The No Complaining Ruleby Jon Gordon, John Wiley and Sons, New Jersey, 2008 I sometimes feel like I complain a lot, so just the title of the book was enough to convince me to give it a shot. I purchased and finished it the same day. It is an easy reading book about an imaginary character Hope and how she learns about and applies the no complaining rule in her life, to save her company and her family life. It is a good book overall, but reading it all in one day I noticed some repetitions in the foreword and in the story distracting my train of thoughts following the story. I believe it would be a lot nicer to listen to the author himself in one of his seminars. Can be purchased from: Amazon.com You can find more information at: http://www.jongordon.com/thenocomplainingrule.html |

Relativityby Albert Einstein, Barnes and Noble, New York, 2008. Originally published in 1920 This is a book originally authored by Einstein himself, and translated by Robert W. Lawson in 1920. It is a very nice to read Albert Einstein's own thoughts about theory of relativity. When I first heard about the theory of relativity I was perplexed by it's complexity, though reading this book page by page, allows you to walk on the foot steps of Einstein seeing how the theory evolved. The book can be purchased from: Barnes and Noble |

The Einstein Theory of RelativityA trip to the fourth dimension This book was first published in 1945. I have a 2008 publication from the Paul Dry Books. For many years even though I really wanted to read about the theory of relativity, I thought it was way over my head and I would never understand it. When I saw this book at the bookstore of a museum in Washington DC. I felt the same feeling, though I ended up buying it. Lillian R. Lieber's explanations are so clear this book is definitely a lay-reader's dream to enter the world of Einstein physics. It's one of the rare books that I felt that it definitely worth the time I spent reading it. The book can be purchased from: Amazon.com |

GuesstimationI always like to think outside the box. I believe it is definitely a talent that you can improve on by using it in every day life. Guesstimation is a guidebook to answer all those questions that one might think is very hard to answer at first. The aim of the game is to find a way to tackle the problem at hand, convert it to easy numbers your brain can handle, and get a guesstimate. Have fun guestimating ;) The book is from Princeton Press, and it is authored by Lawrence Weinstein and John A. Adam. It can be purchased from: Amazon.com |
