Wandering in the wilderness
Erin and I got back in town today after a week away from email, phones, news, and responsibilities. We enjoyed time together in rural Washington. I usually recharge away from people and close to the natural created sanctuaries of this planet - so I'm back refreshed.
We got a chance to catch up on some reading - and we just burned through those pages. I have two high recommendations for people. One is a book called "Love Busters". Cheesy title - but great concepts for married people. I don't think Erin and I even knew of all of the lurking landmines in our relationship. Criticism, annoying habits, finances, anger, and selfish demands are all dealt with in detail. One fascinating recommendation by the author is to fix annoying habits that bug your spouse. I think I held this as a privilege of being an individual before I read this book. Now Erin and I are working through those tough old habits.
A second must read is Tribes - by Seth Godin. For anyone interested in our current culture and where we are headed (re: post-post-modern) - this is the book to read. It's an intersection of technology, leadership, and psychology. Companies, religions, and organizations are no longer led from the top. They are led by passionate people willing to sacrifice and communicate and be a heretic and lead. I listened to the audiobook from iTunes (super cheap download). Great stuff.
