Any Suggestions for a reading?

[eqjohnso]

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.

I actually just picked up "4 Hour Work Week" this week...so far so good!

The EMyth by Michael Gerber

"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

By: William C. Davis

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 !

Dand MJ you can multi task! Driving to Vegas and seed reading at the same time. Better slow down there.

Highly recommend it.

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

 

[Jeffs07]

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

Just finished reading "The World is Flat" by Tom Friedman, today!

Its a must read of over 500 pages, it will penetrate my to 20 book list.

M Scott Peck is still #1 - The "Road"

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!
