    "...they REALLY love it, or REALLY hate it."

    But in each case, the reviewer is either anonymous or has submitted just the one review to Amazon. That's worth pointing out, too :)

    Love Love Love the Alchemist. Altho I think this list is pretty universal rather than gender-specific.

    (Ahem. Oprah? She's already celebrated at least two admittedly false "autobiographies." Totally fraudulent authors. How can you recommend her? - Just because "America" watches "Cops" doesn't mean I should start watching it to understand my fellow Americans.)

    There's a somewhat silly, somewhat profound parable "Who Moved My Cheese?" It's a good book for those having to cope with changes such as downsizing, told by two mice. Call it Ratatouille for corporate cube dwellers. Has nuggets of real wisdom amongst the cheese (and I use the word intentionally.)

    It's a timely read. Let me know how you enjoy it. I haven't looked at it in quite awhile but my sense is that it is in the same vein with the others discussed here.

    Cheers,
    Jacqueline

    And if you're heading into any kind of business situation - read 'Good to Great' by Collins...

    " How to Win Friends and Influence People " - This is a great find especially to those who are into businesses like MLM's. They should win "friends" first - not customers. After wards, they will win their hearts and influence them to join and buy products.
