The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms

TweetI picked up this book simply because it was by Nassim Taleb, and I wasn’t the least disappointed. Nassim’s ability to articulate things that you already think of and know (but don’t know that you know) is simply unmatched. It allows you to look at things you’ve always seen from a different new prespective that [...]

The Dressmaker of Khair Khana: Five Sisters, One Remarkable Family, and the Woman Who Risked Everything to Keep Them Safe

TweetAlthough the author has spent time in Afghanistan, the book is swarming with pure westerns misconceptions and stereotypical offensive insinuations about Islam and the way women are treated under it. If you are able to get pass that, the book is actually well written, captivating and the story is very interesting. I did, however, at [...]

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

This is one of the few books I read that I would call “Perspective-altering” where it forces you to look at things from a whole different angel, and deal with them in a different way than you once did.

The Power of Enterprise-Wide Project Management

I like Dennis’ approach in presenting complex and advanced concepts in an easy and related way. Makes reading such other wise boring stuff very enticing, even for the non-expert audience.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!

TweetI have really confused feelings about this book. The idea that it was a huge success and best seller for ever is a bit shocking to me, not that it’s not good, because it is, but it’s sooooo… what’s the right word for what I’m thinking of: Disturbing! I don’t want to throw away the [...]

Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite

Just like the rest of Paul Arden’s books… the book is full of things that you already know, and already have been exposed to in your life, but it is structured and put in a nice way that sticks to your head, and makes it easier for you to carry out in your daily life!

It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want to Be: The World’s Best Selling Book

Great little book.If you’re thinking that you will get something new, totally revolutionary, and out of the box, you will be very disappointed. The advise and ideas in the book are very widely known, things you already do, and in most cases, the author keeps repeating himself.However, its really sweet, easy read, and provides a great positive reenforcement to you, and assures you that you will get your desired success.I recomend this book to anyone from fresh grads to seasoned executives.
