Book Report: Genius of America

Look at the titles of some of the book reviews of Genius of America.

1. Required reading (the quiz? look around you)
2. An Excellent Introduction to American Constitutionalism
3. Should be required reading for all
4. Urgent and Enjoyable
5. A timely and fascinating reminder
6. Required Reading (this book is so important, there should be a quiz)
7. A guidepost and a wakeup call - that needs just one more chapter!

This last title is my book review. In short it was excellent and I encourage my friends and fellow citizens to seriously study this book. I have already begun re-reading this with my wife.

Eureka! -Archimedes would have liked LinkedIn.com

On Jan 25th as part of the Mastermind topic, I discussed networking on http://www.linkedin.com/. Linkedin has a great discussion forum where you can ask and answer other professional's questions. I know I've been talking about it a lot lately but I really like this site. It's a great way to expand and share your knowlege base with others in a given skill area and it's also a great place to brainstorm and get those "Eureaka" ideas from others.

How many ways to say "Good!"

Have you ever thought of how many ways there are to say good? I found a site called http://www.visualthesaurus.com/ that helps you figure out all the ways that you can say good. The nice thing about Visual Thesaurus is that you are able to search for synonyms in a visual display that allows you to engage your whole brain. Awesome!!!

The greats

Book Report: Here's My Card

If you want to build a Master Mind, you're going to need some business cards. And before you spend a ton of money on business cards, you need to read: Here's My Card. It's a book about selling as much it is about business cards. Bob Popyk gives a ton of strategies to networking yourself with the help of business cards. It also contains a nice section in the back about business card design. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
