WHICH BOOKS TO READ
FOR MORE EFFECTIVE LEARNING

Determining which books to read increases the value of your learning.   Learning at random is seldom even a tenth or hundredth as effective. 

At The Stanford Graduate School Of Business, seeing the vast number of possible books on business and life, I asked the professors to recommend the top few books that they felt would be the most beneficial.  The tradition was continued in the school magazine for more than 10 years. 

Sifting and prioritizing are always useful. 

So, with that, I offer you the following:

OVERALL LISTINGS

Recommended Books And Resources - The main page to go to to link into the area of interest.  When you go to the area of interest book page, you can then scan for what could be of interest.  There are a substantial number of options, but they are often prioritized as to importance and which one to read first.  (See the information box on this page:  Prioritization System.)

The Best Books Lists - A listing and linking to the best books in various areas, a bit duplicative of the overall Recommended Books And Resources.

Master List Of Books, CD's, DVDs And Workshops - This list crosses and integrates all the areas, but into a prioritized list of what to read first in each area.


"SHORTCUT" LISTS

The Most Powerful Life Books Of All - The "must read" books for wisdom in life.
The Positive Thinking Reading/Learning List
