My reading list for 2010


1. Problem Solving 101 - Ken Watanabe



Problem Solving 101 started out as a simple guide to teach Japanese schoolchildren critical thinking skills. But it quickly became an adult bestseller, thanks to the powerful effectiveness of Ken Watanabe's problem solving methods.

The tools in this book come from the author's experience as an elite McKinsey consultant. But you don't need an MBA or complicated computer software to use them. You'll learn how to broaden and organize your thinking about a problem, so that more possible solutions become clear.

Problem-solving oriented thinking can help us take control of our lives, deal with the challenges we encounter, and even change the world. Once you've mastered the skills in this book, you'll wonder how you ever got by without them.

Full of useful diagrams and quirky drawings, Problem Solving 101 is simple enough for a middle schooler to understand but sophisticated enough for business leaders to apply to their most challenging problems.


2. Lukewarmness - The Devil in Disguise (by Francis Carvajal)



The condition of lukewarmness in the spiritual life is always preceded by a series of small infidelities. The radical cure to this sickness is thoroughly explained with practical resolutions.


3. Always Cheerful - Making Others Happy


The much-acclaimed Spanish author and magazine publisher compiled some of his weekly conversations on television with young people.
He gives pieces of advice and friendly tips to everyone—the youth in particular—so that they be happy with the Christian aspiration of making others happy.
