Childhood Firsts
Jim Gillmore, author of The Experience Economy said in an interview that the first childhood book you can remember will say alot about who you are today. His example was Stop, Look and Listen. I’m not familiar with the book and can’t find it anywhere on the web, but in his words, he shared how his work as an author and researcher is extremely influenced by those three core practices.
Without going to crazy with that statement, take it at face value and consider it. Have you ever thought about the first childhood book you remember. Not your favorite, but the first one? They might be the same but not necessarily.
What’s the first book that comes to mind? Does it say anything unique about who you are today or vice versa? what about other “firsts? “ Ever think about all the firsts you remember from your childhood?
