    This is one of those books that you will hear people talking about and this is also one of those books that it took me 30 years to get round to reading. I wish that I had done so earlier. This book has greatly improved my outlook on life and I can handle situations in a far slicker and more helpful way than before. excellent book, I would recommend it to everyone.

    Whether you are planning to start your first business, or are growing an existing business, having a mentor who has been there and done it before is an invaluable tool.
    "great course but horrible soundtrack"

    Story

    This is a very interesting piece of work and the content is excellent.. the only thing that lets this down is the very irritating 80's keyboard sounding music between modules.. I always have to turn it down as it seems to go on forever. What were you thinking of Mr Parkes Cordock????? Excellent work but would have got another 2 stars on the rating if it was not for the terrible music edited into the programme.

    Story

    This is very good and will give you some great tips. I think that this is probably aimed at those with at least a basic knowledge of shares and investments but even if you don't then I am sure that you will still enjoy this.

    "interesting take on things"
    Overall
    Performance
    Story

    Very interesting take on things here, there is lots to work with. Some of the advice is not going to be easy to take, for example it has a bias towards being a sales person of financial products or being an owner of your own business. Of course there is some great advice for you if you are not in these categories but to get the most from this book you will be in one of those.

    Story

    Strange language is used in many different parts of this book and it is clearly written in another generation. This adds to the charm. The voice of the narrator is strangely soothing and easy to listen too, I enjoyed this immensely.

    Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new forward and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant.

    This is a good book but I have enjoyed others in the same sector far more. I would recommend it but there are others that I would read first.

    Robbie, aka the Naked Trader, is your expert and highly entertaining guide to the often baffling world of the stock market.

    Story

    This gives you all of the basics you need to get going and there are some interesting hints and tips in there too. I enjoyed this but there is that stuffy old man inside of me that thinks talking about toast in a finance book damages credibility... It doesn't, it's just me being a grumpy old man!
    I have recommended this to many of my friends and colleagues who are interested in getting into the world of shares.

    "excellent"

    Story

    This is excellent, there are many mistakes that I have made over the last few years and they could all have been avoided by taking this book into consideration. I don't worry so much about my portfolio now and check the value only twice a month, rather than every morning. I hate to think how much money I have wasted on unnecessary brokers fees and stamp duty. If you have any interest in shares you must read this book.

    Is the Greek alphabet all Greek to you? Is geometry your Achilles heel and does your knowledge of Homer have more to do with The Simpsons than the Sirens? From engineering and architecture to drama and democracy, the world around us is founded on the principles and discoveries of the Ancient World, yet our understanding of it is episodic at best. But it's never too late to learn....
    "Content is great but not as audio"

    There are some very interesting bits and pieces in this but it is definitely a book that is better as a book. I am not sure if this lends its self to the audio book format due to the complexity of some of the content.

    This is a great title and gives you an excellent starting point for your next book. I have gained a great deal of mental stimulation from this particular title. The other great thing about it is that you can break the books up into small sections of about 10-15 minutes, perfect for that walk home or short trip on the tube.
