Fish is a must read

Advantages: Interesting, captivating and very motivational
Disadvantages: N/A

This book is a must read if you feel you are stuck in rut with your career. It is both inspiring and extremely interesting. Fish is extremely well writen and really draws you into the story. As a business tool it is very motivating and will help you identify problems and come up with ways of sorting them. Im not a great reader but I have read fish twice in the three months since i bought it, even if you are not so interested in the work and motivation ...

Did You Spot the Gorilla?

Advantages: Easy to read, entertaining and very interesting
Disadvantages: None!

"DID YOU SPOT THE GORILLA?" "Did you spot the gorilla" is a clever little book designed to help you recognise hidden opportunities in your life. It is based on a psychological study which makes it both fascinating and inspiring, and will most likely help you keep an open mind and spot many gorillas around you. Why gorillas, you must be wondering? Gorillas in fact are a metaphor for the obvious opportunities that constantly pass us by. Let me explain. ...
...where volunteers were asked to watch a 30-second film in which some people are playing basketball. The volunteers had to count the number of passes. However, halfway through the film, a man in a gorilla suits walks in, wanders around the players and walks off. Surprisingly, very few people noticed the gorilla. Had they just watched the film with no instructions, they would have spotted it right away, but as they were focusing on something else, they ...

Disadvantages: None that I can think of.

Thrifty Ways for Modern Days - edited by Martin Lewis ***What's it about?*** This is another money saving book I am reviewing, it is edited by Martin Lewis and brings together lots of advice from the Money Saving Expert forums. It particularly draws upon the 'Old Style' thread, which is a very strong chat thread, where people post their ideas for saving money in ways that were second nature in days gone by. Sadly, some of this advice has been lost ...

The book

Advantages: Incredibly witty and intelligent.
Disadvantages: The author is so clever that you need to read the book more than once to grasp all meanings

The book is a hugely imformative, but compact resource which aided me greatly in understanding investments and their financial and social implications. I would suggest that a new-version is published as some of the companies suggested with in the book have now become less or more viable in the investment world, than when first written about in the book. This is counter-acted by the theory which is invaluable in all ages and environments, not always ...
...a fine addition to my library and I would recommend it to everyone who is interested (or is already part) of the world of investments. It is also an easy and light read but some of the wit, although funny, detracts from the financial and educational side of the book. ...
