52 Weeks of Book Reviews. Week #38 – Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg @cduhigg

I love the title of this book. Doesn’t everyone want to be Smarter, Faster and Better? I know I do. I read this book and pulled some great habits out of it. I found the writing reminded me of Malcolm Gladwell who I also enjoy and I liked the case studies that were used to …

52 Weeks of Book Reviews. Week #34 – The Like Switch: An Ex-FBI Agent’s Guide to Influencing, Attracting, and Winning People Over by Jack Schafer @jackschafer

I feel like I’ve just been let in on a giant top secret training for Mission Impossible. This guy has done the things that we watch on T.V and even though I’m sure those actions aren’t nearly as glamorous as the television presents, It’s infinitely more interesting because it’s real.   52 Weeks of Book …
