1.Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else by: Geoff Colvin October 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.59 You Save: $6.40 (32%) Prices subject to change.
This book is profoundly important because it provides detailed research-based insight into how and why certain people attain excellence in all fields of endeavor. The short answer is that one must work and practice quite hard for many years, ideally starting from a young age, in a deliberate way which involves continually stretching oneself. The effort is usually difficult and therefore often not fun, and so the motivation to push on must be fueled by a strong inner drive, perhaps aided by extrinsic factors such as encouragement, coaching, rewards, etc. Talent, intelligence, good memory, and other innate gifts may help, but they're not as vital as people commonly believe. But don't let my short answer suffice, or steer you to skip reading the book. The book is rich ... Read More

2.Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by: David Allen 2001-01
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $19.34
GTD is a great book. I've read it cover to cover. Now, I'm re-reading it slower and implementing many of David Allen's tips. I highly recommend the book for anyone struggling to keep up with their busy lives. This book will pay off for you. Buy it, read it, do it.

3.Robert's Rules Of Order Newly Revised In Brief (Roberts Rules of Order (in Brief)) by: Henry M. III Robert, William J. Evans, Daniel H. Honemann, Thomas J. Balch April 13, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $6.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.62
I bought this book to bring to the first meetings of a newly formed non-profit group. After reading it, not only did I find applications for the rules of order in the group but also at work, where a structured meeting that adhered to a certain time limit was greatly appreciated. Very good examples throughout the book and easy introduction to terminology. This is a survey book however, so don't expect extensive listings of rules or details.

5.The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick) by: Seth Godin May 10, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $12.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.76 You Save: $3.19 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $6.45
This is an interesting little book exploring a very important set of concepts. But despite the subtitle, it does a poor job of explaining when to quit and when to keep going. Godin's theory is clear enough. The book falls short on practical guidelines and specific, real-world examples that will help the reader decipher their own complicated situation. It's like an outline for a how-to book, without most of the content that would make it usable. I hope that Godin will develop his concepts in enough detail to make them teachable, and then write a second book that really does the job.

6.Go Put Your Strengths to Work: 6 Powerful Steps to Achieve Outstanding Performance by: Marcus Buckingham March 06, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $30.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $19.80 You Save: $10.20 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $4.35
`Go Put Your Strengths to Work' gives us six clear steps for increasing our personal productivity. Author, Marcus Buckingham, draws our attention to several myths, for example that as we age we improve in the areas we have always been weakest. In fact such a myth only perpetuates a tendency to focus on what we are not good at. Instead we should be shifting our time management to focus upon the areas where we work best Naturally, Buckingham's core piece of advice is that we will not be able to build our strengths if all we can see is what we are not good at. Once we truly clarifying our strengths we are better set to enter a workplace and soar. Not only that, but knowing exactly what you are good at and how to articulate it in a job interview is a fantastic advantage to have. [...]

7.Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable...About Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business by: Patrick M. Lencioni March 04, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $24.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.47 You Save: $8.48 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.40
The author tries to compare meetings with movies and to convince people that a meeting with conflicts is the most interesting one. His reasoning is that the reason people like to watch movies is conflict that a movie depicts. In reality, no one like to see conflicts happen to themselves, though they are fascinated with conflicts happened to others with which they have no relationship. However, that does not say that there is no way to deal with conflicts. Conflict is reality that exists in our daily lives. The constructive way to resolve conflicts is what the author describes in his another book, "Five dysfunctions of a team". People have egos. Inevitable conflicts can easily invoke ego to a level that destroys a team. Why? Because any solution to a conflict will favor one ... Read More

8.Presenting to Win: The Art of Telling Your Story by: Jerry Weissman February 09, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.55 You Save: $5.44 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $9.26
This book is an excellent tool. It focuses very specifically on effectively creating a business presentation. The tips were valuable to be and I have been creating presentations for several years. It will also be very easy to reference in the future.

9.Words That Work, Revised, Updated Edition: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear by: Frank Luntz August 05, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $15.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.85 You Save: $5.10 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $8.86
This book does have some unnecessary self-promotion and name dropping and may present certain political views you don't agree with. On the other hand there is a core to this book, one about how to use language to present your ideas in a way that will have the best chance of convincing people of them, that is very worthwhile. While it would have been a better book without the fluff around the core, it is still worth reading.

10.Think and Grow Rich from: High Roads Media March 15, 1987
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.95 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
The fundamentals that Napolean Hill wrote about are time tested and have yet to be matched for innovative and practical concepts. Well ahead of his time and the model for countless number of books since, why settle for a knock off when you can rely on the original genius of Mr. Hill.
