Choosing a book…

As a  continuation to Becky’s last post about sorting email, I often find myself struggling when choosing the right book at the library…
So many times I buy novels that I never finish.
They all end up taking dust until the day I dare to give them attention… never most of the time!

I recently learnt from a friend the 4 easy steps to choose a book:
1. read the cover of the book.
2. read the back cover of the book, you will often find quotes there from other readers.
3. read the table of contents or index. The structure of the book shall be a good guidance.
4. read randomly half a page in the middle of the book. Feel the flow/the writing style of the author… That should really help on your decision making.


Those steps can really save you time and money. 

Of course, this comes in addition to recommendation from colleagues/friends.
The last management book that I read and would advise to you: “The E myth revisited” by Michael GERBER.
It provides lots of practical information on the do’s and don’ts about your business organization… Basic principles about systems that are essentials to success. It applies extremly well to Ultradent.

Happy reading folks!
