Audio book list for September

I spend over an hour in traffic everyday so I try and listen to as many audio books as I can. I figure I might as well use the time wisely. Here are two books I love and have listened to more than once:

Tha Black Swan by Nassim Taleb, this book keeps me in check and reminds me that my brain is far from perfect at getting to right conclusions when looking at data. I suggest if you work with making decisions from data, interested in investing or work with other people that make decisions from data that this book is a must read.

The Art of Profitability by Adrian Slywotzky, I will concede that this book is written in a very different style but I couldn't put it down (pull the plugs out my ears in this case) I finally got the idea behind the term business model. The book forces you to think in terms or where and how does the profit in the business come from and how do I grow it. I find myself standing in the pizza store try to figure out how they make their money and what the opportunities would be to increase the profit. So if you like trying to understand business and how the cogs turn then this is a must listen.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I did
