Great Reads of the Week

Feb 17th, 2009 by Carlos

The No-Stats All-Star by Michael Lewis. If you loved Moneyball and you don’t hate basketball, this is a great article for you. And even then, it’s Michael Lewis, so you know you can’t go wrong. Then small bit about Shane Battier’s life is even more interesting after just recently finishing Outliers. A MUST read. (thanks to Jim for scooping me on this one!)
How to Build Confidence and Destroy Fear by JD at Get Rich Slowly. JD has moved beyond the whole “personal-finance tips” and into the “third stage” of personal finance. I for one am a big fan if he continues with these kinds of posts. In his latest he takes a look at how confidence is built over time and how important a role it plays in our successes.
Sugar, Spice and Vitamins: Three Types of Posts that Will Grow Your Blogs Traffic at ProBlogger. This was one I read a while back but kind of forgot about. It’s aimed mostly at bloggers but I think it applies to anyone who does any kind of writing on a day-to-day basis. Writing compelling stuff that gets people’s attention isn’t easy, but this was a very straightforward article that really laid it out nicely. Well done.
