1.Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by: David Allen December 31, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $15.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.00 You Save: $6.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $5.95
As with most books like this, a great deal of the content is common sense. But as is always the case with me, formalizing it and explaining it is always what I need. He explains the natural thought process of a project in order to help you get a grasp of what things need to be done in order to achieve your outstanding goals. He explains why you can't ever relax because you have so much to do, and how to get over that stress so that you can relax during those times you want to relax! He gives you a system, which you can use as-is or tailor to your personal taste, that essentially guarantees that nothing gets lost, everything gets done and puts you in control. I know it sounds like an ad, but as I started with, the content is true and makes ... Read More

2.A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, Third Edition (PMBOK Guides) by: Project Management Institute 2004-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $49.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $31.47 You Save: $18.48 (37%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $23.73
Hands down, this is THE worst-written book of any kind, ever. My brain totally objects to reading sentences such as, "The project manager will have to be careful that the project manager does not make mistakes that will make it difficult for the project manager to manage the project." Think I'm kidding -- hey, no one could make this stuff up. After reading three or four sentences in a row like this, I was ready to fall off my chair, or else go beat my head against the wall. And who came up with the title: "Book of Knowledge". Sounds almost religious, or else like something they'd come up with in a Star Trek movie. Sheesh. Get it because you have to, but get thee -- quick -- to additional guides to help yourself pass the PMP exam.

3.Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Voices That Matter) by: Garr Reynolds January 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $29.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $19.79 You Save: $10.20 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $19.81
I had finished Garr's book in 2 days. I found it inspiring, motivating and well designed. The book is an easy read with good example slides, designs and lots of useful references. I suggest this book to everyone who wants to improve the effectiveness of their presentations.

4.The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures by: Dan Roam March 13, 2008
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: $10.99
Typically I don't buy many books-- we have a good local library, so I buy only those that are 1) very interesting and 2) worth referring to later. This book is both. It is marketed as a book that shows how to develop business presentations by drawing the charts in front of the audience rather than relying on pre-made PowerPoint slides. Anyone, however, who needs to learn how to display data to convince others (data visualization) will find this book useful. The good: it is an easy and fast read, with little jargon, and with good explanations of the various ways to display data. The chapter, "Frameworks For Showing," alone makes the book worthwhile to purchase. When do you use a timeline, or a flowchart, or a multivariable plot? This chapter explains all. The bad: the drawings, ... Read More

5.Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High by: Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler, Stephen R. Covey June 18, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $16.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.53 You Save: $5.42 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $7.62
This book was recommended to me by a friend who is a consultant. It is an amazing read. It really helps you understand that while some conversations are difficult to have, most are crucial and should not be avoided. It gives you real tips and tools as well as an index for quick reference in the back of the book if you are looking to find something quickly after you've read it. Highly recommend this book if you are interested in learning more about the dynamics of important conversation.

6.Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In by: Roger Fisher, William L. Ury December 01, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $15.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $10.20 You Save: $4.80 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.92
I wasn't about to read the book at all until my Proffesor demanded his students to do the assignment to read and write 10 great ideas about the containts of the book. I found a lot of examples the author uses to imply a negotiation in our life, and especially on business. I haven't finished reading it but planned to do it.

7.The Answer: Grow Any Business, Achieve Financial Freedom, and Live an Extraordinary Life by: John Assaraf, Murray Smith May 20, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $25.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.13 You Save: $8.82 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $15.42
Phenomenal!!! "The Answer, Grow Any Business, Achieve Financial Freedom, & Live an Extraordinary Life' by John Assaraf & Murray Smith is an impressive book about money, success, & happiness, written by a featured teacher of 'The Secret' along with his co-author who has created multi-million dollar companies. This book answers many important questions that you may have about creating a successful business, especially the question of paramount importance 'how am I going to make money in my business?' Step-by-step,clear, easy to follow instructions. Another book I recommend is a fantastic New Age Novel I've recently discovered, called "Nexus" by Deborah Morrison & Arvind Singh, Nexus: A Neo Novel

9.The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization by: Peter M. Senge March 21, 2006

I won this book in a lottery and it was on my bookshelf for several years. I thought it would be one of those repetitive bestsellers about management and leadership, so common in this genre. Belonging to this genre, this book could not escape its being repetitive, but the content far outweighed this minor flaw. It was mainly about systemic thinking or systems theory, which is the 5th discipline. I had read about systemic thinking (in a text book by Adalberto Chiavenato), but very superficially. He only made the reference that the organizations are systems similar to living organisms, in the sense that they interact with their environment. In this book you can find the main structures of systems that scientists have discovered, exemplified with good metaphors and helpful drawings and diagrams: Read More
