An Informal Education in Business and Life (Miniature Editions)

Review:The content of this book is great, but this is some sort of collectible, the size of your palm or a matchbox. The sellers should be penalized by Amazon for not putting that detail in the title (or AT LEAST the details). Buy the real book, unless you're seeking to fill the shelves of your dollhouse bookcase.

Review:One of the authors asked me to read & review this book.
It's a book about mindfulness, getting into the right habits, avoiding the wrong habits, addressing procrastination. It explains a lot of whys and has a bunch of how-to's and step-by-steps for you to follow to overcome certain things such as procrastination.
If you've never read anything like this before its a good place to start. If you've read something around this topic it covers things that you likely already have read and kno... Read more

Review:As if there was any doubt as to why Ray Dalio and Bridgewater have ascended to the ranks as the globes top fund....

“Principles” clearly articulates through an approachable prose, Ray’s precise and systematic way of evaluating and making decisions. His desire to immerse himself in radical transparency and the pursuit of meaningful relationships and self actualization is inspiring.

127 Small Changes to Improve Your Health - and Happiness

Review:I had to read this book 3 1/2 to 4 times before I felt that I was improving my life any. Others reviewers said they were already familiar with habit stacking. I was not. Although I soon realized that there were some habit stacks that I was doing automatically without calling them anything--like First Things in the Morning Stack and Last Things in the Evening Stack. After the first read, I began writing down procedures. Then I deleted them all because I had the sense that I was spending more... Read more

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
