How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else101 reviews
Michael Gates Gill

Gotham, 2007

One of the Best Career Books Ever
This is one of the best books ever written about mid-life career crisis. The story of the advertising executive who ended up cleaning toilets at Starbucks is filled with wonderful anecdotes that can be best appreciated by those who are middle aged and beyond. Young adult readers may not appreciate or understand the life-changing lessons (as seen by some of the one-star ratings from other ... 		  
  







  
  
Getting Started in Consulting, Second Edition52 reviews
Alan Weiss

Wiley, 2003

Excellent guide for beginners
This is a very well-presented guide for anyone who is considering getting into consulting as a full-time business. It lays out the basic requirements and points you toward resources, but it does not contain detailed guidelines and legal advice, if that is what you are looking for. 		  
  







  
  
The Pocket Stylist: Behind-the-Scenes Expertise from a Fashion Pro on Creating Your Own Look98 reviews
Kendall Farr

Gotham, 2004

Wonderful!
This terrific book changed the way I think about clothing fit, and what I should be wearing and buying. It's the most useful fashion/clothing book I own, and probably a good purchase for many women. The ideas are timeless, but still immediately applicable for a variety of women, budgets, sizes, and style preferences. I highly recommend it. I had come to Amazon just to buy the Lucky shopping ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008

Riveting from start to finish!
As a child, Rob Ryan may have witnessed the murder of his friends. He returned home from the nearby woods, bloodied, remembering nothing. His friends never returned. Rob and his family soon moved away to escape the stain of the event, forever marked upon them via small town gossip. Now an adult, Rob still has no memory of what happened that day. He works as a police detective, and at the outset ... 		  
  







  
  
Get Clients Now!(TM): A 28-Day Marketing Program for Professionals, Consultants, and Coaches26 reviews
C. J. Hayden

AMACOM, 2007

A must for consulting and other client-based businesses
This book contains a set of exercises and activities which have, in at least two cases that I know of, brought small businesses from near-insolvency to client saturation. Without spending for advertising, there are multiple techniques and a framework for effective implementation to make a company visible to its potential clients. You should have a buddy to do the 28 days, but it doesn't have to ... 		  
  







  
  
The McKinsey Mind: Understanding and Implementing the Problem-Solving Tools and Management Techniques of the ...47 reviews
Ethan M. Rasiel, Ph.D., Paul N. Friga

McGraw-Hill, 2001

This Book is a Life Changer
I didn't read McKinsey Way and you don't have to either to see the impact that McKinsey Mind hypothesis based decision making will have in your life. It uses the same principle that many authors like Polya, Bransford and Stein and many others use. If you work backwards you will get far better results, faster. Why? Simple: Just remember how easy is to solve the labyrinth puzzles starting from the ... 		  
  







  
  
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man625 reviews
John Perkins

Plume, 2005

You will be surprised how interesting this book is!
If you are interested in understanding how international politics and business go hand in hand through dirty deals, and read interesting real-life stories which proves the points and shows how history is made, then this is the book for you. Those who write that this book lacks credibility because it has few or "vague" facts are obviously just trying to smear it for personal political reasons. ... 		  
  







  
  
Counselor: A Life at the Edge of History28 reviews
Ted Sorensen

Harper, 2008

A Great Read. Buy it.
A thoroughly enjoyable read if you are interested in the JFK era. Sorensen loved (in the most genuinely platonic sense) his hero Kennedy. While some of his praise for the assassinated President borders on cloying, the overall book is an excellent read. As a keynote speaker, (I reference the Kennedy brand in a jaundiced manner in Why Ireland Never Invaded America) I have a deep and abiding ... 		  
  







  
  
Flawless Consulting: A Guide to Getting Your Expertise Used44 reviews
Peter Block

Pfeiffer, 1999

NOT FOR ENTRY-LEVEL CONSULANTS AT ALL !
If you are a seasoned consultant who has been applying Block's theory of consulting for a decade or two, as we have at One Big Idea Consulting Limited NZ, and if you are also, as we are,committed to 'flawless' consulting, which by definition is beyond human measurement, this audio is a solid investment of your time and concentration. Be warned it is not for the superficial US American habit of ...

