Jeff the Great's Updated Reading List

I've finished up a few books recently and just started another. In addition to the below, I've also updated my reading list over here: http://twurl.cc/byl

Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell (my favorite author but this isn't his best work).
The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall (interesting but way to far fetched).Crucial Confrontations by Patterson, Grenny, McMillan and Switzler (my current read, a follow-up to Crucial Conversations, one of the best books ever).

Enjoy,

Jeff the Great Updates His Reading List


I've completed a few books and have another I am about to start. Figured I'd share and get your suggestions on what to read next!


Completed:
Charlie Wilson's War

I started this book because I thought the story would make a better read than a movie. Charlie Wilson's story IS interesting but it was a tedious read near the second half of the book. If you have little time for reading, skip the book and watch the movie.

Completed: Made to Stick

This book exceeded my expectations. It is all ready my favorite type of book but it was written better than most. Lots of examples that are super interesting and I learned a TON. I suggest it to anyone that is looking to improve the message you give about your business, church, project, or even your personal brand.
Just Starting: The Big Swtich

I am just about to start this book today and don't know much about it. I think it is about how technology has changed and continued to influence our world. I am excited about it as I won a signed, pre-release copy from http://www.techcrunch.com!

So, after The Big Switch, what should I read next?

Jeff the Great Does a Book Report


I read a great book last week and it is worth a mention. It is called "90 Minutes in Heaven" by Don Piper.

Here's the deal...this isn't just another near death experience. In fact, the book is more about life than it is death.

My 23 year old brother-in-law is dying of cancer and it is really hard for me to understand. A close friend of mine recommended this book and he was right on. I am still not okay with losing my brother-in-law but I have a much better understanding of both life and death now.
