I apoligize for not posting towards the end of last week. I have been sick for the last few days. But it&#8217;s a new week and we&#8217;ve got new books.

Author: Michael Corbett



I&#8217;m pretty leary of any book written by a TV show host, especially the host of a show called Extra&#8217;s Mansions and Millionaires. But, Find It, Fix It, Flip It! seems to avoid a lot of the cliches that make many real estate books unbearable to read. There isn&#8217;t much talk of &#8220;achieving [...]]]></description>

Author: Douglas Rushkoff



The first line of Get Back in the Box pretty much sums up the book. &#8220;There is no Next Big Thing. In fact, the more things seem to change, the better opportunity you have to stay the same.&#8221;
Rushkoff, who is a writer of ten-or-so bestsellers, explains throughout this book that the best way [...]]]></description>

Author: John Perkins



The subject of this book is the thing John Grisham novels are made of. An economic planner for an international consulting firm persuades developing countries to enter into deals that make American companies rich. Somehow the NSA ties into all this as well, which I don&#8217;t exactly understand how, but I guess that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

It seems like the Wall Street Journal Complete Money and Investing Guidebook was meant for novice/beginner investors.

Flipping through this at Barnes and [...]]]></description>

In Permission Marketing, Seth Godin teaches his well-known idea of getting people to &#8220;raise their hands&#8221;. The problem with mass advertising, according to Godin, is that it vies for people&#8217;s attention by interrupting them rather than asking for permission and then buliding relationships based on that permission. Marketers can learn to be more [...]]]></description>
