Carry a Big Stick: The Uncommon Heroism of Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt's exploits--and his faith--come to life in this rousing biography by George Grant. By his 50th birthday, Roosevelt had served as President of the U.S., had been a war hero, had run a cattle ranch out west, worked as a journalist and editor, conducted scientific expeditions on four continents, raised five children and enjoyed a life-long romance with his wife. No wonder he continues to capture our imaginations.

Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence

Then, Working with Emotional Intelligence revealed how stellar career performance also depends on EI.

The Power of Full Engagement

Authors Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz demonstrate in this groundbreaking book that managing energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness, and life balance.  The Power of Full Engagement is a highly practical, scientifically based approach to managing your energy more skillfully both on and off the job.  This book is grounded in twenty-five years of work with some of the world's greatest athletes to help them perform more effectively under brutal competitive pressures. During the past decade, dozens of Fortune 500 companies have benefited from this system. So have FBI swat teams, critical care physicians and nurses salesmen, and stay-at-home moms.

Blink: The Power of Thinking without Thinking

How do we make decisions--good and bad--and why are some people so much better at it than others? That's the question Malcolm Gladwell asks and answers in the follow-up to his huge bestseller, The Tipping Point. Utilizing case studies as diverse as speed dating, pop music, and the shooting of Amadou Diallo, Gladwell reveals that what we think of as decisions made in the blink of an eye are much more complicated than assumed. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology, he shows how the difference between good decision-making and bad has nothing to do with how much information we can process quickly, but on the few particular details on which we focus.

Good to Great

Jim Collins begins this book with a startling and counterintuitive claim: "Good is the enemy of great." We've become so conditioned to think of performance as something that develops along evolutionary lines -- from poor to good to outstanding -- that it takes a minute to grasp the notion that competence can actually inhibit achievement. As Collins says, "The vast majority of companies never become great, precisely because the vast majority become quite good -- and that is their main problem."

The Science of Getting Rich

The Science of Getting Rich, written by Wallace Wattles, is a clear-cut, practical guide not only to acquiring riches, but also to advancing personal growth. With its timeless principles, it is the forerunner of every other personal finance and self-help book.  The principles put forth by the author as far back as the year 1910 are as valuable today as they were then. The foundations of a science never change.  This book helps you to learn how to create wealth in your life without a deep study of metaphysics or financial theories. Claim your right to be rich and live your life to the fullest potential!

The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life

The Art of Possibility by Benjamin Zander offers a set of breakthrough practices for creativity in all human enterprises. Infused with the energy of their dynamic partnership, the book joins together Ben's extraordinary talent as a mover and shaker, teacher, and communicator, with Rosamund Stone Zander's genius for creating innovative paradigms for personal and professional fulfillment. In lively counterpoint, the authors provide us with a deep sense of the powerful role that the notion of possibility can play in every aspect of our lives.

Written by top-selling author, former Fortune 500 executive, and business consultant James A. Autry, this remarkable journey helps you uncover a set of skills and ideals that will transform the way you do business. It helps you nurture the needs and goals of those who look to you for leadership. The result is a more productive, successful, and happier organization, and a more meaningful life for you.

The E-Myth Revisited

Michael Gerber dispels the myths surrounding starting your own business and shows how commonplace assumptions can get in the way of running a business. Next, he walks you through the steps in the life of a business—from entrepreneurial infancy, through adolescent growing pains, to the mature entrepreneurial perspective, the guiding light of all businesses that succeed—and shows how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business, whether or not it is a franchise. Finally, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business. After you have read The E-Myth Revisited, you will truly be able to grow your business in a predictable and productive way.

How to Win Friends and Influence People

Originally published in 1936, this is the archetype of the practical human relations handbook by Dale Carnegie. Carnegie opens with fundamental techniques for dealing with people, such as refraining from criticism and expressing sincere appreciation. Making people like you by smiling, remembering names, and being a good listener are encouraged. Final sections describe approaches for persuading people to your way of thinking and how to change people without causing offense or resentment.
