Thanks, Mark! I haven’t read Scott Adams’ How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big yet, but I’m adding it to my list. Sounds good.

I’d agree with you on listening vs reading. Since I commute to Nashville 3-4 days per week to visit clients, I have a fair amount of windshield time. I use that to listen to books. That works great for some books, but others make me wish I’d spent dedicated quiet time with the paper version.

I liked the E-Myth revisited. Very good book for entrepreneurs and small business owners. I don’t agree with 100% off it, but a lot of it is spot on.

I’ve been meaning to do some book review blogs for the books listed here and on the resources page.

Great read/listen! What did you think of E-Myth Revisited? I’ve got that on my Amazon Wishlist, but haven’t gotten around to buying it yet.

A few days ago I finished Scott Adams’ How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big (via Audible). Plan to write a book review soon. Was interesting and helped link a few other personal development concepts together in ways I hadn’t thought of before. I don’t agree completely with some of his ideas, but that’s okay. Does tend to use the BS word with some degree of regularity.

Now listening to Pre-Suasion by Robert Cialdini. Sometimes wishing I was reading instead of listening; this one would benefit from more focused attention.
