I am often put off by books about making money. Or I was. After reading Robert Kiyosaki’s book, I started scooping up plenty of books about making money, to see which ones were helpful and which ones just talked a good game. One of the best of the bunch is Loral Langemeier’s The Millionaire Maker: [...]

I’m rarely as impressed with a business book as I was with Tony Hsieh’s Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose (amazon affiliate link). The reason is that not only does Tony do a remarkable job weaving great stories and narrative into the book, but he gives you so much actionable information that [...]

I’m grateful that my dad, Steve Brogan, is available to do video book reviews for Hachette Audiobooks from time to time.

It was a great story of an imperfect person finding a strange-but-compelling link to her [...]

My friend, Adam, sent me a copy of Tony Schwartz’s The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working: The Four Forgotten Needs That Energize Great Performance (amazon affiliate link). It’s the kind of book I’m afraid people will buy but not read, or that you’ll read it but not do what it recommends. There’s a lot [...]
