I picked up The Ripple Effect hoping to learn some tricks I could use in a current job search in the midst of my career. What I found was advice on how better to live my life and expand on both my personal and professional networks. I now find myself thinking of ways in which I can add value to other people in my networks and with whom I can connect them to make a positive impact.

Powerful, concise, clear, simple and filled with insight - I would recommend The Ripple Effect to anyone looking to examine how the choices they make change the world around them.

Dennis Davis's unique background as both a veteran and human resources professional gives him an insightful perspective about the values veterans bring to employers.  The stories in his book are not only moving, but also serve as excellent examples of the values,  talents and characteristics prevalent in our nation's veterans.  Dennis discusses the difference between skill based and value based hiring, making clear the advantages of hiring based on values.  I worked in human resources for many years and I highly recommend this book for anyone responsible for hiring.  It is a quick read, packed with a powerful message.

I got so much more out of this little book, only 115 pages, but they are powerful.  Dr. Hagee's insights on the bible, what we need to know about our future, left me at peace.  He also discussed the compacts made with the Jews and that too left me feeling more at peace that I have for years.  Made me look at things differently than current teaching lead us to believe.  I actually got this book as an add-on, after a bundling suggestion by Amazon, and read it first.  You would be doing yourself a favor to read this book.

Full of information and insight, INTENTIONAL LIVING combines insight with strategy.  While most self-help books seem lightweight and academic books too ponderous, Dr, Trapp has successfully bridged the gap between the two.  In this cogent, thoughtful, and highly informative book, she deals with the daunting and complex issues of behavior, motivation, and change--with a focus on helping the reader understand the practical applications of her advice.  Containing clarifying examples, reference to other authorities, rich anecdotes and scriptural references, this practical, readable and, most importantly, wise book moves the reader to a greater knowledge of  human dynamics.  As a writer and life-long journal keeper, I especially love the self-questions posed throughout the book and found myself reaching for a pen.

"Daring Greatly" was a wonderful and informative read made even more so by the timeliness of the material.  Brown has a wonderful conversational style of writing that loops in such a way as to intuitively bring the readier forward with sometimes complex statistical data.  She seems to know where she may loose her reader and swoops us back up with references to past topics, where she gently carries us forward. I had a good time reading "Daring Greatly" and feel I was gifted the material she presents here, such was its relevance. The strength in vulnerability; the actual necessity of it within our lives sends a powerful message to existing perspectives prevalent in our culture.  Brown mined courageously from this tapped vein of golden wisdom.

This book is all inclusive.  It provides practical, but powerful principles accompanied with a well-thought-out workbook that chronicles a step-by-step process to discovering your God-given purpose.  What is especially refreshing is that the book does not promise any overnight revelations.  Carson keeps the book real with testimonials of struggles and frustrations while walking out her own journey to purposeful living.  A tone of honesty and sincerity is presented throughout its pages.  Without a doubt, this book delivers a detailed passageway to a life of purpose, passion and power.

Fantastic book that concisely merges leadership, business, and spiritual insights to give readers a long-range view of God's lifelong leadership development process. Loved this book and highly recommend it!

Full disclosure: I know Wade, the author, personally. The fact that he lives out this book gives his words more power. He travels the world preaching the gospel and has even lived in Germany with his wonderful wife Linda for several years developing leaders, singing, and preaching about Jesus. He is a fine leader both in the business realm and in ministry. I hope you are blessed to meet him one day!

Benezet shows us with great insight and clarity how leaders and aspiring leaders can overcome often unrecognized limitations to venture beyond the comfortable into the unknown and thereby achieve "bigger bets".  She delivers this powerful message by combining the story of her incredible years as the head of Global Real Estate during Amazon's early years with the story of a day in a fictional business full of characters we all know, work with or who look a lot like us!  It's rare to read a book that both educates and entertains so effectively.  Bonnie Gottlieb, SVP, Industry & Member Affairs, National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts

A powerful book filled with wisdom and insight that can make a major difference to the personal fulfillment and ultimate success of any minority person in a corporate world.

This wise little book should be considered as a "Must Read", not only for employees, but corporate leadership as well. It will make a positive difference in the work experience for the minority individual and the bottom line of the corporation.

Steven Lyle has drawn from his many leadership experiences, including as chief diversity officer for Texas Instruments, and his personal insights as a minority--a gay man--in the corporate setting to provide powerful guidelines for any minority person.

I believe this easy-to-read book will prove especially valuable to personnel in Human Resource and Staff Development departments.

Some books you read just once, and others you keep close at hand.  This one's the latter.  Seven Cups of Consciousness is insightful, engaging, humorous and packed with valuable tools and resources to help navigate through life without so much drama and trauma.  The meditations and protocols are powerful, so sip at your own pace and you may just find that your cup is filled to the brim with clarity.  And, you know what they say, "On the heals of clarity, joy is never far behind."

I could see immediately the personal passion which he has put in to this book.  It isn't just another off-the-shelf help-me-quick guide like many other books, but an insight journey in an easily readable format.  You can read it in a day or three and take from it what you want, but its much better to take it a chapter at a time and reflect on what hes putting over to you.  I secretly like to think he wrote this book for me because right now it is the book which has helped me raise the bar a bit higher in my life just when I needed it.
