Some Non-It Books
Since I have been a kid, I have always been reading a lot. There were years in my life where I just read a handful of books a year. Lately though, because of my frequent train rides, internet-free home and a general thirst for extra information, I have been reading a lot. Anyway, here are some non-"IT" books I have read over the years and which I recommend. :)
WHY SMART PEOPLE MAKE STUPID MONEY MISTAKES AND HOW TO CORRECT THEM - Well, this is my first economic psychology book. I read it some 5 years back and some of the lessons still ring in my head. For example, this is the reason why I will never attempt to paint my own room or assemble my own furniture just because the opportunity cost is far greater than the actual cost. :) Quite an interesting read.
SUCCESS SYNDROME - A psychological explanation that indeed the race is far more exciting than the finish line.
21 INDISPENSABLE QUALITIES OF A LEADER - Written by John C. Maxwell and is a real nice book to read when you want to read something, learn from it and don´t have the time otherwise.
FURTHER ALONG THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED - A sequel to The Road Less Travelled, it explores how faith evolves and devolves.
HYPNOSIS FOR BEGINNERS- More than anything it made me realize the power of the unconscious. I am more Jungian than Freudian but this is a really nice book!
Well, these are what comes to my mind so far. I can update you later if I come up with more.
