China Shakes the World by James Kynge

I've just noticed that the first two books listed here make it seem like I'm into self-help books. Certainly, Carnegie's is self-help, but I was curious about its lasting appeal. Having read it, I'm still not sure why it has had such lasting appeal.

Gilbert's book, though, is not really about finding happiness in a wanky sense. Basically, it's about the tricks the mind plays as we go about living.
