Summary

Nobody can deny that 2016 has been a weird year for the world, but it's been a good year for us in general. This week's episode is a run down of the things we have loved in the past twelve months. News this week Shock - as BTL is over (apparently). This news story has some pretty depressing statistics attached to it, and if you read just the first paragraph it's not great news! But (as you probably suspected) there's a bit more to this! The statistics used are not exactly thorough, with data coming from only one firm of estate agents. An excellent reminder of why we should always read beyond the headlines. Resource of the week This episode is really one long resource of the week list, so if that's your favourite part of The Property Podcast, then keep listening. Books Death by Meeting - Patrick Lencioni Titan Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. - Hatching Twitter by Nick Bilton The Slight Edge - Jeff Olson Speculator - Doug Casey Open - Andre Agassi Podcasts How I built this Conversations with Tyler London Fintech Podcast The Spectator podcast Apps Virgin Train App Pocket Instagram Kindle App - Word Runner Should I Answer? Franz Other Stuff Jet Skiing Billions & Narco’s - TV On Netflix – Tony Robbins “I am not your guru”, Supermensch - The legend of Shep Gordon No coffee! Meditation - 100 days Join the conversation What would make your 'Best of 2016' list? Have you checked out any of the suggestions The Robs mentioned?
