Designed for Success: The 10 Commandments for Women in the Workplace
$21.99
This is a beginning overview of a number of different topics, but doesn't go into enough detail on any one of them. If you're looking for suggestions on how to dress, for instance, this doesn't go much further than "dress a level up" and look good. There is a bit more on negotiating skills, but there are other books that go into far greater detail, even for professionals just starting out.

Each chapter starts with a biblical quote, and the author references God often enough that it starts to feel like this belongs in the Christian section. Fine if you don't mind this, but quite alienating if you are either not Christian or don't appreciate mixing religion in with workplace discussions.

For productivity, I'd recommend Getting Things Done & for workplace dress and behaviors (for men and women) I'd recommend You've Only got Three Seconds by Camille Lavington instead.

Success Is Not an Accident: Change Your Choices; Change Your Life
$13.99
I've never written a review before, but I have to with this one. I've read some of the 3stars and below, all stating that this is regurgetated information. This may be true, except that Newberry's approach is interactive. You do the exercises and you THINK and you CREATE. You don't simply just take in information.

I also found the book to be quite motivational and comprehensive covering topics ranging from getting your mission statement, to effective goal setting, time management, affirmations, visualization with amazing tips and techniques for each. Newberry leaves you lacking nothing.

I've also read his first edition which completely CHANGED my life, business life, personal life etc. This edition seemed to have more biblical quotes than I remember the last one having (which bothered me a tad). But I have to say.. This is one of my all time favourite, best books ever. Practical, concise and thorough.

Masters of Success : Proven Techniques for Achieving Success in Business and Life
$18.95
If you are looking for practical, how-to this is definitely not the book. But this is the book if you are looking for sparks of inspiration, a wide collection of what success can mean, and interesting tidbits across careers, walks of life, and demographics. The bite-sized length of each story make this book a fun and breezy read. For Michael Gerber fans: check out Michael Gerber's spot-on closing remarks about success. That alone makes this book worth reading.
