The
17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player
By
John Maxwell
Thomas Nelson, 2002 - 156 pages
I
believe Maxwell's interpretations are right on the money and a
very refreshing way of looking at teamwork, a skill that is
essential in today's economy and future economy, which
promises to be more based on social skills and business
networks. More

Body
For Life
By
Bill Phillips
HarperCollins, 1999 - 224 pages
Body
For Life, while it is somewhat a promotional vehicle for EAS
Myoplex, is a very sound book on nutrition and exercise. Most
importantly, Mr. Phillips tries to get people to look within
themselves and try to find out what they want out of a fitness
program and goals in life. More

Don't
Send a Resume
By
Jeffrey J. Fox
Hyperion, 2001 - 192 pages
I have read two of
Mr. Fox’s books and really like his writing style.
That is why, when I recently decided to rejoin
the workforce, I decided to pick up this book.
I had a feeling I would get some unique insights
into job hunting from this book and I wasn’t
disappointed. More

The
Power of Leadership
By
John Maxwell
Honor Books, 2001 - 157 pages
The
Power of Leadership is one of my favorite quick reads (short
book) with very useful quotes and stories from some of the
world's greatest businessmen and politicians. The book has a
quote and then a brief evaluation of what the quote is trying
to convey to the reader. More

The
Business Plan For The Body
By
Jim Karas
Three Rivers Press, 2001 - 237 pages
This
is a good book folks but, make no mistake about it folks, this
book or any other book/weight loss program won't help you
long-term. The long-term success rates dealing with the obese
and their success at keeping off weight are in the vicinity of
2-3%. More

The
Power of Thinking Big
By
John Maxwell
Honor Books, 2001 - 160 pages
This
book is not Maxwell’s best book and I believe he quotes
himself way too much (1/3 of the total quotes are his!).
At time the book borders on Arrogance.
His best books on inspirational / motivational /
leadership are Power
of Leadership and Power
of Attitude (these
are similar size books and quick reads.) More

The
21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
By John
Maxwell
Thomas Nelson, 1998 - 233 pages
This is a book more on tactics than on ethics, which puts it
in the first category. Nothing
at all wrong with studying tactics -- but even the finest
sense of tactics isn't going to do you much good without a
well-chosen goal. More
