When you read
the same books as
everyone else, you dont
learn anything new.
Its skating to where
the puck was.

Reading is
about insight into
the human experience,
about understanding.
Dont follow in
well-trod footsteps.
Carve a new path.
by MarioMancuso
For the last five years,
Ive tried to do just that
on my popular monthly
reading list email.

T hese are two very short books but will help you
understand the topics more than thousands of
pages on the same topic by countless other writers.
In my view, Hart is unquestionably the best writer
on military strategy and history.
His theories on the indirect approach is life
changing, whether youre struggling with a business
or just office politics. I cant say much more than
read these books. Its a must.

N o one is saying you should
skip your high school
reading list.
The problem is thinking that
thats enough. In order to work
for everyone, those books had
to be safe. Dont read safe.
READ DANGEROUSLY.
