A look at culture, arts, extras and things we’re following this week.

LEGACY

Funny how reading a book about Rugby can help you succeed in business, while at the same time heighten your love of the game they plan in heaven! Author of Legacy, James Kerr, has achieved just that. This book goes through the highs and lows of the All Blacks, the most successful Rugby team ever, with a winning percentage of 76%. What are the secrets behind the triumphs of the All Blacks, by far the most consistently successful sports team in history over the past 100 years? This book takes you through 15 powerful lessons, which teach you how to be a better leader, whether that be in sport, family or business. A must read!

CHERNOBYL

This mini-series available on Foxtel tells the gripping & devastating tale of Chernobyl. You get to see the whole incident in its totality –the bureaucracy & corruption that led to the event, how the Soviet Union went about cleaning up this disaster & the effects across generations following. It’s so mind blowing to think about being confronted with this never-before-occuring situation & how little people knew of the damage and harm nuclear radiation could yield.
