A few books to ponder, if you haven't read them already, are: Daniel Pink's A Whole New Mind Todd Kashdan's Curious Robert Holden's Success Intelligence Barbara Frederickson's Positivity Pam Slim's Escape from Cubicle Nation I could go on but won't :-) Anissa I like your idea of an “intellectual diet” and find myself immersed in about five books at any one time.

Exposure to something new and different is going to have a much bigger impact than "more of the same". Taking someone else's book recommendation is an excellent way to do that. Good suggestion, Rich.

I found The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game that way, a book I would NEVER have chosen for myself, and it was really enjoyable. Stephen King talked about One Mississippi on his site and so I picked that one and it was good too... finding book suggestions in unusual places leads to out of the ordinary choices that can be really good.