Alan Weiss

McGraw-Hill, 2002

The most valuable business book I own!
I am very happy that I found and studied this book when I did. After a few years of consulting this book helped make my business more successful, confirmed ideas that took years to develop and gave a clear plan of action and procedures. If i may borrow from Alan... "I am constantly amazed at how stupid I was two weeks ago" 		  
  







  
  
Home Staging for Profit: How to Start and Grow a Six Figure Home Staging Business in 7 Days or Less OR ...24 reviews
Barbara Jennings, CSS/CRS

Ahava Press, 2008

Great intro so far...
I recently bought 2 books on Staging, since I'm currently wondering wether to pursue it as a new career. Right off the bat, this book is very inspiring in it's voice and the writer's accomplishments. I'm barely into it, but it's already gotten me back to feeling excited about the possibilities. As opposed to the other staging book i'm about to review, and ended up returning. The layout is like ...

Ethan M. Rasiel

McGraw-Hill, 1999

Phenomenal!
I have to say, that as a businessman, this book is incredible! I have reread it four times, and I live by what is inside. If you are thinking of going into consulting, this book is a must-have, but if you are a manager in any capacity you need to have this book in your collection. You can apply these principles to any business, and you should be. There is a reason these guys are the best in ... 		  
  







  
  
Windows Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro - Administrator's Pocket Consultant)4 reviews

Microsoft Press, 2008

Excellent manual for Windows Server 2008
Stanek's books are my go-to resources for learning new technologies. Whenever Microsoft releases a new product I look to see if he has a book on it so when Microsoft finally released Windows Server 2008 I was happy to see he'd written not only one book but two: Windows Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant and Windows Server 2008 Inside Out. I ordered both and have been using the pocket ... 		  
  







  
  
Helicopters, Drill Sergeants & Consultants: Parenting Styles and the Messages They Send9 reviews
Jim Fay

Love & Logic Press, 1994

Funny easy read to help raise responsible, safe kids without all the power struggles.
Not sure what the other reader was talking about. I am an agnostic so I am pretty aware of that kind of thing. I was also a teacher. Not only does Love and Logic work in the classroom but it does amazing things with my kids. I have 2 toddlers and I think the Love and Logic books and videos are an indespensible resource. It seems to me that the previous reviewer was just looking for a forum ... 		  
  







  
  
Into Thin Air1487 reviews

Villard, 1998

Seeking a state of grace
I remember the spring of 1996 and the Everest disasters very well. I was stuck in traffic when a writer named Jon Krakauer was briefly interviewed on NPR when he first returned as one of the survivors of a deadly climb. I had never given mountaineering or Everest much thought but the drama, and especially Krakauer's traumatized voice, inspired a curiosity I've only now actually pursued by ... 		  
  







  
  
Prodigal Son (Dean Koontz's Frankenstein, Book 1)111 reviews
Dean Koontz, Kevin J. Anderson

Bantam, 2005

Amazing
This book is amazing on so many levels. It takes the traditional Frankenstein story and weaves a modern tale of secrets, deception, and corruption hidden under a thin veneer of high society. It is creepy how probable some of the things in this book are. It is a sad tale, but it pulls you in and won't let go. I would recommend this book for anyone with a healthily inquisitive mind and a bit of ...

Julie Spencer was an image consultant at the top of her game.

Ty Calhoun was one of the world's greatest quarterbacks in fact he just recently scored the winning touchdown in the super bowl.

NOLO, 2008

All the legal tips, tricks and traps explained
Plenty of books impart the basics of how to work independently - but too few include all the legal tips, tricks and traps involved. WORKING FOR YOURSELF: LAW & TAXES FOR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, FREELANCERS & CONSULTANTS covers everything from setting appropriate fees and understanding how and when taxes are paid to limiting liability and getting paid. Record-keeping processes are simplified with ...
