Business & Money
Review:The 5 lessons a millionaire taught me about life and wealth is a great book, especially for those just starting out in this money driven world.
I'm about to go to college, and I already know I am going to start out in the real world with a lot of debt. Using the easily understandable
bullet pointed lessons, I feel more confident I'll be able to get out of that and hopefully become a little wealthy. And, by wealthy, I learned
that I just don't want to have to worry so much about money. I... Read more
Review:Switch takes an ancient metaphor that Jonathan Haidt uses in "The Happiness Hypothesis" and elaborates on it for an entire book. Using plenty of real-life examples and up-to-date research references, Chip and Dan Heath provide a pattern that can be readily followed to help people and organizations make changes -- in themselves, their places of work, an industry or in entire countries.
The Heaths' focus on one aspect of human nature that we all share and we all sometimes struggle with in ... Read more
Review:A fascinating book on innovation, natural monopolies and their eventual downfalls. Great to read from front to back. Would be great to have an updated version that compares the predictions/suggestions in the final chapter (regarding electric vehicles) with what is happening with Tesla Motors and the wider electric vehicle market.

Review:The point of greatest peril in the development of a high-tech market lies in making the transition from an "early market" dominated by a few visionary customers to a "mainstream market" dominated by a large block of customers who are predominantly pragmatists in orientation, according to Geoffrey Moore in the third edition of this book. The gap between early and mainstream markets is what the author refers to as the "chasm", and many entrepreneurial businesses have fallen into it.

Review:Jared knows his stuff because he shares from personal experience!! I wish this book would have been available before I started podcasting. What's learned through this book will put people ahead of the game, and a must-read for podcasters of any level!! Read more
Review:This book is an interesting take on an old theme. Chris made self help relatable to a group who is mostly overlooked by other authors in the genre. His unique approach activates the "nerdist" tendencies of most geeks and makes them motivators for positive change. It jumpstarted me to make a new budget and work to get healthier. I recommend this to any geek/nerd looking for a new direction. Read more

Review:This is such a great book. My boss introduced me to it and I have already read it twice. I may pick it up again this week since it's been a while. We give it to our customers as a gift and I know they come to love the story too. Anyone can relate t a person going on a retreat and not really being "in" to the concept of a retreat. Thru the story, you see this man come around to the discover of what leadership really is about. I highly recommend it for any age group or career background.

Review:I thought the author outlined very eloquently the challenges for transitioning into a new leadership position. There were great examples to highlight the points being articulated. It is an easy fast read for busy people like myself. I appreciate that charts and forms were included. It would be helpful if those forms were available for printing or downloading. It would also be helpful if the examples were from education or government, as many readers may not be in corporations. Read more
