Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die

Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life
Frankly, I've been surprised with the positive reviews this book has received. It struck me as simple-minded pablum, and I was initially rather insulted that management assigned it to all employees. …

Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life

Outliers: The Story of Success
Is Malcolm Gladwell just stating the obvious when he says really successful people achieve their success through a series of advantages? He labels such people as "outliers," a use of the word not sanctioned …

This book funny on two levels. Level 1 is the author's wit. Level 2 is well, lets put it this way. Its nice to know that I have more on the ball than some of the people who let their publisists stick …

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
I first saw the 7 Habits in a Barnes and Noble around 2000, and thought it might be useful for my engineering business. Other than hearing the occasional reference to it and to Stephen Covey I had no …

Any book that tells you not to quit your day job, but lie to your employer after getting them to let you work from home, while you are on a beach on the company's dime, is borderline criminal.    Work …

Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything
If nothing else this book has taught me that I don't necessarily have to agree with a book in order for it to be qualified as a "good book." In one sitting, I got through nearly 100 pages. So it only …

Outliers: The Story of Success
A philosophical rant, if I may.   The thing that makes outliers unique is exactly the fact that, within a certain system, they lie beyond the norms. Outcasts and hermits in a society, or such …

I am a huge fan of Malcolm Galdwell's yet I never had the chance to read Blink or the Tipping Point in their entirety. After reading the Outliers I will probably go back and re-read his first books.    &nb …
