Squeezed Books

I think a lot of these books are worth reading if you’ve got the time and like to read, like me. The ones I’ve summarized, at least, are generally well regarded, which is why I got them in the first place. That said… some of them are also big ideas that have been stretched out in order to fill up a book.

I enjoyed mostly the fact that it talks more about do what you are passionate about, not just what pays the most. I think a lot of people are stuck in crappy jobs because it pays well. As opposed to doing something that makes them happy.

The steve jobs point is interesting, as you know steve jobs was a founder. And apple was doing really well. Then he left apple and all of the sudden microsoft and pc’s impacted the market heavily. Now that steve jobs is back, mac is the new computer to buy. Almost contrary to the book about legacies.

I loved the quote try alot of stuff and see what works. It is important to constantly change and adapt to the different changes in the market.

I thought that this was a great book. There could have been more specific information, but it was worth the read.

This is an interesting take on Crossing the Chasm:

His point is that perhaps there are simply too many apps being aimed at early adopters, and so they are likely to have less attention to dedicate to each app, increasing the likelyhood that any given app will fail. The big assumption in his logic is that there is a fixed-size pie of early adopters to divy up. Is that true, or is it possible that there might be factors that increase (or decrease) people who act as early adopters?
