The Classic Text Annotated to Update Graham's Timeless Wisdom for Today's Market Conditions

The greatest investment advisor of the twentieth century, Benjamin Graham taught and inspired people worldwide. Graham's philosophy of "value investing" -- which shields investors from substantial error and teaches them to develop long-term strategies -- has made The Intelligent Investor the stock market bible ever since its original publication in 1949.

Over the years, market developments have proven the wisdom of Graham's strategies. While preserving the integrity of Graham's original text, this revised edition includes updated commentary by noted financial journalist Jason Zweig, whose perspective incorporates the realities of today's market, draws parallels between Graham's examples and today's financial headlines, and gives readers a more thorough understanding of how to apply Graham's principles.

Vital and indispensable, this HarperBusiness Essentials edition of The Intelligent Investor is the most important book you will ever read on how to reach your financial goals.]]> 640 Benjamin Graham Abdullah 0 currently-reading 4.35 1949 The Intelligent Investor

There’s an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re done with the worst thing you’ll have to do all day. For Brian Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task—but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life.

Eat That Frog! shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively. The core of what is vital to effective time management decision, discipline, and determination. This workbook puts the ideas of the original book into action. By following the same twenty-one-chapter format as the book, each chapter includes exercises for you to reflect on your own habits. You’ll also learn through the experience of a narrative character who is struggling with procrastination in her work and home life and uses Eat That Frog! to improve her time management performance.]]> 144 Brian Tracy 1523084707 Abdullah 4 4.00 Eat That Frog!

James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.

If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.

Learn how to:
-Make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
-Overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
- Design your environment to make success easier;
- Get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.

Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.]]> 319 James Clear Abdullah 4 4.34 2018 Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones

Fifteen years ago, in Mitch Albom’s beloved novel, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, the world fell in love with Eddie, a grizzled war veteran- turned-amusement park mechanic who died saving the life of a young girl named Annie. Eddie’s journey to heaven taught him that every life matters. Now, in this magical sequel, Mitch Albom reveals Annie’s story.

The accident that killed Eddie left an indelible mark on Annie. It took her left hand, which needed to be surgically reattached. Injured, scarred, and unable to remember why, Annie’s life is forever changed by a guilt-ravaged mother who whisks her away from the world she knew. Bullied by her peers and haunted by something she cannot recall, Annie struggles to find acceptance as she grows. When, as a young woman, she reconnects with Paulo, her childhood love, she believes she has finally found happiness.

As the novel opens, Annie is marrying Paulo. But when her wedding night day ends in an unimaginable accident, Annie finds herself on her own heavenly journey—and an inevitable reunion with Eddie, one of the five people who will show her how her life mattered in ways she could not have fathomed.

Poignant and beautiful, filled with unexpected twists, The Next Person You Meet in Heaven reminds us that not only does every life matter,but that every ending is also a beginning—we only need to open our eyes to see it.]]> 218 Mitch Albom 0062294466 Abdullah 0 to-read 4.32 2018 The Next Person You Meet in Heaven

]]> <![CDATA[The Five People You Meet in Heaven (The Five People You Meet in Heaven, #1)]]> 40193713
Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in a meaningless life of fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. As the park has changed over the years � from the Loop-the-Loop to the Pipeline Plunge � so, too, has Eddie changed, from optimistic youth to embittered old age. His days are a dull routine of work, loneliness, and regret.

Then, on his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a little girl from a falling cart. With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his � and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever.

One by one, Eddie’s five people illuminate the unseen connections of his earthly life. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.

In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom gives us an astoundingly original story that will change everything you’ve ever thought about the afterlife � and the meaning of our lives here on earth. With a timeless tale, appealing to all, this is a book that readers of fine fiction, and those who loved Tuesdays with Morrie, will treasure.

It is a tale of a life on earth. It’s a tale of life beyond it. It’s a fable about love, a warning about war, and a nod of the cap to the real people of this world, the ones who never get their name in lights.

Since its publication, it has sold over 14 million copies in 38 territories and in 35 languages.]]> 196 Mitch Albom Abdullah 5 4.34 2003 The Five People You Meet in Heaven (The Five People You Meet in Heaven, #1)

Unfortunately, he arrives a day too late. Paul Renauld is found on a golf course in a freshly dug, shallow grave. Stabbed to death, he is in possession of a cryptic love letter. Pitting his wits against the hostile Paris Sûreté, Poirot is looking into Renauld’s past when another corpse surfaces on the same grounds—with wounds from the same murder weapon. But this time, the victim is a total stranger.

With his penchant for delving into the psychology of murder, the intuitive Poirot finds his footing in Christie’s second classic whodunit featuring the now iconic private detective.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People sold over 25 million copies in 40 languages for simple reasons�
Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is one of the best-selling self-help books of all time. It’s in a league all its own because it proposes to do something that the majority of the other books of the genre do not � rebuild you from the inside out.


