The year of the self- Books I am reading

This New Year can take credit for this if it wants but I am on a road to self-discovering, self-improvement and career development. In the last two weeks, I have read four business/self motivational books and I have plans to review many of the business concepts I learned at business school as well as read articles and books to help me become grow intellectually, spiritually and professional.
The first book I read this year “Smart Choices: A Practical Guide to Making Better Decisions” by Hammond, Keeney and Raiffa talks about the correct way to attack problems, it was recommended by one of my business school professors who told my class that it come in handy throughout our lives and he was right. I have read other books and articles where others have describe using the same concepts to solve problems as discussed in the book

The second book is called “Women, Work and the Art of Savoir Faire” by Mireille Guiliano, in this book she gives advice about the dos and don’ts in business taking from her experiences and the experiences of those around her. The book was a great read and true to form she includes some recipes which I still have yet to try, I am not big on cooking (she will not be pleased).

The third book is called Self Promotion for Introverts by Nancy Ancowitz, yes I am one and this book comes with exercise that reminded me of my marketing class lectures ( I love marketing). Interesting tidbits, Nancy met President Bill Clinton whiles she was working on the book and he told her he is an introvert. Yes, fellow introverts, this is a book for us, and I just need to get up the courage to start applying what I have learned.

I am still reading the fourth book, which is called Healing your Aloneness, and it is by Margaret Paul and Erica, J. Chopich. I heard about this book whiles watching Miss Morissette show us her condo apartment courtesy of the MTV program” Cribs” on you tube, thus as the curious Gemini that I am bought it when I saw it in the store. Surprisingly I am enjoying the book; I have used some of the tips to calm my inner child.
