Favorite book of a good friend of mine, but it didn’t really do it for me. It’s all over the place, and there’s a whole lot of pseudo-science. There are couple of interesting passages, but I can’t recommend the book as a whole.

Popular book on money management with a handful of decent insights. I’m fairly certain you could find those points in other books that aren’t as willingly deceptive (for one, rich dad is completely fictional) and self-congratulatory.

Very interesting meditation on what it means, and what it takes, to be aware. I thought this was relatively down to earth as far as mindfulness books go, and a nice starting point for anyone interested in the concept.
