Good that you have read the classic, Think and Grow Rich. Read more classics, they are good.

Ok some preview from the content page as i am still reading it
This book is for anyone who has thought about starting his/her own business but has reluctant to try. etc etc...
It is written in 2 part
The first part is about : "Getting Started - It may not be as hard as you think"
Here the author describle about 5 myth
Myth 1 : It take an Extraordinary Person to start a Business
Truth: You can do it
Myth 2 : Starting a Business Involves Lots of Risk
Truth: It may not be as risky as you think
Myth 3 : It Takes a lot of Money to Start a Business
Truth: It might not cost as mush as you think
Myth 4 : It take a great deal of business experience to start a successful business
Truth: Successful Business are started by people with all levels of business experience
Myth 5 : The Best Business Ideas are already taken
Truth: There are an infinite number of possibilities for Good business ideas
In each Myth chapter, the author wrote more practical approach and case studies to allow reader to remove this doubt about starting a business, like the condition in which compelling business idea is created etc etc the way to finance your business start up etc etc...
Part 2 is more about Running and Growing a Business
So will be more applicable once you started a business.
So i will left the rest for your reading pleasure

Seems like a good book. Especially for newcomers or skeptical/risk adverse people.

May i recommend "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell. Great 2nd book to Tipping Point.
It shares with us how quickly the brain makes right decisions.

Yup, will read that currently reading his third book "Outliers"
Harvard Business Review is also a great source for business.
Like Micheal E Porter's "On Competition" and another book titled "Blue Ocean Strategy" I got them but no time to read yet

What is 'Tipping Point' and 'Blink' about?
Sadly my reading speed is slower than most. But I started early!
