Book(s) that inspired you.

Is there any book(s) you've read lately that have inspired you? Perhaps it made you think about life or/and business a different way.

For me, "Tuesdays with Morrie" did it. You might have seen the made for TV movie with Jack Lemmon and Hank Azaria. I also just finished reading "Thinking Inside the Box" from Kirk Cheyfitz. It's basically telling you to stick to basic business rules and shows examples of companies that went beyond the box and either failed or bankrupted(dare I say Enron...) It has 12 steps to follow to make your business successful. I really think that any entrepreneur should read this book at one point or another.

Also Jack Welch is a given for anyone looking to gain a different perspective on how a business should be managed.

Yes. How I raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling by Frank Betteger. It's an excellent book which not only teaches you about Selling but also inspires you [Frank's Life Story!] that No Matter What - You can be Successful!

Another one is How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie!

Eminems lyrics inspire me. Not much of a book-reader here.
