Aside from annihilating sudoku books, I’ve never seen my wife Jamie read an actual book in over 4 years.  That all changed last month when Guy Kawasaki was kind enough to send me a copy of his latest book.  Before I could even read the first page, Jamie had started reading the book and she could not put it down.  Just the other night, she made it through the 500-page compilation of two decades of lessons learned, case studies, expert reports and Guy’s famous “lists”.  I will read it over the holidays so I’ll officially be smart by 2009 - watch out!

I can say that Guy’s book, Art of The Start, is a must-read for anyone embarking in entrepreneurship.  You will find yourself nodding and smiling the entire book and then after the first read, will reference the chapters as events come up and find out how true the no-bull assemblance of knowledge is.  Reality Check will be Art of The Start on steroids and the “mantra” of this latest book in my opinion is “make meaning”.  You’ll get it after your read it, hopefully not too late.  - Thanks Guy and Happy Holidays!

I thought it was appropriate to take a photo resting on my new Macbook Pro given Guy was the original Mac evangelist.  If you read the foreward, you’ll laugh your butt off regarding the “Fake Steve Jobs’” take on Guy’s “claim to fame”…

Who am I to argue with wisdom?  I guess we’ll have to kick butt with Goomzee!
