Political discourse dispensed with the notion of empirical truth a while ago, but there were some lingering vestiges of “shared history” that remained… until now. The film Anonymous made it okay to ignore “accepted wisdom” (formerly known as “truth or “facts”) and supplanted it with WHATEVER I BELIEVE AS LONG AS IT HAS SOME TRUTHINESS AND I SAY IT LOUDLY.

| This book certainly gets you thinking about the overall concept of dead ideas... those ways of thinking that are usually taken for granted but no longer serve their original purpose or defeat the ability to improve. In the context of management I thi...more | |

| I really wanted to like this book because as a financial planner I am a big fan of the philosophy behind the "Bogleheads." Named after John Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group, these people beleive in the power of controlling their own investments a...more | |

| I really wanted to like this book, and for the most part I did. Unfortunately, it got to feeling like it was one joke, extended far too long. Had this been 100 pages shorter, I probably would have given it a 4 or even a 5 as the humor is right up my...more | |

| I hadn't read this in decades and I was thrilled to come back to it and find it is even more wonderful than I remembered. In a world that revels in the random and the cynical, this should be our bible. Innocence confronting reality seems to be a them...more | |

| Not sure what possessed me to pick this up... but it is an interesting snapshot of Kerouac's world and descent into "madness" in and around Big Sur in northern California. The sense of wild desperation that seems to cling to Kerouac and his cohorts,...more | |
