Anything by Chuck Palahniuk, the author of "Fight Club" and many other great books.

No. It's a book that will enable you to decipher the unique gifts that you were given so that you can have a better understanding of your life's "sweet spot". Living in ones "sweet spot" is the cure for a common life. Hence the title of the book. There is, however, some scripture references in the book. So beware if that's not your cup of tea.

I will say one thing, though. It's odd in that I see several threads on here daily that pertain to unhappiness, confusion, jealousy, anger, etc., mainly due to those who feel the need to always be in control. It's just a darn shame that some people will go through their entire lives and be forced to look back at all of those wasted efforts and emotions.

Okay, I'm done preaching. I don't normally speak out like this on this board, but I think (and hope) that I can reach at least one person by attempting to do so.

Serious though
Blink~Malcolm Gladwell~ The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
When I was looking for this book I ended up borrowing a book by the same title about a kid who became phycic, it was a fiction (obveosly), but it was a sick read.

I might give this book a look on Friday. The only thing that concerns me about this book is the scripture references because that is totally not my cup of tea.

I checked this book out and its all religion ! Once i seen the lady get it from the religion section i said to myself, "Here we go."

I read into it about 10-15 pages and its just too much religion. I really get turned off by that stuff, no offence to you. Like you said before it's just not my cup of tea. Thank you for suggesting it.
