The Definitive Book of Body Language
by Allan and Barbara PeaseRight after I saw Shark Tank and started thinking about body language, I saw this book at friend's house. I have just read the introduction where Allan Pease talks about his learning experience as a young boy selling rubber sponges from door to door. He noticed people showing palm of their hands to him tended to buy his product while those who make fists or point fingers would not.
Looking forward to learning how can understand my customers better.

Geography Coloring Book
I purchased it several months ago when I finally admitted how little geography I knew. I'd better at least know the location of coffee-producing countries. Descriptions of countries are a little bias to US point of view. But it is still a good way to learn geography (beside actually visiting places, of course.)

Not For Sale
I heard the interview of author, David Badstone, on the radio and was shocked to learn human slavery exists in our backyards. I was aware there are forced labors at massage parlors and sweat shops in San Francisco but did not know the extent of this crime. I will read this book soon and think what I can do at Snappy's.
Think and Grow Rich
Masa recommended a well-known book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. I read it once a few years ago when my friend Camp gave it to me. I decided to open it again and found words Camp wrote me inside the cover. “Each time you read this book you will discover something new. Enjoy.”
I have read (for the second time) only the first two chapters so far, but what the author calls his “secret” is a little clearer to me than before. It actually reminds me of the book “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. Both books emphasize you can achieve your goal by visualizing yourself already living in it.
Will continue reading this book and see what else I find this time.
