A Woman's Book of Money and Spiritual Vision: Putting Your Financial Values into Spiritual Perspective. Williams, Rosemary and Joanne Kabak. Published in paperback by Innisfree Press, 2001.

This is the problem no one ever wants to talk about. This excellent book is for you if you just can't stop spending money, or if you worry about and horde money, or if you can't seem to ever get out of debt, or you feel guilty when you spend even just a little money, or take cash advances against one credit card to pay another, if money problems are ruining your relationship. You'll find yourself and find answers to your problems here.


The Girl's Guide to Being a Boss (without being a bitch), Friedman, Caitlin & Kimberly Yorio. Published by Morgan Road Books, 2006. The book offers help with how to build a tem, how to delegate, communicate and motivate, but I think the best part is the section on the "don'ts" - the ways you can alienate your staff.
