Tony Robbins Awaken the Giant, I believe....from MJ's list Very long book and a lot of concepts to remember, but I find myself going back to them and rehearsing them throughout the day.
I read about this one here (can't recall who recommended it) and I bought it a couple of days ago.

The Personal MBA: Master The Art Of Business by Josh Kaufman
How is it?
I think it's great...It talks about Value creation & delivery, the difference between marketing & sales, the human mind, creating prototypes, a lot of things. The author basically wants you to start with his book, and he's directs you to like 19 other books that he insists that if you read all of them that you will have the knowledge of a MBA graduate. He doesn't have a MBA, but he did go to business school, and worked on major campaigns at Proctor & Gamble.
I'm on a 3-Book Diet this year! This is an interesting concept that I learned about this from Chris Brogan. Rather than read a ton of books and get just a little out of all of them. I am going to read, and re-read 3 books all year, master the concepts and apply them to my business.
Here's my list:
- Start With Why? How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone To Take Action by Simon Sinek
- Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
- This Might Not Work by Seth Godin (aka - Watcha Gonna Do With That Duck?)
Think and Grow Rich is a tough one. Pretty dry.
CEBenz, agreed, but the message has been key to my success as an entrepreneur.
What have you got out of it? I hear a lot about Tony robbins that he is a feel good person only. I want to know if there is something practical in his book.
Fiction: Atlas Shrugged - can't believe I've never read this book before. It's like reading the newspaper nowadays!
And I usually have a non-fiction book running at the same time, but not this time. Atlas Shrugged is real enough!
