Default Re: Book Recommendations


Great replies one and all, and I'm delighted to see that I have only read a few of those suggested so far! I have attempted a book a week for almost 50 years, and I have no intention of slowing down.

My own foundation list includes Joseph Campbell, some of the world's great scriptures and commentary on same...oh heck, I don't know where to start. There is one book that I have recently discovered that I strongly recommend. Instead of being a spiritual guide it is marketed as a business tool. It is also a tool for refining your self-understanding, your understanding of others, and becoming in effect your own life coach. The book is called Strengths Finder 2.0 and the author is Tom Rath. It's in the business section. I've posted about this book elsewhere so I won't go into another rave here about it.

Strengths Finder 2.0 will help you identify your greatest abilities, nurture them continuously, network effectively with others, and plot a path for future growth.
