The Book of The Week
What I'm Reading (or just finished)
I don't have time to sit and read a lot of books. Most of my reading involves audio books while I'm driving or running. So, If I take the time to read a book, it has to be good.
What Should I Do with My Life?: The True Story of People Who Answered the Ultimate Question
* Right Now
Bottom Line: Bronson shares 56 different stories of people who have wrestled with the question of what to do with their lives. These are regular people, not celebrities. He does a good job of letting them tell their story and then providing a short lesson or commentary. I can't put it down. This is a great book on an important topic.
Amazon Price: $11.21 (as of 12/27/2009)
The Five Love Languages of Children
* Just Finished
Bottom Line:
Everyone is different. We should discover and adapt to people's unique attributes. This applies to parents, spouses and leaders.
Amazon Price: $10.19 (as of 12/27/2009)
The AudioBook of the Week
What I'm Listening to Right Now (from Audible.com)
The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture
* Just Finished
Fascinating! You don't have to be a computer geek to enjoy this book. Battelle provides an interesting and compelling history of internet search that includes Google and its past and present rivals. The book does a good job of predicting future developments and providing a road map to the future of the web and its increasingly powerful role in our lives.
Amazon Price: (as of 12/27/2009)
The Wal-Mart Effect: How the World's Most Powerful Company Really Works--and How It's Transforming the American Economy
* Just Finished
Excellent! A very balanced and informative exploration of Wal-Mart and its impact on America and the world.
Amazon Price: (as of 12/27/2009)
The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner: A Powerful Plan to Finish Rich in Real Estate
* Summer '06
Bottom Line:
Buying a home is better than renting. Make your mortgage payments automatic. Use equity in your home to purchase a new one and rent out the one you live in now. Other People's Money (OPM) allows you to maximize the return on investment.
Amazon Price: $17.05 (as of 12/27/2009)
Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
* Summer '06
Bottom Line: Mundane details like a group's source of food and their way of life (farming, hunting, etc.) did more to shape our current civilization than most people realize. I have to admit that I found the book a bit dry. However, the overall concept is intriguing.
Amazon Price: $12.21 (as of 12/27/2009)
