JOLT! by Phil Cooke

In JOLT!, Phil Cooke, reveals 25 "jolts" anyone can use in both their professional and their personal life. These are divided into groups under 5 sub-headings: 'Jolt Your Direction', 'Jolt What Matters', Jolt Your Potential', 'Jolt Your Heart', and 'Jolt Your Future'. Cooke, a well-respected television producer, commentator, and
social media guru presents ideas that can make a difference in how one approaches all decisions in life. Not only does he explain how to bolster confidence and make the most of your potential, but shows how to leave a lasting legacy that makes an eternal difference in the lives of others.

I loved the easy, conversational-style approach he used in writing this book. Each section was small enough that I wasn't overwhelmed by information, but could soak in what was being said and mull over how I could apply these methods to my own life. Cooke is upfront about his Christian faith and values influencing his worldview, but does not try to force them on others. As a fellow believer and follower of Jesus, I love that he incorporates this into the book, but I feel that others will find this book to be of equal value and respectful of different beliefs. This is a book that I will highly recommend, especially to those just beginning their careers and families. It needs be be on your MUST READ list if you have a business. I have reached an age where I regret more of the things I never did than I do the mistakes I made, and I believe JOLT! offers sage advice that a person will hopefully learn sooner rather than later.
