As I prepare for 2013 I want a list of management, self help, business books to read over the year. Do you have a recent favorite?

It's more about his rapid learning techniques. One of the examples provided in the book was around shooting better baskets in basketball. In fairness, I'm already a decent play but after reviewing his 2-3 page breakdown of what makes a good shot, I hit 19/20 free throws in a row! Even at my peak, I don't think I ever did that.
I also loved the Power of Habit and anything by Marshall Goldsmith is also great.
Hope this helps.

You have excellent taste.
