Here are some of the books that Dennis recommended:

2) Notes from a friend by Anthony Robbins

3) The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwarz

4) Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

thank you Alvin and Ax for compiling the "Book List", Great books I have read and learned alot and recommend all of you to read as well.

Each year, I read about 30 to 50 books, however, very few books are really "Great" books, most are just good or average.

I personally discovered that Great Books are books that when I re-read a few years later, I would still find something New to learn and gain a slightly different perspective each time I read them.

For Stock Investing, the Greatest book to read would probably be "The Intelligent Investor" written by Benjamin Graham, the "sifu" of Warren Buffett. It is a book that I will re-read every 2, 3 years, and each time, I might gain a slightly different perspective.

And if anyone is thinking of starting a business, there is one book that you MUST read before doing so. It is entitled "The E-Myth", written by Michael E Gerber, which stands for the "Myth of Entrepreneur" or myth of Entrepreneurship.

Year 2010 marks the 10th year I'm in business myself, and I can personally testify that I agree with alot of things (including myths of Entrepreneurship) shared in this book.

Many people think that they are in business, but the FACT is they are just self-employed. You're self-employed if you have to be there to Work for the business to continue. You only truly Own a Business when the Business is Profitable and can run Without You. I have to say that I only managed to really "own a business" since year 2008. From year 2000 to year 2007, my business cannot run without me.
