Book I read this week: Life’s Golden Ticket: An Inspirational Novel by Brendon Burchard. I read Amazon reviews that criticized this book as being too simplistic, but I completely disagree. This book is really powerful, and it will make you think about your life and what you are doing with it. Brendon is releasing a new version this year for the 10th anniversary, and I look forward to reading that version soon!

 Book I’m reading next week: Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. This book by the creators of 37 Signals supposedly turns business principles on their head. I use Basecamp and Highrise, so I am excited to read their ideas.
