Sefl-help, Self-discovery, and Self-fun Books

Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It is a bit of change from our usual fare of personal growth and self-help books. However, if you are a small business owner or thinking about becoming one, this book is as much a personal growth and self-help book as any of the others we offer.

80% of small businesses fail in the first 5 years. E-Myth stands for the Entrepreneurial Myth, and Michael Gerber maintains that most businesses fail because business owners fail to recognize all the personalities inherent in running a business. That can be a depressing fact, but after reading just the first few chapters of Gerber's book, the lightbulb shines, and you know you will be among the 20% who succeed! Reviewed by Dawn Goldberg
