Paul D. Tieger, Barbara Barron
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Shortest Possible Way to Know About Yourself & Choose The Right Work For Life...
" Do what You Are " just shook me out of nowhere, which I was not expecting. Although the concept given by these two thorough researchers (Paul & Barbara) are well established for several years now, but frankly, it was the first time for me that I was reading & understanding about the 16 types of personalities - what are these 16 types of personalities by the way...
How can the entire ...

Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else83 reviews
Geoff Colvin
Portfolio Hardcover, 2008
Best I have read this year!
Talent is overrated is an extremely motivational book that makes suggestions on how to become a star in your own right. Unlike other Amazon reviews I have read, this book does not suggest you will become a star reciever or NBA player if you practice. In fact, this book specifically says it will not do that for you. It uses stories of superstars like Tiger Woods, Chris Rock and others to ...

48 Days To The Work You Love152 reviews
Dan Miller
B&H Books, 2005
Great Book to Make you think
Let me say this first, don't bother buying No More Mondays the book Dan Miller wrote after this one. Waste of Money. I may feel this way because I purchased both and its a lot of repeat. But I do believe 48 Days book is better when you dont have a clue what you want to do. The first 3 Chapters are very repetitive (Ok I get it, I hate my job and want to find the work I love). Chaper 4 it ...

Nicholas D. Kristof, Sheryl WuDunn
Knopf, 2009
Currently my FAVORITE book!!!
If you are a woman, you should read this book. Although it is extremely sad to hear in detail those things that are going on throughout the world which are degrading and cruel to women; this book does more than tell the story, it tells about who is doing something about it and what works and what doesn't as it relates to each culture and individual. One of the most motivating books I have ever ...

A "Must Read" - An Inpsiring Look at the Israeli Economy as a Model for Innovation
Almost exactly a year ago, my phone rang. "Hi, this is Dan Senor. I am writing a book about the impact of the military on the economy of Israel.

And so began my involvement with the watershed book, "Start-up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle."

I could tell you how this is Seth's best work yet. Or how it's a true gift to you, your family and your colleagues. It's all of that. I was so moved by the concepts that I created a Linchpin Award for the Capital Hotel, which replaces the traditional and unremarkable employee of the month award. See the first presentation... [...]

This Helps Aspies a Lot Choose the Right Company
I should have found this book earlier! - That's how I felt soon after I encountered this book, for I have had a whole bunch of job changes and even today, I have no idea yet what kind of job suits me best. I suppose this book is a must read to know our hidden talents we haven't realized before. Of course, I know all the people between jobs want another job ASAP. However, what if you get a job ...

Great book for winning the interview...
There is such a thing as winning the interview... many people don't have this mantaility when going into an interview, but it's true. Being on the opposite side of the desk (the hiring manager), I look for certain unspoken talents and jestures during the interview process.
This book gives the reader a lot of insight and helpful hints on how to act during the interview.

A Swiss Army Knife for the Job Seeker. Don't leave home without it !!
I actually had sought out this book (which was reserved and couldn't be taken out of the library) after seeing David Perry speak at a job search group meeting. When I starting leafing through the book, I realized that there was too much information in this book for me to keep coming into the library to copy down a page or two for something to try in my job search. I needed a copy right by the ...
