books, books and more (good) books

Ever since we cancelled the cable and put away all the TV’s 2 ½ years ago, I have become a voracious reader. This is really saying something for someone who could barely finish their reading assignments in High School and college!
Anyhow, I look to many sources for recommendations of good books and have learned which friends like the kind of books that I also enjoy.
Recently, I have participated in a number of “webinars” sponsored by Cruise West, a small-ship cruise company. The presenter for these webinars was Lisa Haneberg who is the sole propietor of her company, Haneberg Management, and the author of H.I.M.M.: (High Impact Middle Management): Solutions for Today's Busy Managers, Organization Development Basics, Coaching Basics and several short e-books.
Though Lisa is not "literally" a friend (she lives 2500 miles from me and we have never met in person), I truly value her book recommendations. Why? Because every one of the book authors she tauts displays the same passion about their subject that Lisa displays in her management business and that I (hope) I display in my Travel Planning business. Without fail, I come away from the books with new ideas, new passion and renewed energy for my business.
Just when I had finished the last of the books from last month, I went to Lisa’s blog and – TA DA! – just today she wrote about a new one! The latest is is called Encyclopedia of Positive Questions - Volume One by experts in Appreciative Inquiry, Cooperrider, Whitney, Trosten-Bloom and Kaplin. I am generally able to obtain the books at my local library so, guess where I’m headed next!
Anyone reading my blog who has read something great that you'd like to share, bring it on!
