Books Update

Posted: June 27th, 2010 | | No Comments »

If you remember my “I’m not a mutltitasker” post. I tried to read more than one at a time, and this is what happened. It took me too long to finish books. So here is my update. From the past month of reading or so…

Supefreakonomics

9/10 – Remarkable book really. That is the best thing to say about it. As a man that loves to throw out random info to make me sound smart, this is the perfect book for that.

A Whole New Mind

7/10 – Great academic read about how the brain works. One of the best takes on right brain left brain that I have found. Love how much it ties in with what I do for a living.

Culture Making

8/10 – Great Christian/Business Book. I put the disclaimer on it, because I was naive to the fact that it was a Christian book. That said, it is easily the best “Business” style book that I have read that is Christian. Andy Crouch is leading the thought on what Culture is, and more importantly, how culture is influenced. This is ground zero for understanding and managing a culture.

Other notable books in the past month:

-Well Being – Tom Rath

-Small is the new big – Seth Godin

-One Page Talent Management – Effron – More on this one soon…
