Listed below you'll see the various books that currently occupy a place on my reading table, nightstand, briefcase, travel carry-on, and anywhere else I can set a 'book - in - progress'.

Some of these will make it to the Predictable Success® Resource Library, and many won't... One way or t'other, a full review of each of the following will appear in due course.

'Choice Theory' - William Glazer
	In business we spend a lot of wasted time and effort trying to change others - usually unproductively and ineffectively. William Glazer shares his experiences from 40 years in psychiatric practice, explaining how we can only really take responsibility for our own choices, thus freeing us to avoid time- and resource-consuming unprofitable confrontations with others. Not an easy read, but useful in helping to understand further some of the choices founder/owners and C-level executives make. A more detailed review will follow when I've completed the book - at least once...:)

'Fire Someone Today' - Bob Pritchett
	An irresistibly pro-Predictable Success title (in full: 'Fire Someone Today, And Other Surprising Tactics for Making Your Business a Success') and an equally straightforward, real-world tone, makes Pritchett's book an enjoyable, useful read so far (I'm on Chapter 5). Pritchett is practical, animated and frequently dead-on in his aim. A very promising read to this point, and I'm looking forward to finishing it.

'Under Orders' - Dick Francis
	Not a business book, by any description, and not even top rate mystery / whodunnit, but it is the return of Dick Francis, the urbane British author of award-winning mystery novels (and prize-winning jockey) after the death of his wife and a writing absence of six years. Francis reprises his most-loved hero, Sid Halley, and sticks to his tried-and-true formula - lots of description of British weather and fading class distinctions, some random violence, and lots of broadly sprinkled clues. Great stuff (and I'm only on Chapter 4).

'Less Is More' - Jay Jennings
	I'm naturally prejudiced toward any author who lives in my old home town of Tiburon, California, but the jury's out on Jay Jenning's book about Productivity and how to attain it. There's a 'cut and paste' feel to the early chapters - they read more like a series of anecdotes loosely grouped around a weak theme than a strong cohesive book. Still, early days...I'll reserve judgement until I've finished the rest of the book.

'Small Is The New Big' - Seth Godin
	Seth Godin as he is best consumed - in short bursts. This is actually a collection of Seth's blog entries over the last few years, and as a result has the same 'cut and paste' feel of Jenning's book - although this time it's planned that way. As usual, Godin alternates between useful and useless, but is always entertaining and (almost) always thought-provoking.
