Luscious lingo definitions

Example of how we would use it at Luscious:
“Wouldn’t it be fantastic to own one of those Chanel surfboards and have a hot surfing instructor to teach you how to use it?”

Here’s a fantastic little story:
If Gidget did Chanel... (Chanel surfboards) on the Hip & Healthy > Body page

Definition from the Oxford Dictionary:

Luscious loves...Malcolm Gladwell

We absolutely love Malcolm Gladwell and wish we could download everything from his brain onto a memory stick and plug it into our own brains.

He collects fascinating insights into the way we think, how society behaves and the way things change. Great for your business and your personal life.

It promotes intellectual thought, not pop psychology-schmalzy-Anthony Robbins-mumbo jumbo. The guy writes for The New Yorker, for heaven's sake - see the archive here.

These books are MUST READS. For everyone. Seriously. Don't hold back.

Visit his official website and or get an overview from Wikipedia.

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking

Outliers: The Story of Success

What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures

Watch Malcolm being interviewed on The Hour via YouTube, talking about "Outliers" and how to create success:

Another way to improve your mind and change your thinking comes from Tim Brown's book, "Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation". Tim is the CEO of global design consultancy, IDEO.

From the official blurb: "this is a book for creative leaders seeking to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization‚ product‚ or service to drive new alternatives for business and society."

More ideas from Tim through his blog, Design Thinking.
