“Principles” clearly articulates through an approachable prose, Ray’s precise and systematic way of evaluating and making decisions.

Ego Is the Enemy
Ego Is the Enemy

Review:If you are a fan of Ryan's work, you'll love Ego is the Enemy.

It is filled with stories, quotes, and anecdotes that offer actionable advice that I'm certain is relevant to anyone, no matter their age, experience, or industry.

There are few writers out there that I think weave together such a vast array of tales in a compelling way to drive home points that are often viewed as being uncomfortable.

This book will definitely challenge you and I hope you enjoy as much as I have... Read more

The First Half of 'The Book of the New Sun' - Shadow & Claw

Review:I see some negative reviews below this one and frankly, I'm stunned. There never has been, and never will be, a smarter piece of speculative fiction written than Gene Wolfe's masterful series. The book influenced me so strongly as a young author that to this day I pay homage to it. People ask me why I call horses "Destriers" in Guns of Seneca 6. Book of the New Sun. In fact, the rare metal that all of the m... Read more

The 33 Strategies of War (Joost Elffers Books)
The 33 Strategies of War (Joost Elffers Books)

Review:This book offers a very Machiavellian look at strategy, with an ethos of "the end justifies the means" and the attitude that anything anyone is ever trying to achieve is a war, and can benefit from the perspective of these "rules of war" - a very neutral, objective analysis of the strategies' effectiveness, without regard for their morality, hence an often disturbing book. Valuable perspectives, but one would have to be sociopathic to implement all these strategies. Read more

A 5-Step Plan for Achieving Your Most Important Goals

Review:I’m a huge fan of Michaels Hyatt’s work. I’m a free focus planner user, a BYE alumn for two consecutive years and a regular listener of his podcast. This book is like a compilation of the BYE course combined with the full focus planner metodology, a lot of the same examples and testimonials. I was expecting more new learning material and ideas. I you haven’t try the BYE course this is a great book for you. Read more

How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter - Multipliers

Review:I have never seen a book pull together so much research and comprehensive management thinking into such a succinct, balanced and life-changing premise. This book explained why some managers are good bosses and some are bad bosses without resorting to the old explanation that a manager isn't a leader or vice-versa. Truly ground-breaking and a must read for anyone who wants to know how to make a difference in their circle of life. Read more
