	The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich Average Customer Rating: (12) Timothy Ferriss Price: CDN$ 10.00 (31 available) Tags: Motivation & Self-Improvement, Guides, General AAS
#Not for Everyone (2008-05-15) Like many of these books you have to realize this isn t for everyone and it will not work for most. On the other hand there are many handy ideas on offloading work you shouldn t be doing anyway. I know of other people who use elance. com for some of their copywriting and internet projects and the thought of having a personal assistant from India also sounds appealing. Since I am self employed this seems much more plausible than for an office worker to offload their work overseas and start taking more time out of the office. I would recommend this for a... #Loved it! (2008-04-21) This provides an amazing new outlook on life, I loved every minute of it. And its filled with useful practical information too. #A true how-to-book (2008-02-03) Without a question, this is a how-to-book. This book is packed with rsources and including the names of companies and their web site addresses and everything else you need to know to escape the 9 to 5 work week and become one of the newly rich. #Greed Ethic vs Work Ethic (2008-01-31) Being a time management nut, I thought I would find all kinds of tips on how to be more efficient. In reality, I found few. I may have a negative knee jerk reaction to this book because work ethic is one of my core values. This book is more about quick buck artistry than work ethic. Perhaps I am just stupid and choose the hard way to make a living. I also believe to be successful in business you need to be highly accessible and fast, so his idea of checking email only a couple of times a day goes against my grain. I believe in Crispness no... #Similar to many other books. (2007-12-16) Whilst a great book overall I have given this book 3 stars because in general its a rehash of parts of many, many other books already out there. I ve seen examples from Dan Kennedy s books, O Bryans Portable Empire book and some others. Concepts such as selling online, researching markets before finding products, finding a niche have all been covered so much by those authors that there is literally nothing new in some parts of the book. A lot of the book also seems to be promo. for his website. He constantly tells you to go there for furt...

	Strengths Finder 2.0: A New and Upgraded Edition of the Online Test from Gallup s Now, Discover Your Strengths with Other Average Customer Rating: (0) Tom Rath Price: CDN$ 7.99 (24 available) Tags: Motivation & Self-Improvement, Management, General, General AAS, Online Searching, Management, Business Development, General AAS
#Mirror, mirror on the wall.... (2008-02-03) You will probably find no head-snapping revelations in this book if you have already read Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman s First, Break All the Rules and/or Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton s Now, Discover Your Strengths (especially the latter). Nor does Tom Rath claim to offer any. Rather, this is a new and upgraded edition of the Gallup organization s previous online test (StrengthsFinder 1. 0) that enables those who take it to identify and measure their talents relative to more than 5,000 new personalized Strengths Insights that we ...

	Dip Average Customer Rating: (5) Seth Godin Price: CDN$ 6.60 (18 available) Tags: Motivation & Self-Improvement, Human Resources & Personnel Management, Motivational, Time Management, General, General AAS, General, General AAS, Applied Psychology, Success, Human Resources & Personnel Management, Motivational, General AAS
#30 minutes to avoid wasting 30 months or 30 years& (2008-07-07) This book reads in less than an hour for a slow reader. It is short but it addresses a fundamental issue: When to quit and when to persevere? Probably one of the most critical decisions in life. With simple graphs and illustrations by Hugh MacLeod, this book will help you clarify your thinking, especially if you feel stuck. #When to quit the wrong stuff at the right time (2008-01-26) It is impossible to ignore what Seth Godin has to say and how he says it. That s remarkable. In this small volume (only 80 pages and about the size of a greeting card), Godin shares some LARGE ideas, one of which is indicated in the title of my review. Here is a cluster of Godinesque assertions: All our successes are the same. All our failures, too. We succeed when we do something remarkable. We fail when we give up too soon. We succeed when we are the best in the world at what we do. We fail when we get distracted by ... #Quitters Never Win (2007-10-28) Winners never quit right? Well sometimes they do, but only at things that will hold them back from being more successful. Have you ever felt that something is just not worth going on with and it is time to look in a different direction? Well that is called the dip and if you aren t careful you could get stuck in the cul-de-sac of life with no significant advancement in any direction. So what should you quit and what should you stick to? That is up to you but reading this book will help you make those crucial decisions. Seth Godin s books are always catch... #Irresistible... (2007-09-13) I picked up Seth Godin s new book at Indigo and finished reading in less than 60 minutes. The 80 pages were insightful, brilliant, refreshing and real. It was soooo irresistible that I couldn t stop reading since I connected with every word he wrote. In my opinion, this is one of the best sentences of the whole book: Never quit something with great long-term potential just because you can t deal with the stress of the moment. Seth has remarkably impressed me again!!! #Keep Going Through the Dip to Become Number One, But Quit If Results Aren t Ever Going to Improve (2007-05-10) Do you remember starting something new that interested you? Chances are the world seemed a little brighter, a little more inviting, and your smile was a little wider that day. Now, remember how that same activity seemed after six months had passed. It s likely you weren t having as much fun, progress was hard to accomplish, and frustration was starting to build. That s what a dip feels like. That sequence is the normal experience and psychology of creating worthwhile results...

