    Default Any Suggestions for a reading?

    I remember when I was younger I had to read an autobiography/biography about a certain man for one of my history classes. I became truly inspired by what he did, and what he went through to get what he wanted. Anyone had any really good reads in the past that they would recommend?

    Hi,

    I just came across ur thread today as I just joined today.

    I do have a very good book if you are into trading (stocks, forex, etc)

    It is based on a true life person but there is some fiction in the book as well.

    It is called "Ugly Americans"- I cannot remember the author but heard that it will be

    made into a movie soon.

    Very exciting read.

    "Made to Stick" by Chip Heath & Dan Heath

    Takes "The Tipping Point" to the next level. It's going to change how I write sales copy.

    "The 7 Hiabits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey was a good one.

    Also, "Who moved My Cheese?" was a great short read but very insightful!!

    Here's a good one that is outside of the typical stuff we folks read, but excellent none-the-less if you like biographical type books:

    Three Roads to the Alamo: The Lives and Fortunes of David Crockett, James Bowie, and William Barret Travis

    I read a few chapters on the way to Vegas and so far it is very very good. Definitely gives the writer/copywriter/marketer great insight on how to create campaigns that stick and have the propsenity to go viral.

    Speed+ Diane for the good recommendation !

    I just finished reading a real good book by Jon Huntsman called "Winners Never Cheat"...

    Highly recommend it.

    "The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas; not for the light hearted. May be considered the opposite of self-help

    "Whats your dangerous idea?" Not business oriented but very good for building abstract thinking and generally expanding your perception.

    I am currently reading "How to Talk to Anyone" by Leil Lowndes. It's a fabulous book that gives pointers on how to network more effectively. All these "tricks" are so easy (Which means easy to forget too, right?) I highly recommend it.

    I also just finished "Swim with the Sharks without being Eaten Alive." Again, a book I am raving about. You can see my comments on my blog.

    An old favorite of mine is "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. Again, here's a book with easy to do, easy not to do tips and suggestions.

    To all of you, let me know what you thought of these books if you have read them. I would enjoy a dialog!
