Books (Reviewed and Recommended Reading)

The following books are provided for your reference. In certain instances book summaries are also available.

The Purple Cow

The world is changing ever more rapidly, and the rules of marketing are no different, writes Goddin, the field's reigning guru. The old ways-run-of-the-mill TV commercials, ads in the Wall Street Journal and so on-don't work like they used to, because such messages are so plentiful that consumers have tuned them out. This means you have to toss out everything you know and do something "remarkable"

The E-Myth Revisited

In this revised and updated edition, small business consultant and author Michael Gerber dispels the myths about starting your own business. With a sharp business insight gained from years of experience, he points out how common assumptions, expectations, and even technical expertise can get in the way of running a successful business. Michael teaches you how to grow your business in a predictable, productive way that will enable you to truly control your own destiny. Yes, small businesses fail at an alarmingly high rate. But yours doesn't have to be one of them.

Summary

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

For any of you who have tried to read Deepak Chopra and found it hard going, this is the book I can recommend you read.

In the Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that robs us of joy and creates needless suffering. Based on the ancient wisdom from ancient Mexico, The Four Agreements offers a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness and love.

Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind by Jack Trout

A guide to marketing and advertising strategy, reprinted from the 1980 classic, based on the fundamental notion that success is not about having the best product or service, but about planting the right idea in the customer's head and keeping it there.

Magicians Way by William Whitecloud

If ever you wish to read a book that will make you realise that you have the capacity to achieve what ever you wish or to get you out of the "rut" you find yourself in then this is one I would recommend to anyone.

"The Magician’s Way is a rare gem of a book that reveals the most effortless way in which we can create the richest life possible."
