7 Habits Of Highly Effective People 15th Anniversary Editionby Stephen CoveyISBN 0743269519 (0-7432-6951-9)

› Find signed collectible books: '7 Habits Of Highly Effective People 15th Anniversary Edition'Book summary:Amazon.co.uk Review According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being. As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison [via]

The 80/20 Principle: The Secret of Achieving More With Lessby Richard KochISBN 1857881680 (1-85788-168-0)
Softcover, Nicholas Brealey Intl

› Find signed collectible books: 'The 80/20 Principle: The Secret of Achieving More With Less'Book summary:In 1897, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, in his study of the patterns of wealth and income, observed that the distribution of wealth was predictably unbalanced. He first discovered this pattern in 19th-century England and found it to be the same for every country and time period he studied. Over the years, Pareto's observation has become known as the 80/20 principle.
Now in 1998, Richard Koch takes a fresh look at the 80/20 principle and finds that the basic imbalance observed by Pareto 100 years ago can be found in almost every aspect of modern life. Whether you're investing in stocks, analyzing company sales, or looking at the performance of a Web site, you'll find that it's usually 20 percent that produces 80 percent of the total result. This means 80 percent of what you do may not count for much. Koch helps you to identify that 20 percent and shows you how you can get more out of your business, and life, for less. [via]

Softcover, Dorset House
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Becoming a Technical Leader: An Organic Problem-Solving Approach'Book summary:Becoming a Technical Leader is a personalized guide to developing the qualities that make a successful leader. It identifies which leadership skills are most effective in a technical environment and why technical people have characteristic trouble in making the transition to a leadership role. For anyone who is a leader, hopes to be one, or would like to avoid being one.
This is an excellent book for anyone who is a leader, who wants to be a leader, or who thinks only people with 'leader' or 'manager' in their title are leaders. The book can be described briefly as a guide to developing personal leadership potential, but it is much more than that . . . it is filled with useful insights into personal growth as a professional.
Readers say it's always fascinating, and "focuses our attention on what it takes to make teams of thinking technical people work effectively together." Moreover, they say "it's always extremely practical and down-to-earth."
Becoming a Technical Leader is the "textbook" for Jerry Weinberg's world-famous Problem Solving Leadership Workshop. It consists of twenty-four well-reasoned, thought-provoking chapters on making the change from technical star to problem-solving leader.

In lucid and appealing prose, Polya reveals how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be "reasoned" out--from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams. Generations of readers have relished Polya's deft--indeed, brilliant--instructions on stripping away irrelevancies and going straight to the heart of the problem.

