Hey Jeff,

I already bought Getting Things Done, but I know from reading Leo’s site that it’s likely high quality content. Most of these folks preach the same best practices anyways, so…

Thanks for the great list. I've added Landing Page Optimization and The Knack to my list of books to read. Having read Getting Things Done. I would probably recommend starting looking at Reading Zen To Done instead. It's a lot shorter and if you're already convinced that a GTD style system is something you're interested in, was equally helpful to me in terms of actually getting started and A LOT shorter. Mind you it doesn't have the same level of anecdotes or explanation as the book.

Thanks for the recommendations Glen. I own Trust Agents, like I said, n heard the name Crush It, even though IDK what it’s about.

Thanks also for sharing your other book recommendations. I’ll have to look into those!

Good to be back… where? On my site? Welcome back – I like your value added comments!

Doh, should have read your comment for the Dip. It looks like we feel the same way

Thanks for sharing your list man. Interesting that you liked the Dip as I really didn’t value it at all.

I’ve read some of Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk and right now I think it is looking amazing. The same goes for Trust Agents by Chris Brogan.

Other books I’ve actually read that I recommend:

Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz
The Four Agreements by Don Migeul Ruiz
How to Be Rich and Happy by Tim Brownson

None of these are specifically aimed at business, but they will transform the way you look at your own life and particularly, how you run your operations.

Good to be back!
