The Myth Of The Garage: And Other Minor Surprises (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I didn't know what to expect in this book as it was free! The book is great, it is a selection of common myths, as well as an expected array of subjects that society and businesses grapple with, such as education, inventions and motivations.I highly recommend it to assist in your thinking, and grappling with your own issues in work and family.This is book number 22 for my year end goal of 52! A good collection of the Heath brothers' articles from Fast Company. If you enjoyed Made to Stick, or Switch, you will likely enjoy this as well. I like their writing style and tone. However, I ran into my usual issue with these sorts of books.....if you are going to publish an anthology, can you do something with it? There is nothing new other than 1 article. Could the authors have commented on the articles now that time had passed? Maybe expand on a few concepts, or show how their opinions may have changed over time? I would have liked something more. That said, I still think the articles are well done, and am looking forward to passing this book on to my high schooler. A budding businessman, I think this collection will help him explore some new concepts.

I didn't hate it nearly as much as Suman did. It was fine.
