What book are you reading now? Would you recommend it?

I'm reading The Lean Startup from Eric Ries.

I highly recommend this book it talks about the lean startup methodology and how to iterate and create a successful product a lot quicker and with less cost. It is based on tech companies but it works for other businesses as well as your life.

  Wasn't that effective for me, still haven't finished reading the book, it's been 2 years.
  
  Have you heard of Zen to Done? Supposed to be a solution to all the issues that GTD has. It's actually working! A lot simpler to do.

OK, so this is not a positive book, but everybody who doesn't fit the topic, should read it. A real eye opener. "The Sociopath Next Door."
If you wonder one of the big reasons we have problems, read this.

"It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be." by Paul Arden.

I would highly recommend it. A lot of good, short chapters. Structured similarly to "Rework" by the 47signals folks. I suppose they may have taken it from Paul! Both are great books.

I'm reading three:

1. Kahuna Healing by Serg Kahili King

2. The Trick To Money Is Having Some by Stuart Wilde

3. The Sermon On The Mount by Emmet Fox (This is the literal interpretation of much of the book of Matthew without the secular mumbo jumbo). One of my favorite books of all time.

I'm reading: The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy: How the New World Order, Man-Man Diseases, and Zombie Banks are Destroying America by Jim Marrs.

Short Title: Zombie Nation. The publisher made the author change this title to the longer one for some strange reason. Another reason to self-publish, I guess.

I like the first quote in the book: "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." --George Orwell

That quote seems to fit perfectly in the times we are living in right now! What's wrong is right and what's right is wrong.
