Stripping the Dread from the Data - Naked Statistics
Stripping the Dread from the Data - Naked Statistics

Review:A well written introductory book on a topic as feared as statistics is something worth looking at. It's not an academic book, but it's a very nice first read for someone who will take any statistics course, or maybe just have an urge to learn more about statistics but doesn't want to get into all that math from the beginning. Here you'll learn broad concepts and uses. Read more

Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior

Review:Much of this material is available elsewhere, but never in such an engaging style. Well-written, always on topic, full of intruiging research, and easy to digest, Sway is hard to put down. It's a quick read that makes you think. Read more

and Live Your Passions - Defy the Status Quo
and Live Your Passions - Defy the Status Quo

Review:I thought the book was superficial and the reference to the Matrix was as if the writer had no original thought. He used the quotes to the Matrix as if it would make his writing more thought provoking. I didn't appreciate the thinking that there is this magic formula to success and if you don't follow it you're a failure. Success is not guaranteed nor is the definition of success the same for everyone. Failure is not a bad thing!..so enjoy the ride of life. I do appreciate the effort from the ... Read more

The Art and Science of Prediction
The Art and Science of Prediction

Review:The book helped to put structure to everyday analysis. Often I would do one or two of the methods in the book but not with a strong focus on my process. I think in the end, I will now approach problems with a consistent level of rigor. Read more

Can Make a Positive Difference - How Anyone
Can Make a Positive Difference - How Anyone

Review:I expected more from this book. The few examples for how one can lead without a title were helpful, but it left me wanting more. Not only in examples was it lacking but in material of how to go about it. I was also disappointed in the lack of spiritual content. I believe many examples could have been mined from scripture, but not even the most obvious ones were mentioned. Perhaps that was in an attempt to not be Biblical; I don't know. I understand when authors want to appeal to non-Christians t... Read more
