Has anyone noticed that all self improvement books mostly relate to a bygone era. Suggestions for any that are appliocable for the present age would be welcome.

@ Brian – I was looking for books that people wouldn’t have heard of in this list and I think pretty much everybody has heard of TAGR. I did mention it in the previous post.

@ timechief – You’re welcome. I wanted to dig up some less well known stuff that deserves to be read. Sometimes the success of a book comes down to the ability to market it, which is a shame.

@ Laurie – Did you mean ‘read it’ because I was under the impression it was never released as a book?

@ Rebacca – Although they are not really in any order, TMMS is my favorite of all time.

@ Andrew – You’re too kind! OTOH I read an ‘A’lister bloggers post on great books a week or two ago and he did list his own! Not sure I’d ever be comfortable doing that, it’s for others to make their mind up.

@ Lisa – Yeh that’s a good point, what is the objective with a negative post? You really gave me food for thought.

On the one hand I agree with you, and on the other, that post got more page views than the other 2 ‘positive’ book posts combined. So maybe people like a bit of controversy from time to time?

I don’t really have an answer, but I think it’s ok to throw out the occasional post like that as long as I don’t turn it into a weekly rant.

This post is entirely different.

I’m going to give the Maverick Mindset a listen, I like CDs I can listen to in my car and I’m always open for a good tip in that area. The Power of Story book also sounds good – but then, I’m a story gal, so naturally that would appeal to me.

Thanks for posting (and reading my critique) :-)

Everyone should read “How To Be Brilliant” by Michael Heppell, it’s fantastic.
