Books have a funny way of showing up at the right time. The 4-hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss was no exception. This book was recommended to me by two regular Genius Types readers, HalOtis and Joe.

Aaron Wall’s SEO Book
I just received my copy of Aaron Wall’s SEO Book, and I have to say: it blew me away. I’m naturally skeptical of eBooks, in fact this is only the second one I’ve ever bought. The first was Steven Aitchison’s compilation because he’s a friend and it was only £4.99. Since SEO Book costs a [...]

I’ve always believed that people don’t find books, books find people; and it seems that every book I read adds another layer of truth to that belief.

The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz was no exception. Lately I’ve been working with the [...]
Writing Down The Bones :: Book Review
I hated writing when I was in junior high and high school. As a creative person, I cringed at the thought of adhering to very specific rules in spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. To make things worse, the rules seemed to change without warning and for no particular reason. How was I supposed to keep [...]
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People :: review
“The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” was the first book I ever read on personal growth, and to this day it remains the best. If you were to ask me to recommend one book to help you improve your life, this would be it. The material that Steven Covey covers is based on timeless [...]
Rich Dad, Poor Dad :: review
“Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” by Robert Kiyosaki is one of a handful of books that, after reading it, drastically changed my paradigm and also the course of my life.
