Books are the best investment options - a wonderful friend, a well wisher and a great coach
This page contains various books that I read and plan to read in near future. Recently I adopted a policy of reading a book twice - first to read it faster in a matter of a week to understand the content and second over a period of few weeks taking notes with reading related materials. If I find it very informative or path-breaking, I write my views on the content, my reading experience and how I can put the things to practice to get most out of my investment (time). I often take notes while reading when it read a book for the second time. I usually skim through the chapters during the first read to decide whether I should invest more time in the book. The second reading is often longer and I reflect a lot. I write reviews on my blog while I am reading the second time.Unstuck - Book Reviews
I often get queries on book reviews (which I am denying so far). I can do a book review and possibly write a review on my blog as long as the following criteria are met
- I would like to give my views in a polite way so that it does not belittle the mammoth effort of author and publisher. Yet at the same time, I do not want to give a false review so that i lose credibility among readers. I appreciate when I like some portions and say what needs to be improved for some sections.
- I will publish here on my blog (a prior permission is needed before posting it elsewhere. If you are planning to use the content elsewhere, please do inform early)
- Prefer Hardcopy. I tend to complete it little faster
- Contact me via email before sending me a book (so that we do not waste resources especially time and effort).
- I can return your book or give to someone else (pickup has to be done at your end)
- Theme: Technology, Leadership, Management, and Self-help
- I can write reviews chapter by chapter and top it with a final overall review. Click on one of the books below to know about my reviews.