	What Got You Here Wont Get You There Average Customer Rating: (11) Marshall Goldsmith Price: CDN$ 15.99 (16 available) Tags: Motivation & Self-Improvement, Guides, Management, General, General AAS, Success, Management, Guides, Management, General AAS
#An invitation to obtain an exquisite sense of who you are (2008-04-18) This book is a great gift from Marshall Goldsmith to his reader. How so? In the Coda, he suggests this exercise: Imagine that you are 95 years old and ready to die. By then you (i. e. the reader) understand what is really important and what isn t, what matters and what doesn t. What advice would this wise `old you have for the `you who is [receiving the advice]? Take your time and answer the question on two levels: personal advice and professional advice. Jot down a few words that capture what the old you wou... #Finally - self help for successful people (2008-01-31) I read a book on the flight back from San Francisco that a friend recommended called, What Got You Here Won t Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith. I was particularly intrigue by the title because often self-help books say things like, If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got. My variation of that is. . . If you do what you have always done, you will go bankrupt. The reason self-help books express things in those words is that they are trying to appeal to people who don t think they are as succes... #Everyone needs this book (2007-11-11) Whether you are a leader, a manager, an entrepreneur, if you want to advance in your career and get some enlightenment along the way, this book is for you. In his fun and engaging style, Marshall tells it like it is. If you are successful, you probably have at least a few of the habits that Marshall mentions. That s OK, because using his process you can get them out of your way to accrue even more success. I am an executive coach who has used this process, both working directly with Marshall and his clients and with my own clients. I have seen... #Marshall is Simply the best (2007-11-02) I read all Marshall s book and this last one is absolutely the best. Ever time I see or think if Marshall, i remember all the great tips he has shared with me over the years to make me a better person and a better mamager. #Ladder Extension (2007-11-01) As a professional coach I read many of the current books on the topic. This book is exceptional. Whether you are a spouse, parent, or organizational leader this book will challenge you to climb a little higher. The book is lively and filled with wit and wisdom. It does come with a warning. If you are looking for a quick fix this is not the recipe. To follow Marshall s plan will take 12 -18 months.

	Now, Discover Your Strengths: How to Build Your Strengths and the Strengths of Every Person in Your Organization Average Customer Rating: (132) Marcus Buckingham Price: CDN$ 1.10 (46 available) Tags: Motivation & Self-Improvement, Guides, General, General AAS, Human Resources & Personnel Management, Management, Motivational, Human Resources & Personnel Management, Management, Motivational, Management, General AAS
Effectively managing personnel--as well as one s own behavior--is an extraordinarily complex task that, not surprisingly, has been the subject of countless books touting what each claims is the true path to success. That said, Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton s Now, Discover Your Strengths does indeed propose a unique approach: focusing on enhancing people s strengths rather than eliminating their weaknesses. Following up on the coauthors popular previous book, First, Break All the Rules, it fully describes 34 positive personality themes the two have formulated (such as Achiever, Developer, Learner, and Maximizer) and explains how to build a strengths-based organization by capitalizing on the fact that such traits are already present among those within it. Most original and potentially most revealing, however, is a Web-based interactive component that allows readers to complete a questionnaire developed by the Gallup Organization and instantly discover their own top-five inborn... #A point well taken, but... (2006-07-07) The idea of the book is to help you find your talents, build your strengths, which will in turn, improve your performance. Building your strengths is indeed somthing that is often overlooked, as most of the time we seek to improve our weaknesses- that s a point well taken- and a good reason to buy the book. However two more things also need to be mentioned. First, why can t we work on building both our strengths AND our weaknesses? In other words, why do we have to necessarily pick just one? I feel that many weaknesses can be improved upon. Se... #Good book for managers who want to develop their people (2006-05-05) It s unconventional to be an advocate of focusing on people s strength instead of area of improvement , especially in the business world. This book gives plenty of real cases a lot of which we can relate to, very convincing. It s also a very easy read. #Top Career Books Available (2006-03-17) Having recently been thrown into the world of executive unemployment, I highly recommend these two books for people facing reorganizations, layoffs, job changes or career redirection. . . NOW DISCOVER YOUR STRENGTHS (Buckingham) and THE BLACK BOOK OF OUTSOURCING (Brown & Wilson) Buckingham gives you a kick in the pants to get back on track. . . and Brown/Wilson will open up a whole new perspective on outsourcing - how to find a career in it, where the jobs in the US are, how to qualify, even how to open your own outsourcing firm. #Some great ideas are present. (2006-02-23) The Author presents some great ideas, although excludes God, or any spiritual forces from any influence in who you are, or the decisions you make. Still, Christians should be able to gain value in some of the helpful ideas. Focusing on our weaknesses is the devils interest. Focusing on our strengths (God being one of them notably not mentioned in the book) is our responsability. Online questions don t let you answer a valid response. For example: a person who can excite others can often also calm them down. Saying you are neutral isn t a... #beware of used copies (2004-07-03) An integral part of this book is the online profile. Each copy of this book comes with a unique PIN number inside the book jacket. If you buy a used copy, the PIN number may be already used, and thus will not allow you to use the online profile. However, the book is still interesting if you enjoy reading through the signature themes and guessing what your profile would have uncovered. It is also fun to read each theme and think of people you know who come to mind, and consider ways in which you can support their strengths. I would give this b...
