|title=Why You? 101 Interview Questions You'll Never Fear Again (3rd Edition)
|author=James Reed
|rating=5
|genre=Business and Finance
|summary=Six years on from the original edition, the book is being re-issued with a bonus chapter entitled ''The Future of Work'' which includes an additional 10 questions. I've come to this some 6 years after reviewing the original book and my life has changed significantly in the meantime. I'm no longer working in middle-management having opted for a down-shift into reduced hours freelancing to enable me to focus on other (not necessarily paying) work. I can therefore relate to the first point made in this chapter namely that independence and flexibility are core skills that employees need to have.

|genre=Business and Finance
|summary=Whatever your age it's frustrating to have to work for someone else. If you're under twenty-five there's a strong chance that you'll be under-valued and probably not paid very well. There is though, a certain security in employment, usually because there's a reasonable certainty of income and a possibility of paid holidays: when you're self-employed neither of those are guaranteed. It is, though, a big step to leap into the world of self-employment. ''Time is Money'' is a self-development tool aimed at young people, creatives and people in business.

|isbn=Duhigg_Smarter
|title=Smarter Faster Better
|author=Charles Duhigg
|rating=5
|genre=Business and Finance
|summary=''Smarter Faster Better'' is the ideal book for someone who loves both stories and career-related self-improvement. Readers looking for quick answers, bullet points or sound bites may be disappointed as Duhigg's approach is to focus on case studies, told with the flair of a short story, and then extrapolate from these rather than listing tips and exercises. However, if you have the time and patience to get to the point of each chapter slowly (and surely this is a subject matter worth devoting time to), you will doubtless find that Duhigg is an excellent storyteller and cleverly articulates the key message from each story so that they stick.
