100 simple secrets of successful people

I thought we were already heading into summer, but the weather turned and we've had serious rain, really big waves and some very strong winds these last 2 weeks. I've skipped a lot of training, and tried to catch up on as much reading, and work, as possible. It looks like things are clearing up a little this week, so we can go outdoors again...

Anyway, "The 100 Simple Secrets of Successful People" (what scientists have learned and how you can use it), by David Niven, Ph.D. is a small book I picked up at a second hand book shop sometime ago. It's very easy reading, each "secret" being described in two pages that contain a summary, story and research explaining the point.

There are a number of nice things in the book, but nothing that's not common sense, or "secret" for that matter. I guess it's good to be reminded of these things once in a while, so you can focus on improving your weaknesses, in case you may have forgotten about some of them. Overall I enjoyed the book, and will probably page through it every now and then, when I need a little motivation.
