'The Surrender Experiment helped me get rid of my fear of the unknown': Rania Laing
Executive coach and trainer with The Change Associates, Rania Laing tells us how the book changed her course of life
Great By Choice by James C. Collins and Morten T. Hansen.
The Surrender Experiment (by Michael A. Singer) has played an important role in how I have worked through my fear of the unknown to get to a place where I am open to opportunities. I read it just before being made redundant from a long-term position in a big company. After being let go, due to this book, I surrendered and said yes to everything that came my way. It taught me that surrender and trust is a greater force than trying to take control of everything in life with power and rational thinking. It taught me how much I will never know about life and that it's alright.
I loved books by Roald Dahl as a child, and the fantastic illustrations by Quentin Blake. George's Marvellous Medicine was a particular favourite. I remember making my own magic potion, something they now warn readers against with a disclaimer.
I love reading about Buddhist teachings. I am fascinated by the similarities between this ancient wisdom and the new discoveries in positive psychology and neuroscience.
"When [what you are deeply passionate about, what you can be best in the world at and what drives your economic engine] come together, not only does your work move toward greatness, but so does your life. For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work. Perhaps, then, you might gain that rare tranquility that comes from knowing that you've had a hand in creating something of intrinsic excellence that makes a contribution. Indeed, you might even gain that deepest of all satisfactions: knowing that your short time here on this earth has been well spent, and that it mattered." - Good to Great by Jim Collins
