.The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns (Little Books. Big Profits)
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: John C. Bogle

March 05, 2007
As others have mentioned, this book could be distilled down to "The only way to succeed at long term investing is to buy low-fee mutual funds that track the whole stock market". The entire rest of the book is the justification, and it's pretty hard to argue with any of it. Sure, you can beat the market sometimes, but it can't last.

As a beginning investor, I found the book informative - it helps you think about stocks and the market in ways that aren't immediately obvious to the uninformed.

.Cracking the GMAT with DVD, 2009 Edition (Graduate Test Prep)
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Princeton Review

June 10, 2008
This book is almost perfect. Cracking clues and useful tips are perfect but need more practise questions. Because most of other books do not classify GMAT strategies like it. I recommend this book.

.The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership: Follow Them and People Will Follow You
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: John C. Maxwell

September 18, 2007
I came across the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership in a leadership training program at my company. It's a great book because it's very practical and the advice points you in the direction you need to head if you want to succeed as a leader.

Another book we read in the class that I highly recommend for leaders is The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book

.Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Barbara Ehrenreich

June 24, 2008
I originally read this book when it was first published! I found it hard hitting, have quoted from it frequently and have recommended it to numerous indivduals.
I feel her book does not go far enough because, let us be honest, she knew she would "get out" of the circumstances it was an experiement for her, so that kept her form hitting the despair, total desperation, and fear that her children would never have full tummies; this si the plight of the working poor everywhere in America. To say it is not is to close ones eyes and live in ignorance

.The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of The Learning Organization
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Peter M. Senge

March 21, 2006
I won this book in a lottery and it was on my bookshelf for several years. I thought it would be one of those repetitive bestsellers about management and leadership, so common in this genre. Belonging to this genre, this book could not escape its being repetitive, but the content far outweighed this minor flaw. It was mainly about systemic thinking or systems theory, which is the 5th discipline. I had read about systemic thinking (in a text book by Adalberto Chiavenato), but very superficially. He only made the reference that the organizations are systems similar to living organisms, in the sense that they interact with their environment.

In this book you can find the main structures of systems that scientists have discovered, exemplified with good metaphors ... Read More:

.The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life
City Travel Guides > Books > Business and Investing
by: Rosamund Stone Zander, Benjamin Zander

September 24, 2002
The book could definitely be categorized in the "self-help book" field, but it is more creative and the examples are excellent. If you decide to get this book, and do not know who the authors are, make sure you check out a video on Youtube. Ben Zander follows the rules of the book and you can see it in his energetic, child-like attitude. Some of the rules may not seem as relevant as others, but your sure to find something you can improve on. This book is great for leadership programs and really helps you to learn your strengths and weaknesses.
