| 1. |  | Outliers: The Story of Success
from Hachette Audio
Price: $26.39
Customer Review:
Gladwell provides a novel perspective on why some have made brilliant successes of their careers. Unfortunately, it is long on anecdote and short on analysis of the ecofactors that govern people's lives. There are no lessons for anyone who wishes to emulate Bill Gates. Its still a matter of talent,... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
from Back Bay Books
Price: $8.99
Customer Review:
Malcolm Gladwell writes well. But there is not much substance. Sometimes, there is a point in time something changes dramatically. Sometimes, it doesn't come. These first ones are by definition a Tipping Point. Is there anything really interesting here? Not really. How can a tautology be worth a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Penguin
Price: $7.94
Customer Review:
I have read the book and am now in the process of listening to the book on CD's. Wow - I can relate to most everything Eckhart speaks to, but I am struggling with the "how" - how to put it into practice. I am going to be joining an "Eckhart Tolle" discussion group this week and hope to gain more... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
from Back Bay Books
Price: $9.59
Customer Review:
There are some relevant points in this book. The main point that I gathered from this reading is that our unconscious does some of the thinking for us, and decisions relating to this thinking are some of the best. However, if people were to think why they made these decisions, then they might not... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Getting Things Done: The Art Of Stress-Free Productivity
from Simon & Schuster Audio
Price: $28.37
Customer Review:
I purchased this book since it has such high reviews on Amazon. Unfortunately, all the book provides are obsessive techniques on how to organize your tasks. Still, you would come up with them yourself anyway as they are all basic common sense.
If anything, taking the time to read this book... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
from Penguin Books Ltd
Customer Review:
Most of the criticisms of Taleb and this book seem sensible:
- His confidence sometimes seems to reach the level of condescending arrogance.
- With a wave of the hand, he dismisses those he disagrees with, even Nobel prize winners. And perhaps he oversimplifies their positions in order to... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
