Personal Learning Books

Brett Miller has taken me up on my 100 Conversation Topics which you can see what's happening at eLearning Learning - 100 Conversations. His post were some book recommendations for learning professionals. I must say that his list of books was quite interesting and come from a bit outside where I normally think. I went and ordered:

• How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day

just based on Brett's comment:

Gelb looks at what made the greatest learner of all time the, um, greatest learner of all time;

I wasn't as sure on the others:

• Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment
• Way of Aikido, The: Life Lessons from an American Sensei: Life Lessons from an American Sensei
• The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance

I still have the horrible habit of ordering a lot more books than I can ever read. I once took a personality profile and the feedback person walked into the room and started with, "So you like going into bookstores" - which was not one of the direct questions on the profile. And, yes, I do.

Thanks Brett for the suggestions.