Self-help books show you ways to improve your outward appearances, such as a diet to lose weight, a gym routine to get more fit, and a manner of dressing right to get the job. Covey starts at a much deeper level, asking why do anything at all? From this basic question, we build forward, showing that action is a natural law of life, and so is direction, and planning, relationships, and personal growth.


By laying down the framework of belief behind each of these concepts, we can engage with them mindfully and effectively. So by increasing our effectiveness, we see goals that seemed like dreams suddenly appear on the horizon, well within our reach.


Who will benefit from this book?
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a journey through yourself. Author Stephen Covey challenges us to define our deepest motivations to find out what would constitute a meaningful life. Once we've done that, we can power through to those meaningful experiences in a more effective way than ever before.


This summary is for anyone seeking purpose and growth.

Witty and conversational, The Coaching Habit takes your work--and your workplace--from good to great.


"Coaching is an art and it's far easier said than done. It takes courage to ask a question rather than offer up advice, provide and answer, or unleash a solution. giving another person the opportunity to find their own way, make their own mistakes, and create their own wisdom is both brave and vulnerable. In this practical and inspiring book, Michael shares seven transformative questions that can make a difference in how we lead and support. And he guides us through the tricky part - how to take this new information and turn it into habits and a daily practice. –� Brené Brown, author of Rising Strong and Daring Greatly]]> 251 Michael Bungay Stanier Abdullah 0 currently-reading 4.23 2016 The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever

وتابع بأن «الكتاب أفرد مساحة جيدة لتجربة طيب في شركة تهامة ودورها الثقافي»، معبراً عن أسفه لأن «جيل اليوم نسيها كثيراً، كما نسي دور شركة تهامة الرائد في عالم المكتبات وعالم القراءة والكتب، ونحن نحاول أن نذكر فيها»، وقال بأن «هذه صفحة مهمة من تاريخنا»، إضافة إلى أن «الكتابة السياسية في السعودية ليست حاضرة والتاريخ السياسي مبتور». والكتاب يحاول أن يقدم صورة جديدة وموضوعية عن مراحل معينة من تاريخ البلد والتي من أبرزها «كيفية التعاطي السياسي، مع الشأن الثقافي»، و«كيفية التعاطي السياسي مع الشأن الصحافي»، إضافة إلى «محاولة اكتشاف الحراك السياسي قبل 11 أيلول (سبتمبر)، والذي ليس معروفاً بشكل كبير في فترات مثل الستينات الميلادية على وجه الخصوص».

وأرجع تسمية الكتاب بـ«السجين 32» إلى أن «طيب تعرض لدخول السجن مرات كثيرة، كان في إحداها يحمل هذا الرقم»، معبراً عن اعتقاده بأن «الكتاب جديد، ولا يمكن اعتباره بدقة سيرة ذاتية أو مذكرات»، لافتاً إلى أن العمل على الكتاب استغرق نحو عام ونصف العام من تموز (يوليو) 2009 إلى تشرين الثاني (نوفمبر) 2010».

وأشار إلى أن «علاقة طيب توثقت بصحيفة «الحياة» خلال عامي 93 أو 94 حين كان في السجن الحائر»، وعزا ذلك إلى أن «طيب استشف من خلال تجربته تلك أن الصحيفة دسمة وثرية، وتستغرق وقتاً طويلاً لقراءتها كما يجب»، منوهاً إلى أن «هذا ما جاء على لسان طيب».

وقال عدنان إن الكتاب «ليس كتاب إثارة، وإنما حاولت قدر الإمكان أن يخرج بصيغة موضوعية، وأن يحرص على تقديم المعلومة والشهادة التاريخية، قبل أي إثارة من أي نوع»، وتمنى أن يكون «النقاش حوله يلامس منهج الكتاب والمعلومات التي قدمها قبل أن يكون مزايدة».]]> 471 أحمد عدنان Abdullah 4 3.97 2011 السجين 32: أحلام محمد سعيد طيب وهزائمه

النيل والفرات:
بسخريته المعهودة ولغته المتينة يلج غازي القصيبي بوابات الخيال ليرسم لنا صورة ساخرة عن واقعنا المرير، يأخذنا في رحلة وهمية إلى جزيرة "ميدوسا" الأسطورية النائية مع صفوة من أبناء الأمة العربستانية المنتشرين هنا وهناك والمنغمسين في ترهاتهم وتفاهاتهم حتى العظم. وعربستان هنا هي كل دولة عربية ولا تعني أي دولة عربية. ومع هؤلاء الـ"سبعة" يواصل القصيبي مهمته في التحريض على النهوض من الغفوة، ويقودنا كي نتساءل مع أنفسنا إلى أي مدى يمكن أن يفرز الواقع شخصيات مثل شخصيات القصيبي وهم حقيقة ليسوا من نسج الخيال بل هم نحن بكل نزقنا وسطحيتنا.
إن أشخاصاً مثل أنور مختارجي والفلكي بصراوي علوان موجودون بيننا حقاً ففيهم الشاعر والفيلسوف والصحفي والطبيب والفلكي ورجل السياسة، وهؤلاء هم أبطال الواقع الذي نرزح تحت وطأة عذاباته. لقد سقط هؤلاء جميعاً في الامتحان، امتحان الرجولة وكانت نهايتهم المضحكة المبكية التي رسمها لهم في نهاية الرواية: "أوضح تقرير الطبيب الشرعي أن الرجال السبعة ماتوا غرقاً، وقد تبين من التحليل أنهم تعاطوا كميات كبيرة من المخدرات والكحول. أما المرأة، التي وجدت على الشاطئ عارية، فلم يتضح للطبيب الشرعي، بعد سبب وموتها، ولم يعثر في دمها على أي آثار لمخدرات أو كحول، ولم تظهر بجسمها أي إصابات. كما ظهر من الفحص أنها عذراء...".]]> 336 Ghazi A.

