Ever wondered what other busy business women were reading and loving? “The Absolute Best Books…”

Sunday, July 25, 2010

Reading is one of the many things I would like to do more of. Not just getting into the books that are bumping around my office for professional development, but also fiction books too.

Whilst I’m sure you all have recommendations from your friends to get through, I found this list of the “The Absolute Best Books For Summer”  on Forbes Women, and thought I’d pass it on. And they’ll be just good under a blanket on the couch this winter in Australia too.

A great series I've been reading at the moment (along with so many others it would seem!) is the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson. I highly recommend all three books: http://www.stieglarsson.com/The-Girl-With-The-Dragon-Tattoo

Book reviews are always popular on our site at www.professionelle.co.nz. If I can put in a plug for a Kiwi-oriented business book, "Bird on a Wire" is a great, authentic read and my review of it is the lead article on our site right now. It's Theresa Gattung's autobiography of her journey to, and time as, Telecom CEO; she remains the only woman in NZ to have run a top listed company.

And we have another book review coming soon on Professor Zimbardo's book on how we relate to time. It's called "The Time Paradox-the New Psychology of Time". My business partner Galia raves about it, and its explanatory power for our attitudes and behaviours.

So there are two more recommendations for your readers!
