My Favourite Books

These books have real, interesting ideas to share, with a significant amount of interesting content. It's valuable to read non-sales books to broaden your horizons.

The Current List

1. Wooden (the ultimate way to look at life and success...thank you Jared Katzman for introducing me to this)
2. The Toyota Way (this is my all time favorite, though it's not for everyone)
3. How to Become CEO (Jeff Fox; an easy read packed with useful information, though he needs a new list of books to study...Webster's dictionary?)
4. How to Become a Great Boss (same as above)
5. Double Your Profits in 6 Months or Less (it's the psychology, not the 78 tips, that's invaluable)6. The Leadership Challenge (Poisner & Kouzes; backed by research and metrics)
7. The Power of Simplicity (simplicity works, complexity doesn't)8. Influence, the Psychology of Persuasion (very interesting...why do people buy?)
9. The Tipping Point (Malcolm's overrated, but I like that he thinks different)
10. Good to Great (because he's right about this stuff)

"The Winning" by Jack Welsh is my all time Favourite and helped my Transform my life completely.
