When I find a good thing I want to share it. Somehow the other day I came across this blog from Julien Smith. When I read his blog post, I knew I wanted to share it, as it is a different way of summarizing so many books in 140 characters. I found quite a list of books that I have not read and want to read. I just picked up “On Writing Well” at the library, and look forward to reading it and seeing what I can learn to develop my writing further. “Six Pixels of Separation” is also on my bookshelf waiting to be read.
Here are a few from his list I recommend:
- Stumbling on Happiness
- Crush It!
- Your Money or Your Life
- Switch
- The Art of Eating In
- The Creative Habit
- A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
- 5 Love Languages
- The Art of Non-Conformity
- The Happiness Project
- Program or Be Programmed
- The Thank You Economy
- The War of Art
- Evil Plans
- Accidental Genius
- The Power of Eye Contact
- Any Seth Godin book (many listed on Julien’s list)
Here are a few others I have added to my list to read:
- The Myth of Multitasking
- Not Always So
- What Should I Do with My Life?
- Enough
- She Comes First
- 50 50
- Presentation Zen (I have to use PowerPoint a lot at work, always looking for new ideas)
- When I Say No, I Feel Guilty
- Status Anxiety
- The Architecture of Happiness
- Shop Class as Soulcraft
- Rework
- The End of Food
- Good Calories, Bad Calories
- Emotional Intelligence 2.0
Julien, I also love the image on your site with the fan and the older radiator. Like I said earlier – a clever idea. Thank you for sharing your book reviews in 140 characters.
