changethis

I have just discovered a fantastic site called ChangeThis, via Seth Godin's blog. It's essentially a library of Manifestos, which are short pdf books covering various interesting and, at least to me, relevant life and business topics. It's all free, and the quality of the work is pretty good.

The only problem I have is that I already have a huge pile of books next to my bed, ready for reading, and about a hundred other electronic courses from MIT OpenCourseWare waiting on my pc. And now this...

Anyway, I started by reading "The Freak Factor: Discovering Uniqueness by Flaunting Weakness" first. And it's all good and sensible advise, in a 21 page book. Give it a try, if you have time.

Edit: I've also scanned through "25 Ways to Distinguish Yourself", and I'm impressed. This is the kind of stuff they should be giving out at schools and other educational institutions in our country. It's a quick and easy read, but valuable lessons there...
