Great book for interaction!

Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions
John Kotter, Holger Rathgeber, ...
St. Martin's Press, 2006
Great book
I have read John Kotter's previous work on leading change so I was curious as to whether his concepts could be effectively conveyed in fable form. To my delight, I discovered that Kotter put his own findings about the power of stories to work to create an engaging ...

NLP: The New Technology of Achievement
NLP Comprehensive
Harper Paperbacks, 1996
One of the best books on NLP that includes A LOT of useful exercises.
This book is great in that it not only explains some of the basics of NLP but it also includes 43 different exercises to do while you are reading the book. Most of these exercises can be done quickly and have been, for me, generally quite effective. These exercises are ...

Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life
Steve Martin
Scribner, 2007
Big Laughs, Big Heart
I adore Steve Martin's work. I grew up watching his brilliantly nonsensical movies informed by classic literature and art. I revel in his physical comedy, and I had a good time watching Picasso at the Lapin Agile. Don't tell anyone, but as kids, my brother and I ...
