It was once my favourite book. His focus is on living in reality and exercising your free will. Despite his intuition-based ethics, Covey has a lot of intelligent things to say.

I'm curious, because business-related books and biographies form the bulk of my reading.<BR/><BR/>Right now, I'm reading an interesting one. <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471771910/qid=1142214076/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-9151577-4944014?s=books&v=glance&n=283155" REL="nofollow">"Hedge Hogging" by Barton Bigs</A>.

Not an investment guide by any stretch; interesting nevertheless.SNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03953992447839442060noreply@blogger.com