]]> أبو شلاخ البرمائي 3120085
هو هكذا دائماً وأبداً، القصيبي، مسافر زاده الخيال، وقدرةٌ حوارية ينطلق من خلالها إلى أرجاء وتخوم وأزمنة لا تعرف حدوداً، والمرشد في رحلاته فكرٌ وعى التاريخ والجغرافية والاجتماعات والدبلوماسيات والقهريات والتداعيات وقبل كل شيء العربيات كعلوم قوامها واقع معاش في ظل الهيمنات المتعددة الوجوه والممتدة ظلالها من الأزل من بدء التاريخ المحدد بالتقويم الهجري أو الميلادي أو الفارسي أو اليهودي.
ينطلق القصيبي بتلقائية وبحرية لا حدود لها، من خلال منولوجات وحوارات يستنطق محاوره، ليجري على لسانه ما يعتلج في داخله من هموم وقضايا. وأبو شلاخ يمضي في سرد أحاديثه ومذكراته مع بدايات نبوغه ثم مرحلة الصمود والتصدي ووديعة روزفلت، وامبراطورية "أم سبعة التجارية" ونساوين في حياته ليصل إلى رحلته الغريبة حول العالم واكتشافه الجوانب المتعددة من القمر، يجول المحاور يعقوب المنضّح الشهير بأبو شلاخ البرمائي الدنيا شرقاً وغرباً شمالاً وجنوباً يقابل هتلر، روزفلت، أيزنهاور ماوتس تونغ، يزيح الستار عن أسرار مضت وعن أحداث ووقائع ورجال ونساء، وكما يجول في المكان، يجول أبو شلاخ البرمائي في الزمان مجتازاً مراحل بداية الإنسان مع وسيلة تنقله، الحجار، وصولاً إلى الطائرات والصواريخ والانترنت.

والقصيبي من خلاله يبوح بكل المحظورات، سياسية، أدبية، اجتماعية، لأنه يحق للشاعر ما لا يحق لغيره، شخصياته رموز، وعباراته رموز، ورموزه لا كغيرها من الرموز، وفلسفة الحياة، وفلسفة المعاش، وفلسفة الواقع، والواقع بفلسفته الآنية كل ذلك يمر بخفة من خلال سطور القصيبي الناطقة بالسخرية اللاذعة التي تثير مكامن وجع العربي، ووجع الإنسان حيناً لتند عنه بسمات وقهقهات أحاييناً أخرى، ولما لا، فالقصيبي يضحك مذبوحاً من الألم.]]> 272 Ghazi A.

]]> ألزايمر 8994051 يقف يعقوب العريان أمام بائعة العطور ليشتري زجاجة من عطر زوجته المفضل "إكسنتركس". تسأله البائعة ماذا يريد ويحاول عبثاً تذكر الإسم. تحاول البائعة مساعدته على التذكر إلا أنه يعجز تماماً عن تذكر إسم العطر، عطر زوجته المفضل. بعد دقائق احمرّ فيها وجهه، وبدت عليه كل علامات الاضطراب، غادر المتجر وهو يعد البائعة، التي تبتسم بعطف، بأن يعود إليها ومعه الإسم مكتوباً.

وفي رسالة إلى زوجته من المستشفى الذي يعالج فيه من ألزايمر يقول يعقوب العريان: أن هذا مرض أرستقراطي جداً، وأن عدداً من "صفوة الصفوة" في الغرب قد أصيبوا به. وسأكتفي بذكر بعضهم: باري جولدواتر السياسي الأمريكي المعروف، وريتا هيوارث النجمة العالمية، وشارلتون هيستون ممثل الملاحم السينمائية الكبرى، وجوليانا ملكة هولندا، وأشهرهم جميعاً الرئيس رونالد ريجان. وهذا الأخير هو الذي قال: "هذا مرض جميل! تقابل الأشخاص أنفسهم وتظن أنك ترى وجوهاً جديدة كل يوم".]]> 127 Ghazi A.
