REVIEW: Tribes- We Need you to Lead us
Another nice piece from Seth Godin. Last week I heard this book at once during my flight to Oman. The book is really very interesting, inspiring and the same time very realistic.

QUOTATION: Uderstanding Human Nature
If you accept that human beings are difficult to change, and embrace (rather than curse) the uniqueness that everyone brings to the table, you’ll navigate the world with more bliss and effectiveness. And make better decisions, too. From Linchpin
