The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

"Covey captures timeless truths on how to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peoplebest manage yourself and your relationships for better results at work and home. His concepts are simple, clear and most importantly, practical and applicable. Although I read the book many years ago, I find myself referring back to it often when consulting with or speaking for senior executives. It is a classic and should be a staple of everyone's reading collection."

 The Alchemist

 

"One book that I reread at least once a year is 'The alchemistAlchemist' by Paulo Coelho. Coelho is a wonderful storyteller. The Alchemist is an allegory about about love, faith, and the importance of finding and using our gifts. It's a powerful reminder about what' really important in our lives. "

 A Confederacy Of Dunces

 

"There is one book that, for me, serves as my 'go to' book when I need a boost and ita-confederacy-of-dunces is A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole.  I first read it while in school in New Orleans and loved it because so many of the characters Toole creates in the book are so easy to find in and around New Orleans.  I laughed out loud at some of those scenes and still today can hardly walk past a Lucky Dog vendor on Bourbon Street and not giggle.  Whenever I need a laugh I go back to that book and reread it and enjoy it each time."
