Talent is Overrated and the book is Overrated.

- No one is born as a manager, webmaster, engineer, doctor. You can learn everything.
- Having some modicum of talent is a necessary, but condition for success.
- Anyone can be good… and anyone can be better.
- Mozart became Mozart by working furiously hard. Same Tiger Woods. Same Steve Ballmer.
- What you want – really want – is fundamental because deliberate practice is a heavy investment.

small SUMMARY: 2/5: Talent is Overrated is another example of the long book. The author should write 50-page manifesto. The same idea is used from the beginning to the end without any action for “the users” like me.

The Real Book About Delivering Happiness

- Live and Work on purpose. Working and living without a goal is not worth it and fail.
- Being happy is the main goal of everyone of us. Why don’t share with others your happiness.
- Build your business on core values.
- Luck is only the word. The real luck are people that share your vision.

small SUMMARY: 5/5: I was smiling, I was crying. I was inspired. The amazing book. Worth reading and specially listening (read by Tony and his employes). A great story about begining, bad choises, good choises and happy ending. And everything has only one goal: delivering happiness.

Why Some Ideas Stick?

- Simplicity – Idea must be simple. Watch Inception.
- Unexpectedness – Real idea should be presented when “clients” are not prepared.
- Concreteness – Specific, concrete ideas with details are stickier.
- Credibility – Authority or Anti-Authority is needed.
- Emotions – Emotions and the Maslow’s hierarchy are the keys to success.
- Stories – Be real, good story is a must.

small SUMMARY: 2/5: The concept of the book is great, but… there was something missing. I had really big problem with ending this book. The book is so simple and so boring sometimes. For sure should be shorter. A few good ideas with a few examples and that’s it.

Really Get Things Done

- Small Notebook is the best way to capture things.
- Everything should be done as simple as possible.
- The best way to be productive is to find one single goal and do everything to achieve it.
- One habit at a time.
- Find passion. There is no other way to be happy with your job.

small SUMMARY: 5/5: Minimalistic version of ZTD is amazing and really fits to my idea of life and to my new lifestyle desing. Amazing and short book. Much better to listen/read after GTD by David Allen.
