Any good books?

[bipster10]

Hello everyone,
I'll be entering dental school this fall and have pretty much been chilling for the entire summer. My question is does anyone have any good books in mind that you have read recently? Another thread discusses some business type books, any thoughts?

the immortal life of henrietta lacks
the genius in all of us
(the former is simply a great read while the latter may provide a little extra motivation for school)

What types of books do you like to read?

I ordered these 2 books for the summer ....

Mastering the Business of Practice
Everything is Marketing: The Ultimate Strategy for Dental Practice Growth

Dentistry is more than just treating patients... esp if one day you desire to own your own practice... it is important to expand your mind outside of the "sciences" ...

Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was a good book... I read it this past year. Very intriguing.

I'm glad you started this thread, because I'm in the same situation and would like some good business books to read. I was thinking about reading the E-Myth Revisted or Ten Day MBA, does anyone else have any suggestions?

Oh ok... I found a place at The Redwood ... which is walking distance from the school.

Enjoy the summer!

Born to Run--Christopher McDougall

It will make you think differently about running forever. Even for Non-runners it's a fantastically entertaining book.

 

[BlueWolv]

The Excruciating History of Dentistry by James Wynbrandt

 

[dr hutchison]

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee is very interesting and well written.

 

[dragonteeth]

DeGowan's Diagnostic Exam. It's really a medical book, but it's very well written and easy to read. The first section will really be useful in structuring the mental process you develop for patient examination.
