3.		The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable from Penguin Price: £5.29 Customer Review: As a statistician, the book and its premise struck me as an interesting read, but it is clear after a few chapters that the book itself is meandering nowhere.

5.		Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking from Penguin Price: £4.99 Customer Review: 'Blink' is, as many others have said, an anecdotal, absorbing book on the premise of just how powerful gut instincts can be. It's not an in-depth analysis or criticism of theory, but as I picked it up that wasn't what I was looking for anyway. As a Psychology student, I read it outside of my course... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies from John Wiley & Sons Price: £7.94 Customer Review: I've only read a couple of chapters so far and I'm already full of positive thinking and belief in myself and my ability to recover from post natal depression.

9.		How to Win Friends and Influence People from Vermilion Price: £5.00 Customer Review: I read in 'How I made it: 40 entrepreneurs reveal all' by Rachel Bridge that this book had influenced someone greatly, to the extent that they became a millionaire, and thought no more of it.
