Introduction: Books for Your Bookshelf!
Next week I’ll have a list of books to read this summer. But today instead of having a new book review, because I have many new readers I have included a link to seven book reviews I have already done. [Update: Here is a list of books to read for 2012] Below you will find a list of books for your bookshelf.
Some of the books on this list you may not have heard of before, but all of them are worth reading. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin and Analects of Confucius are similar in the sense that both have lessons for us to live by. Though some of the lessons are outdated, there are some that are still applicable today.
If you’d like to understand your friends and customers better and know why they behave the way they do, The New Birth Order may shed some light on the issue. Bunker Bean and Jonathan Livingston Seagull demonstrate that if you believe in yourself you can accomplish anything, but the message is delivered in very different ways. Bunker Bean may drive you nuts the way he drove me nuts, but I am glad that I took the time to finish reading it.
Dorothea Brande’s prescription for success is to act as if it was impossible to fail. Since I read Wake Up and Live!about five years ago there are several books that recommend that you should work through the resistance and complete more projects. If you have a firm belief that you could do anything, you’d take more risks and get more done. Your outcome would be similar if you acted as if it were impossible to fail.
