I haven't put any great list of blogs together, but I will at some point. For now, one blog I like is Dr. K at http://drkblog.com/. It's focused on interpersonal skills. As far as books, I have book recommendations on my sidebar under Resources. One book that might surprise you is, Overachievement. It's counter-intuitive and is full of great techniques and stories for improving effectiveness. @ Jim

Can you share more blogs that you appreciated, as well as books. Thank you! :D Wow, you have read so many books!

I don't throw that around lightly. My favorite quote of his was: "People who don’t take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year. People who do take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year." We may as well put ourselves out there and create work that changes people's lives because if we don't we are making an even bigger mistake. We are all such amazing creatures. We just need to let our inner passion out for everyone to enjoy. Peter Drucker was a genius. I don’t throw that around lightly. My favorite quote of his was:
