Hey Everyone,

I've written a couple of book reviews/summaries on some self-improvement books. Just wanted to share them with you guys. Here's the first one:

If the feedback is good, I will share more =)

This should be a very good book for most of us, since we are always placed in "impromptu" situations where comment or opinion is expected. Should keep one from putting "foot-in-mouth" while conversing. Should prove to be a good and educational read.

Great stuff! Em and I met Kotler in Dubai last year, with Tom Peters. He gave great advice on how to create uncontested marketspace by adding differentials to your offer.

Our self development book is out in 2008 - GO!Smell the flowers.

Hmmm... if self help and self improvement are the same thing, then yes, but I have not heard of the one you mentioned. Mine fall more into the recovery category.

  I write on personal development/self-improvement/growth
  The two books above are mainly to do with people skills (public speaking/marketing) because the theme for my website richgrad.com is "Personal Development for the Book Smart"
  
  Of course, I'm also very interested in business and entrepreneurship =P

  Interesting article, SiuilRuin. Will definitely send the positive thinkers into despair and bottom out the self-help business.
