The Dream Giver

TJList — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 02:13:17 +0000

Whether you are just starting out as an entrepreneur or are well along the road to self-sufficiency, this book will bring meaning and motivation to your journey. A friend loaned it to me recently, and as I read the first half I kept thinking, “I have been there,” or “Wow, that’s what I’m going through right now.”

The first half is a parable, and it’s powerful. The second half provides reflections on the parable, along with highlights from the author’s personal journey. Its Christian overtones will resonate with many, but they are subdued enough that most who have chosen a different spiritual path will be able to gain value without going crazy.

If you ever find yourself at a point where you are wondering whether you can keep going toward something that’s really important to you, pick up this book.

Quickly one of my favorite books. This has been probably one of my most recommended books (along with Rework) lately. Ferriss ties in his own history with what he’s learned and put together a great book for anyone starting a business or looking to change what they’re currently doing with their business. This one’s a must.

Seth Godin has written some great books, but this one has quickly become one of my favorites. It really makes you think twice about what you’re here for and how you’ll decide to do your work in this world. I think anyone with the entrepreneurial mindset will quickly agree to these writings and see the shift in paradigm on our workforce. Loved reading this one!

Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog (Smashing Magazine Book Series)

I bought this book because I love the Smashing Magazine blog and I love WordPress. This book is no short in the love for both! It’s definitely aimed more towards the developer than the user, but this is a great WordPress reference book, full color pages, and lots of quick tips and hints. I’ve yet to fully utilize this book, but the times I have, it’s over done its part. WordPress developers needs this book!

This is an excellent and easy read. After reading this book I can say that the world of work is definitely evolving and with the social web and the endless list of virtual resources out there we are reconstructing the way we work. This book has many images and can easily be read in a day or two. I’ve already found myself going back to this book multiple times. I highly recommend this!
