Image of What Would Google Do?
A clever analyze of the Google endeavor and some lessons for all of us. Google seems to be less idealized nowadays, but its contribution to changing the way of doing business and its dedication to Information are still dazzling. The recipes that Jeff Jarvis elaborates from the incredible Gogole story are not equally inspired, but I enjoyed a lot this book that is close to my view of sharing vs concealing.

Image of The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of the Learning Organization
A scientific, system based study of the social organizations. This is an obvious, easy reading from the systems theory background. I found some commonalities with the "noosphere" concept of Teilhard de Chardin. Any leader / manager must read it. Apparently, nobody did, or every one of them miss the point.

The Blank Slate

Tags:

Steve Pinker is an extraordinary scientist and writter.
His books are thick and printed in small letters, but they do not hurt: the reading is always captivating and the writting is beautiful.
