The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life

Rosamund Stone Zander, Benjamin Zander

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

In my top ten of favorite books
I read a lot. I average 2-4 non-fiction books a month. Zander's book - The Art of Possibility - is in my top ten list. I read it one or two times every year. It doesn't get old. I was very fortunate to be part of a conference a few years ago where Dr. Zander ...

Security Analysis: Sixth Edition, Foreword by Warren Buffett (Security Analysis Prior Editions)

Benjamin Graham, David Dodd

McGraw-Hill, 2008

Known as "The Bible"
and there is good reason for it. This is the book that can make you wealthy. The added essays for this edition are fabulous and well worth many times the price of the book. More than technique value investing is an attitude and a logical thinking pattern. Benjamin ...

Obsessed with Star Wars

Benjamin Harper

Chronicle Books, 2008

Fun, challenging and educational
I have to admit that I am *not* obsessed with Star Wars. I've seen Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi a few times each, but the remaining films only once. I haven't read the comics or books, either. So, I went into this expecting to have my light ...

The Billionaire's Vinegar: The Mystery of the World's Most Expensive Bottle of Wine

Benjamin Wallace

Crown, 2008

Interesting peek inside the world of rare wines
This book provides a great look inside the very high end of wine collecting - the people, the history and of course the wines. The author offers up a fascinating portrait of the people whose trade or avocation is the finding, selling and drinking of 100+ year old fine ...

Benjamin Franklin: An American Life

Walter Isaacson

Simon & Schuster, 2004

Highly readable, non-academic treatment
Walter Isaacson's resume reads much like that of his subject; businessman, publisher, head of a non-profit society and author. One wonders where he has found the time to produce this book and the biographies of Henry Kissinger and most recently that of Albert ...

Secrets of Mental Math: The Mathemagician's Guide to Lightning Calculation and Amazing Math Tricks

Arthur Benjamin, Michael Shermer

Three Rivers Press, 2006

Wow!
This book is great! This book teaches you tricks that really work and really makes you wonder how people came up with them. One thing I wanted to reccommend - Although this book is for mental math, going through it, I always kept a pencil and paper by my side - ...

The Intelligent Investor: The Definitive Book on Value Investing. A Book of Practical Counsel (Revised ...

Benjamin Graham, Jason Zweig

Collins Business, 2003

Best Book to Eliminate Wall Street Propaganda
After being a stockbroker, and starting to deal with the market when I was 18, this book makes the best sense of the thinking process for investing. I first read this when my father gave me a copy when I turned 18. It still makes a great deal of sense and is rewritten ...

Anatomy Coloring Book, The (3rd Edition)

Wynn Kapit, Lawrence M. Elson

Benjamin Cummings, 2001

Anatomy Coloring Book
I purchased both this and the Physiology Coloring Book and they are great! Not only does coloring in the images reinforce what I'm studying, but the text portion (explanations) are added bonuses. I highly recommend both.

The Intelligent Investor: The Classic Text on Value Investing

Benjamin Graham

Collins Business, 2005

A classic -- still worth reading after 60 years
Since reading Graham, I keep running into his name everywhere -- and for good reason. Graham (and his disciple Warren Buffet) does not talk about -- or believe in -- get-rich-quick schemes (those are speculation), but in sound principles of looking for solid, well-run ...

How to Go to College Almost for Free

Ben Kaplan

Collins, 2001

Great Info
I gave this book to my twin daughters so they could to the college they wanted instead of just afford. It was great information and landed them in the private college they wanted for a community college price...recommend reading.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007

Necessary knowledge
This condensed easy-to-read volume provides useful necessary contemporary knowledge about the brain,current drugs and therapies. I highly recommend it as an adjunct quickie-reference along-side the dsm

The Tao of Pooh

Benjamin Hoff

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1983

Golden nuggets of wisdom from the Tao in soiled wrappings?
It is true that Hoff seems to display a certain "dislike" or "bias" against things that go against his vision of the Tao, but overall, this is a wonderful, enjoyable book that gets across in a rather easy and simple manner some ideas central to Taoism, especially when ...

Security Analysis: The Classic 1951 Edition

Benjamin Graham

McGraw-Hill, 2004

A Must Read
This is the a must read for any investors. It is, however, quite difficult for beginners to comprehend, though. At least I didn't understand it quite well until after I took Corporate Finance, Accounting, etc... and studied for my CFA exam. I'd recommend beginners ...
