Reading:

I listed to more of "Start With Why".  The more I listen to this book, the more I dislike it.  The author basically cherrypicks things from history that confirm his arbitrary hypothesis about how motivation works and sloppily tries to relate it to business.  The book title should probably be named "Confirmation Bias: Why I like Apple Inc., MLK's 'I have a dream speech', and the Wright Brothers".
Listening to this book, I feel like the author is blatantly disrespecting my intelligence.  The book is a carnival of vagueness told in short, simple business-speak.  While I don't feel like listening was a total waste of time, this book does make me think that writers in this genre can essentially just make up whatever bullshit they want, strap wings on it, and expect it to fly.
