What Books Do You Recommend for Saturday University?
Construction of our new City Centre Public Library – the second largest in the Lower Mainland – began a year ago.
Construction is nearly completed! The library will apparently open in August. The Official Grand Opening Celebration is scheduled for Saturday, September 24th, 2011.
I eagerly await!
i haven’t been lost in the stacks for hours, reading bits n pieces of what I discovered, since my university years, many moons ago. Darrell’s and mine first “date†was at the Vancouver Library. (That’s another story!)
Once the library opens, I am beginning Saturday University – an idea I’m borrowing from my friend Paul Merrill. Rather than spending mega bucks getting a Masters degree, Paul spent a few hours each Saturday at a local cafe, reading the books he wanted to and then found ways to implement the relevant nuggets in his own life and business. I love that idea!
I am looking forward to reading the books that people have mentioned to me and the ones I’ve seen but haven’t had a chance to read yet.
The thing is: I haven’t been keeping a list of these books. Ooops! The ones to readily come to mind are:
- The Purple Cow by Seth Godin
- Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon Sinek (the free preview was fascinating)
- The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It by Michael E. Gerber
- Tell to Win: Connect, Persuade, and Triumph with the Hidden Power of Story by Peter Guber (again, the sample was intriguing prospect
What books do you recommend to flesh out my Saturday University reading list? Everyone is welcomed to read along.
