Good thing I'm connected to a Librarian! Thanks for the list Charlie.
Charlie, Here are a few others:
Sorry, I tried to keep it short
Dare to Prepare: HOW to WIN Before You Begin by Ronald M. Shapiro
For those members of MCC involved in marketing, this book is a must read.
The Age of Engage - Denise Shiffman
"Reinventing Marketing for Today's Connected, Collaborative, and Hyperinteractive Culture"
Thanks, Ken - I just ordered it. In a few weeks we can start a new discussion about the contents!
Linda
I just finished The Celetine Prophecy by Redfield (twice)
Greg
Greg-
I have the 10th insight if you would like to read it...
Terry
Terry,
Thanks, I just picked up at the Library and ordered a copy for myself. By the way, what was the other book you recommended at the networking class? It had something to do with fear.
Greg
The book is "Beyond Fear" written by Don Miguel Ruiz. Having read the Celestine Prophecy, you will have a good basis for it. It can be a tad "heady" at times and I wouldn't recommend it as anyone's first book of a spiritual bent.
DMR also wrote a book, "The Four Agreements" that I think should be required 4th grade reading in our country. The agreements are simple and profound:
1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Don't make assumptions
3. Don't take things personally
4. Always do your best.
Now that's just solid advice.
Enjoy your weekned(s)

I just received my copy of "the answer" by John Asseraf and Murray Smith. For those of you who joined us in April, you know how powerful that book would be.
We have the opportunity to bring them back in October. Anyone interested in having John and Murray speak to our group again? This time we will let them take the whole time.
Terry
I think John Asseraf is great! Would love to see him speak again!
But I think Terry and Charlie are good speakers, too. Wouldn't rule them out, either.
I stayed up all night to finish this book, about which Tom Brokaw says, "Thrilling... proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world."
From the liner notes: "In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools - especially for girls - in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit."
Read it... because, as Mortenson says, if there is any hope that this war on terror will end, it will end through books, not bombs - and you will have no doubt of that when you've stayed up all night reading the story of this true American Hero.
Linda,
I read the book too and I agree it is awesome.
For those of you who want to do business in China, I just finished a fun book with a misleading title "Foreign Babes in Beijing: behind the scenes in new China" by Rachel Dewoskin. It gives a great perspective on living and working in China from an American point of view. Particularly a great aspect of (mis)communication opportunities. Translation of company names is an interesting key point to watch for;for example, Microsoft insisted on translating their name literally, ending up with a Chinese name meaning "flaccid and little"

Elizabeth - have you met/talked to Beverly Cornell (Iterotext Translation Services)? She does a great presentation on translations that have flopped (one was an airline promoting their new leather seats, in which the tag line they used translated to 'flying naked' . . . )
Glad to hear you found "Three Cups of Tea" an awesome read - perhaps one day soon the two of us can sit down to share a first one!
Linda
I highly recommend
Me, Myself and Why, by LIsa Mininni
