The 9 Ways of Working: How to Use the Enneagram to Discover Your Natural Strengths and Work More Effectively 10 reviews
Michael J. Goldberg
Da Capo Press, 1999
Oriented toward business world; excellent elsewhere, too
If you already have Goldberg's excellent "Getting Your Boss's Number" you probably don't need this volume. This volume however makes Goldberg's perceptive analysis and effective writing available in paperback (earlier title is out of print). Goldberg's work is not quite as casual in style as Renee Baron's delightful works ("Enneagram Made Easy" and "Am I Your Type"), but it will appeal much ...

Working Effectively with Legacy Code23 reviews
Prentice Hall, 2008
Pleasant to read and extremely practical.
I am an entry level software developer who has only been in the industry for a little over a year. While I was in college, I was always provided with very clean code bases to work with or analyze. I was in for a huge surprise when I entered the real world. The code I deal with every day at work is an extremely ugly mess. We have no automated tests. We are basically operating at CMMI level 0. ...

What Did I Just Say!?! How New Insights into Childhood Communication Can Help You Communicate More ...11 reviews
Denis M. Donovan, Deborah McIntyre
Henry Holt & Company, 1999
GET IT and get spares for your friends, LOVE IT!
This book is amazing. If you have problems with your boys (OK kids) you must get this. I thought I was the most emotionally available and "tuned-in" parent. After reading the first few chapters, I used the skills I leared in this book. My older one had been whining in the mornings about not wanting to go to school. I gently commanded him to tell me WHY (I didn't ASK, I COMMANDED him to tell ...

The Way Of The Master: How to Share Your Faith Simply, Effectively, Biblically-- The Way Jesus Did27 reviews
Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron
Tyndale House Publishers, 2004
This is eye-opening!
I was very skeptical at first when reading the book but it made more sense as I read. Then I actually tried to witness like this and I was AMAZED! People are not offended but are struck silent by what comes out of their mouths. Most of the Evangelical American church does not realize they are preaching a modern gospel. I am doing what I can to preach the truth in love.

Practical Turkey Hunting Strategies: How to Hunt Effectively Under Any Conditions6 reviews
Ray Eye
The Lyons Press, 2003
How do you know when a hunter is lying?
Unfortunately the likely answer is 'when his lips are moving'. This old saying mostly applies when there is disagreement in a 'how to' conversation. Ray Eye did not write this book telling how you must hunt to be successful as a turkey hunter, but tells his story of how he does it. I knew after reading what it meant to him to hunt with and the memories of hunting with his grandfather that I found ...

Jossey-Bass, 2003
" 2 R Mannager " by Peter Friedes, is a must read book
I've had thirty years of management, and I believe this is the best book I've read regarding real management of people. " 2 R Management ", is the kind of book , that should be kept in a manager's top right desk door, for a constand reminder he is dealing with people, not robots. Like the Bible, it doesn't have to be read everyday, but certainly needs to be reviewed frequently. The ...

Over the years, Sites' clients have turned to him for subtle
insights into power control technology. Many of our peculiar
projects are only successful due to Sites' tweeking. But Plasma at
Work is not only about tweeking this important technology. This book
gives the reader a big picture of the industry from an author

Makes Great Points and a Great Resource.
At the risk of sounding trite, David Bartlett "makes his point" clearly and effectively in this book. He understands the needs of the reader and, without being verbose or patronizing, teaches the best ways to communicate with any audience. I highly recommend this book to those who need help communicating successfully and dynamically.

Donna Leslie Thomson
Sentient Publications, 2006
A Treasure of Simplicity and Effectiveness
I have been privileged to work with Donna Thomson's meditations for many years now, and have found them to be entirely beneficial for myself and for clients of my psychotherapy practice. They are so easily accessible, and so direct and effective, that it is sometimes hard to believe that such simple methods could make such an immediate difference.

If They're Laughing, They Just Might Be Listening: Ideas for Using Humor Effectively in the Classroom, Even ...3 reviews
Elaine Lundberg, Cheryl Miller Thurston
Cottonwood Press, Inc., 2002
Excellent teacher resource!
"If they're Laughing..." was a great read for two main reasons. Firstly, in today's classrooms sometimes there is not a lot to laugh about. This book allows the teacher to find ways to laugh with the students everyday. I believe that students that laugh and enjoy school will work hard to get to school everyday. Secondly, even if you don't use these ideas in class, there are lots of funny ...
