.Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba: The Biography of a Cause
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Tom Gjelten

September 04, 2008
I am Cuban-born, and have throughly enjoyed this book and am buying copies to send to all my children, one of which is NPR's Baghdad Bureau Chief. It is historically accurate, very well written, and portrays Cuba and the Bacardi family with knowledge and understanding. It is truly a brilliant achievement and recommend anyone who is interested in Cuba to read it.

.Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: John Kotter, Holger Rathgeber, Spenser Johnson

September 05, 2006
I have read John Kotter's previous work on leading change so I was curious as to whether his concepts could be effectively conveyed in fable form. To my delight, I discovered that Kotter put his own findings about the power of stories to work to create an engaging story that conveys his principles about organizational change more powerfully. By reading this book, my staff and colleagues remember the steps and continue to be guided by them as we transform our work group and help to transform our company. I highly recommend this book!

The only other book I've seen do this so well is Squawk!: How to Stop Making Noise and Start Getting Results, which uses a seagull manager to illustrate the problem managers are having these days with ... Read More:

.The Millionaire Next Door
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Thomas J. Stanley, William D. Danko

October 01, 1998
Quite the eye-opener about how many supposedly rich people are actually being supported by their parents. I did think it had a lot of undertones about how being cheap, I mean frugal, was noble in its own right and there's nothing worth spending money on except charity and education. But it was motivational, inspirational and educational.

.Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: T. Harv Eker

February 15, 2005
This book was enjoyable, packed with useful information and a fast, easy read. My husband and I both read it and we are using it to change the way we think about our finances. We are also attending the authors three day FREE workshop this month in New Jersey. When you purchase the book, you get free tickets to his three day workshops that are held all over the US...pretty cool. Highly recommend this to everyone.

.The Leadership Challenge, 4th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: James M. Kouzes, Barry Z. Posner

August 04, 2008
I gave this book four stars because it is well written and very readable, but it is really designed for people interested in business and working in corporations; something I did not realize before I started. I feel like the chapters were a little wordy, but the "summaries" at the end of the chapter are nice.

.Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Charles Wheelan

2003-09
This book provides a superb explanation of the core concepts of economics, allowing the reader to grasp the essential principles, or, as in my case, allowing the reader to gain a far better understanding of these principles than he previously had. The author uses colorful examples, and he is an excellent writer who uses good English to make his points rather than dry jargon. It allows the reader to develop a much more vivid, clear understanding of the principles in question. This is a superb book, which I highly recommend.

.I.O.U.S.A.: One Nation. Under Stress. In Debt.
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Addison Wiggin, Kate Incontrera

September 29, 2008
I got this hoping to learn a lot about our national debt problem: what exactly it means, how big the problems are, what the causes are, etc. This book has almost nothing of that: whatever discussion there is of actual facts is just meant to make the reader understand this is a big problem--something anyone who buys this book already knows. That is to say, this book is very lacking in statistics and study of what they mean.
The book is arranged in two sections: the first part is the informative section, and the other half is a collection of interviews with supposed experts. Unfortunately, most of the information section is just a narrative walkthrough of how they made the movie: "While we were making the movie, we found out about this student group ... Read More:

.Be a Real Estate Millionaire: Secret Strategies To Lifetime Wealth Today

by: Dean Graziosi

September 25, 2007
This guy is making more money selling the book and his course, and is deluded by his own self-agrandizement. If you want to read some real solid advice, read any of Donald Trump's books. Who hasn't heard of Donald Trump? And who is this Dean Graziozi? What a crock!

.QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability in Work and in Life
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: John G. Miller

September 09, 2004
I found QBQ through Dave Ramsey's radio program. Dave is the Financial Peace guru and author of The Total Money Makeover. I am a big Ramsey fan and I figured if QBQ was mandatory reading for his staff then it should be for me and my team as well. QBQ is a quick read and when actually put into practice can have a dramatic impact on one's personal and professional life. Unfortunately, many people will miss its profound implications because of its simplicity. The fact is, if you're like me, you have very little time to learn new concepts much less put them into practice. If so, you're going to love QBQ. This is something that is simple enough to absorb quickly and practical enough to use every day! As a VP for a large organization I cannot think of a better culture to develop ... Read More:
