Just so I am not totally wasting my time watching the TWINS; while the TV is on, I am also currently REREADING "The Five Great Rules of Selling" by Percy Whiting, a gift from Dean Sorenson; and next in line is "The ENERGY BUS", by Jon Gordon, "10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy", also a gift, this time from Neil Lipetzky.
And...you can't go wrong reading/rereading "The Wizard Trilogy".
I'm currently working on Laura Hildebrand's Unbroken, the story of Louis Zamperini, runner, WWII vet, and POW survivor; A Passion for the Impossible by Miriam Huffman, a biography of Lilias Trotter, a Victorian-era artist and Protestant missionary to Algeria; and Paul Harvey's America: The Life, Art, and Faith of a Man Who Transformed Radio and Inspired a Nation by Stephen Mansfield and David A. Holland; and Jesus Among Other Gods: The Absolute Claims of the Christian Message, by Ravi Zacharias. So far, all excellent reads!
In the summer I read for fum.
Clive Cussler just came out with The Emporer's Revenge.
Tom Clancy will come out with Duty and Honor on June 14.
Those, along with a cold beer and a good cigar in my own back yard, are all of the vacation I need.
I will be in Progressive Field in Cleveland in August to watch the Twins lose to the Indians. Sorry 'bout that.
I recently stumbled onto Jeb Blount's podcast on sales (Blount has a great book called Fanatical Prospecting). He was interviewing Deb Calvert, who has written a book called DISCOVER Questions® Get You Connected: for Advertising Sales Profes.... I just bought a copy and am a couple of chapters in -- it's good stuff!
For fun (if anything could possibly be more fun than sales books), I'm digging into Michael Sears' series about Jason Stafford, a disgraced Wall Street trader turned private eye. Black Fridays is the first in the series, and I'm loving it.
