Books I've read recently & a book I've listened to on CD

Queen of your own life by Kathy Kinney & Cindy Ratzlaff: Entertaining, a quick read

Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod of gapingvoid.com I subscribe to his cartoon newsletter. Very entertaining book. I like his idea of little drawings on business card sized pieces of paper due to portability and convenience. I like his sex & cash theory that a creative person basically has two kinds of jobs: one is the sexy, creative kind and the second is the kind that pays the bills.

Just finished listening to "Get Motivated" by Tamara Lowe. I enjoyed her Motivational DNA theory and how it can be applied to better understand and motivate yourself and others. Here's a link to the test http://www.getmotivatedbook.com/Test.aspx
