Save the Money - Get Your Personal MBA Right Here

Ran across this excellent list by John Kaufman. I’ve read probably 40% of these books and tend to agree with his selections. I tend to read 3-5 business books a year. Typically I identify at least 3-4 key concepts from each that shape the way I think.

I recommend doing the 10-days to Faster Reading as the first selection. I was already a fast reader when I read this (surprise to me - I thought I was slow), but actually improved my reading speed by 25% on average and my scanning speed by 100%. I’ve learned that for most business books, you can scan 50% of it and slow down and read 50%.

If you get through these 77 books - I will hereby annoint you with the the letters P.M.B.A. behind your name (though your mileage may vary)! Pick a couple, you might learn something!

One of my favorite sites - Lifehacker

I don’t do as much “web-surfing” as much as I used to, but I do occassionally run across some great stuff.

One of my recent favorites is Lifehacker.com. It sort of the perfect bridge between “Head” and “Hands” - like the practical side of geekdome.

Check it out! The latest? How about, how to shine your shoes! Doesn’t get much more useful than that…
