Title : Think and Grow Rich!: The Original Version, Restored and Revised
Author : Napoleon Hill
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Reminds me of me............
well I have got to admit that reading this book is like reading my life story!, I admit that 'yes' I'm a wealthy millionaire and this book 'Think and grow rich' written by Mr Hill has completely stated my true personalities. Besides the thirteenth step about the 'sixth sense', everything else is basically a list that represent ME. Well I beleive this book is over rated, YES I AM RICH and this book does state my personality BUT it doesn't nessecerily make YOU rich. It's helpful, it makes you confident but it will not make you rich. YOU MAKE YOU RICH. I did not become rich because I have this characteristic and traits. I'm rich because i'm discipline and talented. Not everybody is equal. If you're talented and naturaly gifted then you will automaticly develop these traits from birth. (thats just the way it is)
People who change their personality and characteristics because a book tell them to will not be RICH. You may be more confident in yourself but you will not be rich unless you are talented. e.g. Henry Ford may not have much schooling but he is talented therefore he become rich despite his education.(you don't have to have an eduction to be talented, though it is essential).
I gave this book 4 stars because CONFIDENCE is crucial and this book helps provide the confidence and spirit in people. For success training I give this book a 2, because it states the correct characteristics but not the method.
But if you want to IMPROVE your skills and qualities then you need:
1) Discipline
2) Dedication/persistence
3) Hardwork/determination
4) Practice practice practice
5) Confidence
6) Ambition along with personality
This is what you need to improve yourself, though getting use to the habit of discipline can be difficult.( PRACTICE is VERY VERY essential)

Title : Sticky Wisdom
Author : Dave Allan
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : In the end, all businesses survive on innovation...
After the "popping of the e-bubble" the last few years have been a tad hard for many businesses. Huge losses, unemployment (not so much in the UK) and a renewed focus on core activities have not made for the most innovative of environments. Now in 2004/05, with profits recovering, the next two challenges for business are innovation for growth and operational effectiveness for decreasing marginal costs and customer satisfaction.
"What if" is an innovation consultancy who offer a set of steps and practical ideas of how to enhance innovation in your business. This book is the follow up to "What If" (this is an improvement in layout, but you don't need both books). The innovation stages are great and it helped me to understand at a high level where my current team are strong and weak, but I think it is the practical nature of the ideas, tools and methods that is the strength of this book.
I really like the different ideas for enabling creative thinking - random connections, opposites, physical trials, focused "hothousing"...each will help you to advance from the normal set of brainstormed ideas that your workshops probably generate at the moment - how many of them couldn't anyone in your industry think of?
What if is a consultancy as well and it is possible that I might get to work with them sometime soon - I am really looking forward to trying out with the experts some of these techniques.
Mind expanding stuff when applied to your eveyday problems - might even help you enjoy your work more - now wouldn't that be a thing!

Title : The Four Agreements: Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (Toltec Wisdom)
Author : Don Miguel Ruiz
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Simple and straightforward
Miguel Ruiz presents the most direct, simple, and yet profound answers to basic questions about why we are here in this life and how should we conduct ourselves. He has shown me that I can look within to find my own personal truth. The very best thing about these teachings are the straightforward tools that Miguel Ruiz gives us to change our old belief systems and agreements. I have used them, and they work! I got this book as an addition to "Can We Live 150" by M. Tombak - another powerful book about living simple, healthy and happy life. Both books has freed me to live a much more authentic and healthy life. I have read those two books many times an have given them to many friends, as I believe that both physical and mental health are the best gifts you can offer to anyone.

Title : Be Your Own Life Coach: How to Take Control of Your Life and Achieve Your Wildest Dreams
Author : Fiona Harrold
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A life-changing book
Fiona's fabulous book has confirmed in my mind that I want to become a life-coach. Her style is easy to read, no-nonsense and very persuasive. She has inspired me to change my attitude on many topics and since I have read the book I have become 100% happier with myself and my life. She makes you realise that,if you're unhappy, the person that is responsible for changing that is YOU. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to do something different in their lives but can't quite muster up the courage to achieve it. I would also highly recommend it to budding life-coaches like myself.

Title : Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Brain
Author : Joseph Dispenza
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Amazing
This is a great read just for the fun of it, Dispenza's story of self healing a broken back is amazing but without any bull he shows the key elements of others who ahve done this too.
This book also goes into great detail on how the mind brain body work together from mainly a scientific viewpoint and how we can make changes to evlove our frontal lobes to quickly change bad patterns of behaviour replace them with good.
the advice is simple and achieveable by anyone who can read.
Its not a short book as its crammed with lots of information but if you just wish to get to the nitty gritty of making changes its possible to skip the understanding and just work on the bits you need
I hope he will write further books in the future
