I have read several books that I would recommend recently.
Lean In: Women, Work, and the Wll to Lead, Sheryl Sandberg; ok, I read this awhile ago, but I refer back to it often. If you are a working woman and have not read it yet, get it now.
Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, Keith Ferrazzi & Tahl Raz; The author is a great salesman and master networker, but he has some good ideas and suggestions that can help all of us expand our sphere of influence.
Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers, Lois P Frankel, Ph.D.; A lot of good ideas about how to be perceived as a capable leader in the office. There are enough suggestions you can pick and choose which are most relevant & important to you.
The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts, Gary Chapman; Great relationship book that helps identify what methods of showing love are important to you. Suggest reading with your partner to build communication and trust in the relationship.
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus: The Classic Guide to Understanding the Opposite Sex, John Gray, Ph.D.; Although this book is a little dated and tends toward generalizations, there are some insightful observations about how women and men relate to each other. Unfortunately, since we tend to be problem solvers, I think female engineers are from Neptune (a little of both).
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, David Allen; I admit I love lists. This methodology takes lists to another level and helps organize your action items for maximum productivity. It sounds complicated at first, but once implemented, it can be rolled into your daily routine.
Rich Kid Smart Kid: Giving Your Child a Financial Head Start, Robert T. Kiyosaki; This book covers some of Mr. Kiyosaki's methods from Rich Dad Poor Dad, but also introduces ideas to help teach our kids to think like entrepeneurs and learn from failure.
Others that are on my list, but I have not read yet:
Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, Susan Cain
The Richer Sex: How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners is Transforming our Culture, Lisa Mundy
What suggestions do you have?
