In the world of business, it’s a “dog eat dog” world. If you don’t stay ahead of the competition or recognize trends early or be smarter, faster and farther-reaching, odds are great that you’ll be sitting on the sidelines or selling the peanuts to the gallery. You must always be learning, and e-books help you do that easily, quickly and conveniently.
Learning early is a key element, and to help that process, below are listed the top five business e-books for college students in 2011. Some are familiar, and some may surprise you.
1.) THINK AND GROW RICH: This book is a business classic for a reason. Whether you want fame, money, peace of mind or another goal, the concepts outlined in this book in hard copy or e-copy bring you insight, inspiration and guidance. It’s not a step-by-step, “how to” book but one of philosophy and personal insight and achievement. The book hit the best sellers list in near-record time and is highly recommended every year.
2.) THE POWER OF EYE CONTACT: Eye contact instills trust, confidence, reliability and forthrightness. It can help you get a date, a job or win an argument. More people judge by what they read in another’s eyes than by body language, which calls a close second place. Learn and master the art of proper eye contact, and your world can expand beyond the horizon.
3.) THE RULES OF WORK, EXPANDED EDITION: Have you ever met, watched or heard of someone who always says the right thing, gets the promotion, is liked by everybody and always seems to do just the right thing? Odds are, they’ve read this book. This book isn’t about hidden, previously unpublicized “insider secrets” on how to get ahead, but it is about getting ahead: It’s about how you are seen doing you work, how you are heard when you’re talking with people, and how you are perceived to have that growth potential to get the promotion and the raise. The original tome become a global sensation practically overnight, and this expanded edition offers even more insight for those who want more out of life, whether it’s a personal application or a professional one.
4.) END PROCRASTINATION NOW: Despite what people think, procrastination isn’t a time management issue: That’s an effect. Procrastination has its roots far deeper than simply losing track of time or determining a different needs hierarchy. Procrastination is born from emotional and cognitive reasoning, and this book explores many reasons and suggests solutions to overcome them. Never again put off ’til tomorrow what should be done already.
5.) THE INNOVATION SECRETS OF STEVE JOBS: Learn from the master how to instill in yourself and others innovative thinking that can launch multi-million-dollar ideas, techniques, and most importantly, thinking to skyrocket businesses and careers. This book won’t lead you in its step-by-step approach on how to build the same business profit he has enjoyed with Apple, but this book will teach your how to spark innovative thinking, creativity and exploit them for business profit.
