I would also recommend
Winning by Jack Welch
The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You to Where You want to Be by Jack Canfield.

There is a bookshop called Shams at Emperor Plaza they are also good.

But be warned mostly only about 40% of material discussed in most books is useful the rest you take it with a pinch of salt.

@Anika, how i wish i could get that book. I have read alot about this 'investment adviser cum broker' who defrauded American BILLIONS OF DOLLARS (US not ZIM). And he was not even the main beneficiary!

For now, enjoy it, i'll look for it when i travel back to Nai!

I recommend Branson's "Losing my Virginity" & Malcolm Gladwell's "What the Dog Saw". Those should spark something in you.
Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake.

I'm quite an avid reader of books and I must contribute to this list some of the best I have read:

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond
The origin of Wealth by Eric Beinhocker
Crossing the Chasm by Geoffrey Moore
The education of a speculator by Victor Neiderhoffer

Happy reading.

THE WORLD IS FLAT by Thomas Friedman. It's an essential read for everyone living in this day and age. Actually it should be made a set book in secondary schools.......
