 | We Keep Learning --
Because there is always the
Next New Thing to Learn | | Greetings, After the success of The Tipping Point, Blink, and Outliers, people have waited for a new Malcolm Gladwell book. It has arrived! David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants. I uploaded the book on my Kindle App on October 1, the morning it was published. And pretty much devoured it. Like his other books, this book is a great conversation starter. There are favorable reviews; critical reviews; and outright unfavorable reviews. But, as always, I will try to let the book speak for itself. (Hint: I'm more of a fan than some of the critical reviewers seem to be). And this much is sure; Malcolm Gladwell is the best storyteller-in-nonfiction-print that I have ever read. Karl will present his synopsis of The Truth About Leadership: The No-Fads Heart-Of-The-Matter Facts You Need To Know by Kouzes and Posner. These two have added so much to our understanding of leadership. (I still think that their Encouraging the Heart is a must read for every leader!) And, this month, we will have a bonus program from 8:30-9:30 with Hugh Aynesworth, on his book November 22, 1963: Witness to History. This will be worth your time as we reflect back during the 50th anniversary time of this tragic event. (You can register on-line, along with your regular registration -- or, pay at the door). Come join us. Learn with us. I think you will find it to be a valuable use of an early Friday morning.
Randy Mayeux ps - The Park City Club has a spectacular view of the city, and the best breakfast! you can find -- with a made-to-order omelet bar, and a full and scrumptious buffet. Bring your appetite. and... In March, I wrote 30 blog posts, highlighting 30 books over the first 15 years of the First Friday Book Synopsis. Click here for the full list of 30 -- with links to each of the posts. |
