Books

Reading good books is a sure way to add fuel to your inner fire. I especially enjoy books with uplifting messages, motivational material, or insightful and/or original lessons that can be applied to my life. The Book Rankings section of my site is designed to assist book readers in finding books that will add value to their lives. There are millions of books to choose from and this section of the site helps you determine which books you should read and which you can skip over. The book reviews posted also give you insight into what the book is about thus helping you determine if a book interests you or not. All books that are rated 3 stars and above on the site I would definitely recommend, as they’ve added value, insight, and/or inspiration into my life. These books help add fuel to the inner fire and often teach lessons that can improve both your professional and personal life.

Looking at the Book Rankings, you can see I read a variety of books though many are business oriented. However, not all of them are. For example, Three Weeks With My Brother is a memoir on the author’s life and has little to do with business though its messages can be applied to the many different parts of your life. Additionally, many of the business oriented books such as Leadership and Self-Deception can have just as much meaning—if not more—in your personal life. So, please read through the reviews to determine which books might interest you most, and select those books that will help add fuel to your inner fire.

Additionally, I try to be a fairly critical judge of the books I read to ensure my readers select only books that will truly inspire or help them in some meaningful way. The reviews are based on my personal opinion, and your opinion may vary. However, I believe almost anyone would enjoy most of the books with a 3 star rating and above. A few exceptions may be books such as Good to Great or Competing for the Future since they may mostly interest business minded individuals. Look for more detailed reviews of some of the books on the home page under the book reviews category in my blogs, as I often write more detailed reviews about books I’ve recently read.

New books will be posted fairly frequently as I am constantly reading. Please check back whenever you are in need of finding an interesting book or are curious about a book you’ve heard about to see if I’ve read it. Occasionally you may find books posted on the site without a review. This means I’m in the process of reading the book, and I am probably almost done. As soon as I complete the book, a review will be posted.

Good books are a great way to fuel your inner fire and overcome the negativity that surrounds us. Books can teach us wonderful things and drive and inspire us to reach our full potential. Find books that have meaning to you, and take time to read a little bit each day. If you don’t know where to find good books, I recommend reading the books with a 3 star rating and above on my website. As you take the time to read good books, your fire will burn.
