1. Managing Oneself – By Peter Drucker

The world today is so competitive that you can be a doctor in China, a lawyer in Mexico, an economist in South Korea or a software engineer in the United States. It doesn’t matter where you’ve come from, just where you’re going.

People should manage themselves by getting to know themselves better and by learning to manage the strengths and weaknesses they possess.

2. Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind – By David Buss

I have tried to examine human psychology and behavior through the lens of modern evolutionary psychology.

As the name suggests, evolutionary psychology is closely related to psychology as it describes how the human mind evolved, and how it works.

3. How to Win Friends & Influence People – By Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie made millions of people around the world improve their lives.

How to win friends and influence people is a self help book that teaches people how to get out of a mental rut.

4. The Selfish Gene – By Richard Dawkins

Charles Darwin was convinced that he could explain the entire story of evolution based only on mutations and natural selection. It was only later that he realized that it was the gene, not the organism, that is the unit of selection.

The first edition of this book, a best seller when it came out in 1958, was greeted with widespread acclaim. For those who hadn’t heard of it, it made evolutionary biology accessible to the general public. But no one knew what else it might do.

5. The Lessons of History – By Will & Ariel Durant

Durant and his wife have succeeded in distilling for the reader the accumulated store of knowledge and experience from their five decades of work in writing The Story of Civilization.

6. Kon Tiki – By Thor Heyerdahl

Heyerdahl went on a journey across the Pacific Ocean to create the Kon-Tiki. He believed that the people of South-Pacific had an age-old relationship with the people of Easter Island and South America, and that the people of Easter Island had settled a remote South Pacific island thousands of years ago.

I took his idea and created a website so that you can join me on my journey.

The site is built using [Sitecore Web Forms](https://www.sitecore.net/products/web-forms/) and [Sitecore Experience](https://www.sitecore.net/products/experience-manager/). It utilizes the [Sitecore Experience Platform](https://www.sitecore.net/company/products/experience-platform/) to provide a unified experience for our visitors.

7. Civilization & It’s Discontents – By Sigmund Freud

As with the individual’s need for instinctual freedom, an individual’s need for a sense of permanence can be compared to the civilization’s demand for conformity. A person’s need for a sense of permanence is the individual’s demand for a sense of stability. The two are inextricably linked, as a society’s demand for stability necessitates conformity and vice versa.

8. When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead – By Jerry Weintraub

He built his career by managing some of the biggest bands in the music business, but he made a fortune from dealing with a lot of the biggest stars in the world. He says, “I’ve been working my whole life. It’s a job. I don’t know that there’s ever been a person who could make a career out of this.

(The original caption: “The last of the great Hollywood moguls, Jerry is probably best known as the producer of such classic films as Nashville, Diner, Oh, God! and The Karate Kid, as well as the more recent Oceans 11, 12, and 13, which have together grossed over a billion dollars.”

The original has multiple grammar errors. The one I circled here was one of the errors in the original sentence.

9. The Story of The Human Body – By Daniel Lieberman

This ground-breaking book will teach you how to use your body to create wealth, not poverty and how to achieve true financial freedom.

From an evolutionary perspective, when the population was small and resources were limited, it was more effective for them to travel long distances to find food. The food they ate was more nutritious and the people they met had smaller babies; they were more healthy.

It is normal to spend most your time nursing, napping, making stone tools, and gossiping with a small band of people.

10. The One Thing – By Gary Keller

You want a plan that works for you and gives you freedom. It’s tough to put together a plan that doesn’t interfere with the rest of your life and you can’t just make it up as you go along.

It’s like saying “I don’t know how to manage my time so I’ll just figure it out as I go along”.

It’s not a plan and that’s why it’s doomed to failure.

People are juggling work and family. This is the major problem with the current working society. And it’s costing companies a lot of money.

11. Riveted – By Jim Davies

This book about human fascination provides a framework for understanding the deep-seated psychology of our need to feel that we are part of a larger purpose and to feel “riveted” to something. It explains how we can be fascinated by science, art, religion, and even sports or superstition, and why we are all fascinated by something.

As a result to what we experience in life, we believe there is something wrong with us, we feel that something is missing or that we are incomplete.

12. The Greatest Minds and Ideas of All Time – By Will Durant

Durant’s conclusion about history is that it is a grand, colorful parade with a parade’s worth of individuals and events. He believes people make history in a major way. As for the most significant eras, he says that the time of the Reformation and the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the development of medicine and surgery. He also points out that individuals in all of these eras are significant but the most significant individuals are the founders of the era.

I do not claim to be able to rank thinkers of any age on a scale of greatness.

So I started writing this list of poets who I find to be great just for writing the way they do. Of course, there are many other reasons that poets are great, and they are great for all sorts of reasons. But I just wanted to write this list about the ones who I found to be great for writing poetry.

13. The Complete Story of Civilization – By Will Durant

The 11 volumes of The Story of Civilization are a series of novels written by American historian Will Durant.

14. Made in America – By Sam Walton

American folklore has a new hero: Sam Walton, the billionaire who parlayed a small, struggling dime store in a poor cotton town into Wal-Mart, the country’s largest retailer.

Sam Walton, the master retailer, started out as a clerk in a little downtown department store near his hometown in Arkansas. With $500, he opened his first store, called Walton’s, in 1957. Over the years, he added a chain of big-box discount stores, Walmart, and became the richest man in the United States.

19. A Few Lessons For Investors and Managers – By Warren Buffett

Peter Bevelin starts the book by stating that his intention is to offer advice from the perspective of a businessperson. He then asks a few questions that are designed to help the reader think about the topic from a business perspective. After the questions, he follows up with a few examples of companies from Berkshire’s portfolio that he would suggest the reader consider buying shares of.

I was really interested in how the relationship between managers and investors can be improved if the managers think about the investors as they would a business partners, not just as customers.

20. Michael Jordan: The Life – By Roland Lazenby

Michael Jordan is one of the most recognizable and successful athletes in the history of sports. This book offers a different perspective of Jordan: the human being, the story behind the story, and the stories that shaped his life.

Jordan was a perfectionist, a star who gave up his free time to learn how to make the most of the game. He also had a competitive streak, a desire to win that sometimes got him into trouble. When he was at his best he was a player like no one else.

Paul Baumer enlisted in the army of World War I. As the war ended, they were in the trenches. They found their young, enthusiasm and the willingness to fight, but they also broke.

Every year, Americans eat more than 3,500 pounds of cheese and 6,500 pounds of sugar. We eat double the recommended amount of salt. Most of that comes from shakers on our tables.

It is important to know that food is often contaminated from the field to the fork.

In the book Sugar, Salt, Fat, in the U.S. we have a high intake of refined sugar, salt, and fat and a low intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. This has led the obesity epidemic and the rise in diabetes and other diseases. In the book Food, Inc., investigative researcher César Chávez and his colleagues showed that the food industry is a true industry and is not involved in genuine agriculture and that the process of growing the food we eat is often harmful.

Berger says that online behaviour can be mapped to real-world behaviour by using’social mapping’, which means that we observe the behaviour of individuals when they are in different contexts and draw conclusions from that.
