#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...

	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$ 1.70 (40 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...

	Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In Average Customer Rating: (73) Roger Fisher Price: CDN$ 0.48 (60 available) Tags: Management, Motivational, General, General AAS, Negotiating, General, General AAS, General, General AAS, Management, Motivational, Negotiating, General AAS
We re constantly negotiating in our lives, whether it s convincing the kids to do their homework or settling million-dollar lawsuits. For those who need help winning these battles, Roger Fisher has developed a simple and straightforward five-step system for how to behave in negotiations. Narrated soothingly by NPR announcer Bob Edwards, Fisher adds the meaty portions of the material with a sense of playfulness. The blend of voices makes this tape easy to listen to, especially the real-life negotiating scenarios, in which negotiating examples are given. This is a must-have tape for every businessperson s car. (Running time: one hour, one cassette) --Sharon Griggins #A quick reminder about negotiation (2008-04-20) When it comes to negotiation, people are often confronted with though bargaining that destroys relationships. Getting to Yes offers people a new way of looking at negotiation and enables negotiators to reach a mutual profitable agreement without hard feelings. The Harvard Negotiation Project, which this book is based on, came to understand basic principles that should guide every dispute. Thus, it is important to focus on the issue at hand, not the people involved in it or the position one defends. Do not hesitate to stay creative a... #Don t take it personally! (2004-07-01) I must confess I ordered and read this book because my new boss recommended it. Well, now that we have unpacked all the boxes from our move to take this job - I find we have about 5 copies of this book. This book is GREAT! This is not a new book but has been read by millions of people and is now a classic. The first edition came out in 1981 and the second edition 10 years later. The newest edition benefits from many updates and has an additional chapter (#10) with common questions (and answers) that people have commonly asked about Gettin... #Don t buy from audible (2004-06-26) Don t buy the audio version from audible. com . Their programming skills are terrible. I could not download some of the books I bought, could not burn into cd the ones I could download, and forget about making it work with an mp3 player, unless you re lucky. I know about 5 people who bought stuff from there and only one had the luck of downloading a working file and burning it successfully to a cd. The quality of the narrations is awful, at least in the books I managed to hear (only on windows media player, nothing else worked). If you re used t... #Packed with Knowledge! (2004-03-02) Authors Roger Fisher, William L. Ury and Bruce M. Patton offer a seminal step-by-step guide to negotiating effectively. The authors use anecdotal examples to illustrate both positive and negative negotiating techniques. They believe that, with principled negotiation, both parties can reach an agreement in an amicable and efficient manner. Principled negotiation is based on the belief that when each side comes to understand the interests of the other, they can jointly create options that are mutually advantageous, resulting in a wise settlement... #Great Book! (2004-02-06) Incredible book! You will learn a lot about yourself and other people too. A must read!

	Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time Average Customer Rating: (5) Keith Ferrazzi Price: CDN$ 13.08 (24 available) Tags: Motivation & Self-Improvement, Guides, Management, Motivational, Communications, General, General AAS, Management, Motivational, Guides, Business Communication, Management, General AAS
#Where Does a Network Begin (2007-11-30) Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time, by Keith Ferrazzi, will put into perspective just how large your initial networks are--the ones most of us start out with before we consciously start to network. It is refreshing to read Keith Ferrazzi describe it: friends, relatives, friends of relatives, relatives of friends, your spouse s or significant other s relatives and acquaintances, current and former colleagues, members of professional and social organizations, past and present neighbors, people you went to sc... #An outstanding guide to a connecting/contributing lifestyle (2007-08-10) Ferrazzi s discussion of establishing a lifestyle of connecting with others is the benchmark by which other discussions of networking should be measured. Too many people think of networking has something you do frantically when you discover that you are out of work and are admonished to pursue the hidden job market. As Ferrazzi explains, the time to connect is long before you recognize a specific need. In the future loyalties will be to social networks and not to employers. The author s credibility in writin... #Never Eat Alone (2006-12-14) I read a great book on the way to Fremont, Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi with Tahl Raz. I highly recommend it. Although I network a lot, it was an inspirational refresher. It is about networking (the people kind, not the computer kind â although I am an advocate of both). As a time management person, I often choose to eat alone. And I choose fast restaurants (not fast food) when I do eat with others. Ferrazzi understands good time use. He often eats with groups of people. Never Eat Alone speaks of the value of networking and has a number of ide... #Connect for the Joy of It All! (2006-07-15) Never Eat Alone is a rare, detailed glimpse into how those with no special access can connect to those they want to meet. For many people who are good at connecting, this activity becomes a way of life. It s a profession and a hobby. As such, connecting can become all consuming. Many will find that aspect of Mr. Ferrazzi s story to be unattractive. But I found his candor in this regard to be refreshing. If you step back from his enthusiasm for connecting, the mental attitudes and processes he describes are just what everyone needs to us... #Don t Keep Score (2005-04-03) I haven t finished the whole book but I have been so impressed thus far that I just had to write this review! Ferrazzi weaves an excellent read which flows effortlessly. His perspective of the way ",business ", happens is quite unique due to his upbringing. Following his serendipitous journey through life, the true theme of the book rings through in every page, ",Don t Keep Score",. Do what is right to help your fellow man, be a friend with no strings attached and good things will happen to you. He prefers to think of business as w...

	Richest Man In Babylon Average Customer Rating: (228) George Clason Price: CDN$ 0.21 (23 available) Tags: Ethics, Motivational, Money & Values, General, General AAS, General, General AAS, Business Ethics, Motivational, Inspirational, General, General AAS, Business Ethics, General AAS, General AAS
#An excellent book to start your financial education off with (2005-02-15) This book is an absolute must read for anyone wanting to increase their financial intelligence. Although, many of the ideas in the book arewhat some people would call ",common sense",, it is the delivery of these ideas which make this book a gem. Every financial principle that this book presents is encased in a fable and repeated more numerous times. It is the presentation of the principles which truely allow people to internalize them and apply them in their everyday lives! #Simple wisdom but SO powerful (2004-07-03) First published in 1927 this is a parable, a story set in ancient Babylon, focusing on the simple ways to set yourself up for financial success. Excellent book. Loriwww. communecate. biz #A book worth reading over and over (2004-07-01) I think that some people underestimate this book due to it s small size. This is NOT a book that you will want to read only once and put away, you will NEED to read this over and over untill the ideas saturate both your conscious and subscious minds and untill the ideas become habits. Then you will achieve some real results. #Timeless (2004-06-27) Short book. Timeless advice. What can I say. Well, the fact that it is set in ancient Babylon shows that the basics of finance are truly timeless, and only misinformation from our great friends banks and credit card companies have buried these understandings from us. #Read this along with The Automatic Millionaire (2004-06-18) One of the most important, if not the most important strategy you could implement is pay yourself first. Richest Man in Bablyon was the first to promote this concept, Charles Givens beat it to death in More Wealth Without Risk and now Dave Bach ala Givens is beating it to death in his outstanding book, The Automatic Millionaire. Richest Man in Bablyon also contains some other secrets that will jumpstart your financial life. These books are outstanding and I still highly recommend More Wealth Without Risk as well.
