  • Stumbling on Happiness
    • Rated 5 stars

    Gilbert's insights and studies into human behaviour and happiness were totally eye opening. Rather than saying, "This is how to be happy..." (which everyone should be suspicious of, it unravels much of the conventional wisdom around happiness...which empowers more than anything I've ever read.

    I loved it.

  • The Gift
    • Rated 5 stars

    This book is so beautiful, I've given it as a gift to many others. What a fantastic look, both philosophically and anthropologically, into the Gift Economy.

  • Wikinomics
    • Rated 3 stars

    This book is good, but only from the perspective of someone who knows very little about what is going on with Web 2.0 and Open Source.

    I love the title. I really wanted to love this book. The premise is great. However, his 'execution' really sucks. How to become a Lovecat? Read alot of business books. Nothing else. Read them. Quote them. Give them away. Pass them along. Newspapers are crap. Magazines are shallow. Hell, real life isn't even mentioned. WTF?

    I agree with reading books. I read lots, give away lots and quote lots. I just don't think that is the "answer".

  • The Art of the Start
    • Rated 4 stars

    I thought I would hate this book because I find Guy Kawasaki's 'real life' commentary and advice quite bad at times (not to mention his recent track record with startups). However, I really loved it.

    I agree that this is an amazing book that should be read by all who are entering the Entrpreneurshipsphere.
