Book Short Notes

I like to read. A LOT. And when I run across a really good 4* or 5* book, I feel compelled to take some notes. I can’t guarantee they’re nearly as good as the source, but I can guarantee at least one good nugget of awesomeness in each one.

UPDATE: These notes have been made part of the Strengths Community.

Notes:

  • Career: Assessing Skills for the Current Labor Market
    A set of information bits I gathered from a training seminar for tuning yourself for the current job market.
  • Finances: Comfort Zone Investing
    A very easy to read take on a sound, moderately less-risky way to approach investing.
  • Finances: The Intelligent Asset Allocator
    A bit detailed for some, but this book hits home on some very important aspects of investing.
  • Communication: Getting to Yes
    Here are my notes on this book about principled negotiations as opposed to the usual positional type.
  • Communication: How to Win Friends and Influence People
    This set of notes contains the bits I felt were important from this book on treating people right.
  • Communication: Monsters and Magic Sticks
    This is a run-down of my notes for this book on hypnosis, human psychology, and some fine unconscious learning surprises.
  • Communication: You Say More than You Think
    This is a run-down of my notes for this book on the ‘New’ Body Language.

"The reason for our existence is to quench the thirst of Jesus. When he asked for water, the soldier gave him vinegar to drink—but his thirst was for love, for souls, for you and me." —St. Teresa of Calcutta
