Two months ...

Difficult to maintain a blog when you have so many occupation :) What's happen during this two months ? Some trips in les Alpes (skiing) and in London (this city is fanstatic ... if you are rich).

Personnal MBA

I have begin to read some books from the Personnal MBA . First was getting things done. An interesting method of every day work and life management. You can manage this method with Google notepad !

I have read the book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" which describe six common things in people psychologie. Like PersonnalMBA says : Knowing these natural psychological tendencies will help you in two ways: (1) you'll become more persuasive, and (2) you'll be able to identify when these tendencies are present, protecting you from being misled in the future. I am now reading "how to win friends & influence people" and my next books will be : The unwritten laws of business, the design of every day things and Making things happen. I am an addict :)
