The fortune sellers, one of the first books that i read from a list of books that i have gathered and reserved from the school library. (that's when i realized the school library has a good collection with excellent librarian service, nice librarians who always smile). This is about the prediction and forecasting which the author claimed to be one of the oldest business in history. Talks about technology prediction, economic forecasting, weather forecasting. it's quite a "bottom-line" kind of book, but i though the book didn't really give a solution to all the issues.
The new age nerd-to-afro thinker, made famous by "the tipping point" (which incidentally is next is my reading list). Just have to see what is this talk-a-bout, how great is his findings and ideas.Blink, is mostly a pscyhology, sociology kind of book, though i find the most interesting parts of the book to be in the end, where examples are staged using real business world examples.
Freakonomics, also one of the books that is so much on the bestselling charts, i have to see what is it all about. read half of the book in one day, probably finishing before the weekend. I felt like i was devouring books. Interesting book to an extend, explaining phenomenon using stats and whacky associations.Sometimes i feel that authors are trying too hard to write books that will sell. But genuine heart-felt thoughts sometimes are just the most easy and interesting to read.
