I’m currently reading ‘Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking’ by Malcolm Gladwell is pretty interesting. It’s all about how we undervalue split-second judgements and how they are actually extremely valuable and effective. He backs this up with lots of interesting examples to demonstrate this.
Definately worth a read.[/quote]
My roommate has it and its next on my list.

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kyosaki
A book about how the people with “old wealth” really think differently about how they make/spend/invest their money and how they relay that to their children. Also goes into how our society doesn’t teach about money issues and that we “are bringing up good employees, but noone to be good employers.”
I am also searching for a book on human energy field control and/or buddhist books on energy flow and how to control it. So if anyone has any good recommendations I’d greatly appreciate it.[/quote]
Kiyosaki is a proven FAKE and BS artist. He has never earned a dime in his life at real estate or investing.Burn his book, its worthless

“Gates of Fire”
The novel by Steven Pressfield, based upon the true story of 300 Spartans who, along with about 7,000 allied Greeks, held back an army of over 2 million Persians (you read that right) for several days in 480 B.C. at the Battle of Thermopylae. Though they lost the battle, they held back the Persians long enough for the Greek states to rally together. The key to success were the “Gates of Fire”, a narrow pass in the mountaintops where the Spartans positioned themselves, acting like a valve, keeping the Persians from passing, even as their own dead served as shields.
One of the all time great T-Men books. Pressfield’s seminal work. His other stuff is not as good- including Tides of War- which I had to put down after about 200 pages because it was too convoluted.
Some studio is making a movie about the “Hot Gates”- but I don’t know if they are using Frank Miller’s or Pressfield’s version of the story for the basis of the movie.

Is that true ? i have read a couple of his books
Halfway through Hero in the Shadows By David Gemmell, who is awesome by the way, if anyone is into fantasy, check out “Legend” by David Gemmell, not to be mistaken for the Tom Cruz movie.
Dean Koontz “Demon Seed” is great as well, but he has many.
