• Dr. Marilyn Hughes Gaston, Assistant Surgeon General, Public Health Service:

        Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal With Change in Your Work and in Your Life by Spencer Johnson (Putnam; $19.95).

        “It's a clever little book that takes no more than half an hour to read. It deals with change and how people struggle with change. I'm giving it to everyone I work with.”

        Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Difference by Malcolm Gladwell (Little Brown; $24.95).

        “It's a fascinating book about the point at which movements take off or tip. If you want an idea for change to take off, you need connectors, people with huge Rolodex's who know everyone, to tell their friends. During the American Revolution, Paul Revere had a partner. No one knows about him. Revere was a connector.”

        • Boomer Esiason, former Bengals quarterback:

        Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw (Random House; $24.95).

        “My father was part of that generation, the Depression, World War II. I'm well off now, but it was different in the '20,'30s and '40s. I'm not old enough to remember, but I'm a history buff, not just sports books. (I like books) about historic figures, what they were like and what made them tick.”
