Practice Perfect – Doug Lemov
- The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business – Charles Duhigg
- Thinking Fast and Slow – Daniel Kahneman
Thanks for an amazing lecture in Stockholm!
It contained a lot of interesting information to go through, and several eye-openers for me.
For example the way you described that companies build their business model. First they identify needs/problems, then they create a solution, test it and THEN they create the product – but musicians start the other way around. That really explains my confusion when I’ve listened to all the Business start-up seminars I’ve attended lately : )
I’m also thankful for the tips on putting words on how we create value with music.
You kindly asked if you could hear some of my music, and if you have the time, please check out the music section of my website http//:www.grobemusic.com
If you want to pick one song to hear – choose “As the River Flows”, nr 2 in the second section.
I’ll follow your blog, it seems interesting!
All the best,
