Quote from Abraham Lincoln "If I was given 6 hours to chop down a tree, I would spend the first 4 sharpening the axe"

The most important aspect in our business is ourselves, I am curious how many read books as a method of self development i.e. sharpening the axe?

Too heavy going and not very practical to put into everyday use.. same as think and grow rich... and all the other 80's & 90's books of the same theme..

sorry but you did ask..  ;D

I find that I have little time to read books in the evening but weekend brings a few more chances so recently I've been working through:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Focus-Financial-Confidence-Certainty/dp/0757316026/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387276991&sr=1-4&keywords=The+power+of+focus (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Focus-Financial-Confidence-Certainty/dp/0757316026/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387276991&sr=1-4&keywords=The+power+of+focus)

Also good for business is:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/E-myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses-About/dp/0887307280/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387277047&sr=1-1&keywords=the+emyth+revisited (http://www.amazon.co.uk/E-myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses-About/dp/0887307280/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387277047&sr=1-1&keywords=the+emyth+revisited)

I'm also into Richard Dawkins and have 'The Selfish Gene' and 'The God Delusion' on the go too!

Fiction-wise I'm a big fan of:

To Kill a Mockingbird
Shogun - a hefty book but well worth the time investment

I find window cleaning a bit boring most days so I've recently joined Audible so I can listen to audiobooks - currently listening to this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Habits-Highly-Effective-People/dp/0684858398/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387276635&sr=1-1&keywords=7+habits+of+highly+effective+people (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Habits-Highly-Effective-People/dp/0684858398/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387276635&sr=1-1&keywords=7+habits+of+highly+effective+people)

Cheers, Tom

Read Shogun in the 80's. Cracking book, about 500 pages I think. Made the TV series a bit naff though. The book was fantastic. I'll have to look at that audio option. Sounds handy.

Currently reading the new Ian Rankin novel. I have listened to To Kill a Mockingbird read by Sissy Spacek. I read a lot. Not as much as I used to, but about a novel a week I guess.
