[Review of Books] Read by #IS in April 2011

June 1, 2011 by 2 Comments

 Hello SCG,

welcome to 6th month of 2011 (already?!). Let’s kick it with book reviews, which might inspire you to pick some of those titles for your long summer days, too. As (our) beloved Seth Godin said in his yesterday’s blog post ->  ” I wonder why we believe we can skip reading and still be so dang smart.” Guys, I so encourage you to “read your eyes off”, because skipping this “hard part” will not get you anywhere near being indispensable, smart, well – read linchpin. I mean it! So, here is portion of my April’s reading list. Enjoy! [Read more…]

January 4, 2011 by 9 Comments

Hello SCG,

let’s look back to a rear mirror of 2010 with December’s reading list review.

I must admit, it was pretty mystical experience. Lisa Gansky took me into the future of business with introduction of the mesh-y firms; which continued by “walking” the Pilgrimage journey side by side with Paulo Coelho and already challenged mind got even more stretched with essential thoughts of philosopher Rumi. I concluded last month of 2010 with thrilling fiction novel Pharaoh. Woa, what a ride! [Read more…]

Hiya SCG,

I suspect that this year went by somehow fast, don’t you think? 10th wrap up of books, which I have read last month is due. I have taken off with; asking myself “why” with Simon Sinek & then I had a privilege to spent overwhelming time by science fiction piece(s) by Robert Heinlein about Man from Mars and 2 books by Seth Godin, who preaches according to some “wise” people in our planet: science-fiction things,too. 😉 So, let’s hop on a space-ship into “October’s reading universe” of I.S.
