When you ride ALONE you ride with bin Laden: What the Government SHOULD Be Telling Us to Help Fight the War on Terrorism, by BILL MAHER is a compilation of funny stories to help drive its many serious points into our thick heads. Just so you know, I really like this book. It is a great addition to any coffee table as it is full of classic U.S. wartime posters and funny caricatures. I normally don't do this but I thought I would share with you one little section, "The Oxygen of Terrorism," from his book. {more}

I know that I am probably a little late in recommending this one as practically everyone and their mother has read it and recommended it to everyone else. But just in case, for those of you who have yet to read it, I strongly recommend the book Who Moved My Cheese. The book's author, Spencer Johnson, M.D., is a great storyteller who has put together a very clear and easy-to-read book. The best part of all is that it is a short and inexpensive book as well! I could not put it down when I purchased it and read it straight through. This was actually one of the first of many that I read in the last couple of years that begun to change the way I view changes in life and work in general. Again, strongly recommended. {more}

There was a period in my life, just recently actually, when I had no idea what I was going to do with myself. If you would like, you can read all about it here. It was this book that helped me start putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Keep in mind that it is no crystal ball, yet, it provides a lot of useful information about who you are and what you like to do. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is currently searching for a few answers about themselves. {more}

This book was written by Sun Tzu, arguably one of the world’s greatest military strategists. Although its original purpose was identifying ways of improving ones ability in war, that is definitely not why or how I would recommend reading this book. Sun Tzu’s the Art of War is full of many useful strategies for any sort of competitive encounter. At the very least, it should serve as a handbook for how many of today’s businesses and strategies view situations on the “battlefield.” “When torrential waters tosses boulders, it is because of its momentum,” “Appear at places to which he must hasten; move swiftly where he does not expect you,” and “Go into emptiness, strike voids, bypass what he defends, hit him where he does not expect you,” are just a few of the quotes in this book that could be translated for use in any competitive environment, whether it be sports, the battlefield, or the boardroom.

As you may have heard, I love to read! Whenever I come across a really great book, I'll be sure to pass it along to you. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to read all the books I want to so I actually have a list of ones that I am working on, so you may occasionally see a book or two here that I haven't read yet but that look good. I hope you enjoy them! {more}

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has any interest in business. I am not recommending this simply to get people mad, but more so to get people aware of the issues discussed in the book and to hopefully get people ready and willing to make some changes. Change always starts with individuals. Click here for more information. {more}

I know, I am not a kid. I have to keep reminding myself that. But when I saw this book, I fell in love with some of the really simple ways they have presented for anyone to help make a difference. Because it is geared towards kids it is a really easy book to understand and follow. I know many adults that could benefit from this one! Oh yeah, kids would love it too! These are hands-on and practical things kids can do everyday. I strongly recommend this one. One of the best ways to promote change is through education and there is no better time to start teaching your kids than now.Click here for more information. {more}
