An unusual “Best of” in Web2.0 times
Do you remember old school media?
In times of loads of Web-2.0-Best-of-Lists (for Blogs, Webpages,…) we offer something quite strange:
A list of brilliant books we read recently.
YES BOOKS! WE REALLY MEAN BOOKS! THESE BULKY THINGS MADE OUT OF REAL PAPER!
We figured out, that a good part of the ideas we develop, decisions we take and strategic moves we make can be somehow traced back to books we have read. The Internet environment is a great place to find fast and up-to-date information. It’s daily business to keep up with it. But the slow media has its place to.
Reading a book always allows us to take a birds-eye-view on our ideas, rethink our course, our decisions and our motivation.
Does reading a book gives you inspiration too? Then go ahead…
