I read Crush It! over the Christmas break and loved it. I keep recommending it – along with Malcolm Gladwell's The Tipping Point (give it a go if you haven't read it already). The only beef I have with GV's suggestions is that working crazy hours is rather counter-productive to loving your family (another one of his recommendations). It's hard to love your partner, kids, folks or what have you if you hardly see them, and you're dog-tired when you do. I'm all for following your passion, but if your work/life balance is out of whack, that's… uh, whack, as Gary might say. Work hard? Sure. Work harder? No – work smarter. Which is where social media really kicks in…
