Are you Educating Yourself?

For the past several years I have simply found myself flouting through my career. I know the areas I am good at and I know the ones I'm not. I tend to stay away from the areas where i'm weakest. The past several months I have found I needed to re educate myself on industry trends, technology and economics in my field. Its the first time in a while I have had to start learning...and I actually like it!

I have determined to become an expert on certain new areas in my field where just a few months ago I knew little. Have you found yourself in a similar situation? Let me know about it. What books are reading to further your knowledge in a particular area? If not cant answer that I encourage you to hit the bookstore or amazon and start finding where your passion as moved to.
