I am reading "Sons of fortune" by Jeffery Archer. The book is fairly interesting but not one of Archer's best I would say.

I am currently reading 'Principles of Kinesic Interview and Interrogation' by Stan B. Walters.

Very interesting.

I've gone back to non-fiction as I find it more fulfilling for me. Currently reading Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg.

I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the first one. Mostly all he has added was about 100 pages of saying he was right about everything in book one.

I didn't see him break any new ground with 2.0, maybe it wasn't possible, since even though the crash has happened, the bottom hasn't completely fallen out like he predicted.

I agree that it would be cool to see him get elected - will be interesting to see if he can actually affect change, or whether the political system just eats his idealism for lunch.

Yeah, I agree. 2.0 was just a little bit of update to the older one.

Hmm...it's like a motivational book I think. Sort of like Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk... It goes against the grain of most start up/entreoreneurial advice now and is interesting. It works for 37Signals, might work for others too. I havent finished it yet, and even if I got some thoughts from it on how to run my own ventures in the future I can't call it incredibly great book...

Hot to get rich - by Felix Dennis (Dennis Publishing)

 

[Pinnacle]

Re-reading How to Be a Billionaire: Proven Strategies from the Titans of Wealth through a different set of lenses. Though I am still an aspiring billionaire, my understanding of economics has grown by leaps and bounds since I first read this book 4 years ago. I am looking at how some of the billionaires used government compulsion and influence as a tool to achieve their successes, as opposed to sheer ability (the path of free market entrepreneurs). Now, I know what NOT to do on my fastlane.

Started Switch by Chip and Dan Heath a few weeks ago. Seems like a good book on how to make or adjust to changes in a business like setting. Change is hard for most people and this book, I think will point out how to do it. Then I got sidetracked since I started the book since my boss wants me to read other books.
