All Ahead Full is Ahead of the Rest
I consider myself an avid reader of leadership and motivational books. I truly appreciate learning from the experiences of others. However, I often find myself getting lost in the book and struggling to find the message.
All Ahead Full is written so that you cannot miss the meaning behind it. The end of chapter summaries concisely state what lessons are to be learned. The natuical themed ...

The Best Make-Ahead Recipe (The Best Recipe) 20 reviews
America's Test Kitchen, 2007
Fabulous Cookbook From A Cookbook Collecter
I have well over 200 cookbooks. I purchased this cookbook because I love cookbooks of course and I love the publication Cook's. If you have to have color photographs this book is not for you. But it is so well illustrated in black and white that you cannot miss a trick with it.
Very well illustrated and a great reference book. I would suggest all in the series for a beginner cook too. I ...

Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School 12 reviews
Philip Delves Broughton
Penguin Press HC, The, 2008
The essense of business education
A definite must read for anyone thinking about going into MBA program. This book is highly intelligent, very entertaining and true to the soul (if there is one) description of "experiential" learning which forms the core of HBS case-based education.
It also can serve as a quick refresher on major topics, from corporate finance to negotiations techniques. It even has few good hints for solving ...

The Great Bust Ahead: The Greatest Depression in American and UK History is Just Several Short Years Away. ... 46 reviews
Daniel A. Arnold
Vorago-US, 2002
I see the light...
I think this author is on to something. I can agree with his point of view because he lays out the facts (from the Government, mind you). The book was written a long while ago, I read it a small while ago, and now it is happening just like he laid it out. What comes next? You have to read it and weep. Or... read it and prepare.

Ahead of the Curve: A Commonsense Guide to Forecasting Business and Market Cycles28 reviews
Joseph H. Ellis
Harvard Business School Press, 2005
Take bashing by the theorists wth a grain of salt
Another reviewer remarked that this book did not pass the Statistics 101 test. It is true that Ellis provides no supporting data for his ideas.
However, in some of my own work I did find considerable support for one important aspect of the Ellis approach: his suggestion that readers ignore quarterly or monthly percent changes and focus instead on year over year changes.
I, too, look at data ...

Everyone in our department read the book and then we followed the process described by the authors. It has been an amazing experience for all of us.

Ahead of the Curve: Nine Simple Ways to Create Wealth by Spotting Stock Trends10 reviews
Hilary Kramer
Free Press, 2007
Clear and witty overview of stock picking strategies
I love both Hilary and the book. This is a fantastic book. It describes, in a witty and accessible manner, the fundamentals of stock forecasting. The book is especially important because most books on stock picking do not handle the topic of stock forecasting adequately, if at all. Get this book and get rich.

Three Moves Ahead: What Chess Can Teach You About Business5 reviews
Bob Rice
Jossey-Bass, 2008
Superb! Quite possibly the single best business book for the new economy
This is an extraordinary work. Aside from being extremely well written (something that one can rarely say about business books), the central thesis here is that in a rapidly changing business environment it is no long sufficient to give 'cookbook' answers to solving problems. Instead, by apply chess theories (NOT 'rules'), Three Moves Ahead gives business executives (and particularly ...

I owe a lot of things to this book
This book hit the stands in 90's when I was an undegrad doing my 4 year course in Computer Science and Engineering. I devoured this book with the kind of passion a teenager devours his first Playboy/Penthouse.
In hindsight whatever BillG has written in this book has happened.
This book Rocks.

Great Boom Ahead: YOUR COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO PERSONAL AND BUSINESS PROFIT IN THE NEW ERA OF PROSPERITY14 reviews
Harry S. Dent
Hyperion, 1994
Highly Recommended!
Harry S. Dent, Jr.'s book is remarkable both for the overall accuracy of its predictions and for the simplistic model upon which those predictions depend. Written in 1993, it claims a niche within the general family of "trend" books written by the likes of Alvin Toffler and John Naisbitt. The work anticipated our current era of super bullish markets, which it predicts will continue through 2007. ...

James Phd Waldroop, Timothy Phd Butler
Doubleday Business, 2001
Impressive
"The 12 Bad Habits that Hold Good People Back" is a breath of fresh in in a world filled with business self-help books. Most business books will try to tell you exactly what to do in order to succeed, but the problem with that is that no matter what type of situations are described in those books, they never seem to correspond to what is happing in your situation.
This book is different. While ...