How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci: Seven Steps to Everyday Geniusby Michael GelbISBN 0385323816 (0-385-32381-6)
Hardcover, Bantam Dell Pub Group
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci: Seven Steps to Everyday Genius'Book summary:Here's a personal growth guidebook that's won the admiration and recommendation of Ted Hughes, Poet Laureate of England. He calls this "a brilliant, practical guide to awakening and training our vast, unused resources of intelligence and ability." Author Michael Gelb, founder of High Performance Learning and consultant for companies including AT&T and National Public Radio, says that we all can unlock the "da Vincian" genius inside us. Gelb says there are seven critical principles that need to be followed for success, whether you're learning a new language, studying to be a gourmet chef, or just hoping to be more effective on the job:
- Curiosita: An insatiably curious approach to life.
- Dimonstratzione: A commitment to test knowledge through experience.
- Sensazione: The continual refinement of the senses, especially sight, as the means to clarify experience.
- Sfumato: A willingness to embrace ambiguity, paradox, and uncertainty.
- Arte/Scienza: The development of the balance between science and art, logic and imagination ("whole-brain thinking").
- Corporalita: The cultivation of ambidexterity, fitness, and poise.
- Connessione: A recognition and appreciation for the connectedness of all things and phenomena; "systems thinking."
Gelb discusses each of these principles in relation to what da Vinci accomplished, thereby giving this book a built-in history lesson. The illustrations from the master's work and time add a nice warmth to the work. As the president of NPR said after working with Gelb, this is a program recommended for "anyone who wants to experience a personal and professional Renaissance." [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectiva'Book summary:Desde 1991 en la lista semanal de libros mas vendidos del Publishers Weekly (y a menudo encabezandola), este indiscutible best-seller se merecia una puesta al dia, y eso es lo que ha hecho su autor con esta nueva edicion: la estructura general no cambia -hubiera resultado absurdo, dado su alto grado de efectividad-, solo se amplia, se extiende hacia nuevos temas y detalles que el lector sin duda agradecera. El punto de partida general, pues, sigue siendo el mismo: el hecho ineludible de que casi todo el mundo intuye que su comportamiento en la empresa podria mejorar en muchos aspectos, pero pocos saben como conseguirlo. A partir de ahi, Stephen Covey, el llamado Socrates americano, no da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonear sin ton ni son. Su metodo es claro, certero y eficiente: casi un cursillo dividido en siete etapas que el lector debera asimilar y poner en practica por su propia cuenta, adaptandolas a su personalidad y aplicandolas libremente en todos los ambitos de la vida empresarial. Para ello, el autor se sirve de anecdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la vision personal hasta la autorrenovacion equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo personal, la administracion personal, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicacion empatica y la cooperacion creativa. Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, y a traves del desarrollo de ciertos conceptos, el lector acaba comprendiendo que todo lo que hagamos debera estar de acuerdo con lo que realmente veamos. Es decir que, si queremos cambiar la situacion, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos con eficacia, en primer termino tendremos que cambiar nuestras percepciones. El resultado es la construccion de una autoconfianza a prueba de bomba a traves del desarrollo del propio caracter, de la integridad, la honestidad y la dignidad humana necesarias para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo autentico e intransferible.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Owen'Book summary:The clinical name is transitional object, but for young children, a beloved blanket is more like a lifeline. And that's exactly how Owen feels about his baby blanket, fondly named Fuzzy. The Owen-Fuzzy relationship is cruising along smoothly until a nosy neighbor, Mrs. Tweezers, leans over the fence and asks his parents, "Isn't he getting a little old to be carrying that thing around?" With kindergarten just around the corner, Owen's parents wonder if he should in fact relinquish his prized Fuzzy. Kevin Henkes uses his signature mouse characters and jewel-tone watercolors to explore the antics and foils of one mouse-boy, one rag-blanket, and two parents wondering how to help their son kick the habit. This is what Henkes does best--playfully bringing childhood fears and feelings to the surface while portraying real-life parent-child tensions. Mrs. Tweezers, a real sourpuss, is no help at all. She offers terrible over-the-fence advice, such as dipping Fuzzy in vinegar (as if to cure a nail-biting habit) or stealing the blanket in the night.
It is not until the eve of Owen's first day of kindergarten that his mother hatches the perfect solution. Ultimately, she finds a way that Owen can hang on to his first true love while also taking the next step into middle childhood--a solution that suits everyone, including Mrs. Tweezers.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change'Book summary:Amazon.co.uk Review According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being. As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison [via]

La eterna pugna entre ciencia y religión se ha convertido en una guerra muy real.
En un laboratorio de máxima seguridad, aparece asesinado un científico con un extraño símbolo grabado a fuego en su pecho. Para el profesor Robert Langdon no hay duda: los Illuminati, los hombres enfrentados a la Iglesia desde los tiempos de Galileo, han regresado. Y esta vez disponen de la más mortífera arma que ha creado la humanidad, un artefacto con el que pueden ganar la batalla final contra su eterno enemigo. Acompañado de una joven científica y un audaz capitán de la Guardia Suiza, Langdon comienza una carrera contra reloj, en una búsqueda desesperada por los rincones más secretos de El Vaticano. Necesitará todo su conocimiento para descifrar las claves ocultas que los Illuminati han dejado a través de los siglos en manuscritos y templos, y todo su coraje para vencer al despiadado asesino que siempre parece llevarle la delantera.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Seis Sombreros Para Pensar/ Six Hats To think: Una Guia De Pensamiento Para Gente De Accion / a Thinking Guide for People of Action'Book summary:En Seis sombreros para pensar de Bono alterna párrafos teóricos en los que expone su teoría con ejemplos, cuya intención es demostrar la eficacia del uso de los sombreros para pensar. Al leer el ensayo se tiene la sensación de que bien podría decir lo mismo en una cuarta parte del espacio que utiliza. Es muy frecuente que de Bono utilice expresiones como «deje de pensar con el sombrero negro» o «valore por un momento esta idea desde el sombrero amarillo». Al leer este tipo de ejemplos uno no sabe si de Bono propone utilizar estas fórmulas en serio o si son metáforas que simbolizan los cambios en el modo de pensar. Desde luego, todo parece indicar que lo propone en serio, lo que sin duda resulta entre artificial e infantil. De Bono dice que al principio resultará utilizar este método, pero que una vez se naturalice saldrá de forma espontánea y el pensador se habrá habituado por completo a este proceso. Francamente, desde el sombrero rojo, permítanme que un servidor lo dude. [via]
