89 seasons: October 2009
http://89seasons.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Oct 15, 2009. I watched David Lynch's Dune a few weeks ago. I thought it was OK (I guess I didn't "get it"). I really liked this line from the movie: " Fear is a mind killer. Oct 4, 2009. Co-founder of ZipCars. Its a very creative solution to the problem of pollution and congestion. Also, I'm sure there are tons of people who don't want to own cars (and the headaches that go along with it), but find them necessary every so often (they even rent cars by the hour). Their story.

89 seasons: Recent Readings
http://89seasons.blogspot.com/2010/01/recent-readings.html
Jan 31, 2010. The story was pretty decent, but the character development wasn't that great and so it took me a while to finish it. The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why. Only read the first 50 pages; this book wasn't for me:-(. The Night Angel Trilogy. I couldn't put these books down! They were absolutely amazing - but very sombre, which I didn't expect. The characters were really amazing. Overall, it was tons of fun! Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

89 seasons: Books
http://89seasons.blogspot.com/2009/05/books.html
May 3, 2009. Lately I've been reading 101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married: Simple Lessons To Make Love Last. By Linda and Charlie Bloom. It is quiet wonderful: each lesson is 2-3 pages long and contains a mini-story about a key principle. Some are obvious (like #30. Expectations set us up for resentment. Others are surprising (like #38. Vacations are necessities, not luxuries. 44 If you think, "You're not the person I married," you're probably right. The Gift of Fear. If I remember correctly).

89 seasons: Bounce
http://89seasons.blogspot.com/2009/09/bounce.html
Sep 27, 2009. The market is shifting. And your company is facing hard times. But you don't want to just survive it; you want to move to the next level. And maybe predict where the market is going and be ready for it. The book, Bounce. But I've been seeing more and more business books of this sort: a long (made up) story that illustrate a few short principles. I think Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the Box. And The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict.

Apr 27, 2012. Imagine a blind turtle, roaming the depths of an ocean the size of the universe. Every spiritual tradition has stressed that this human life is unique, and has a potential that ordinarily we hardly even begin to imagine. If we miss the opportunity this life offers us for transforming ourselves, they say, it may well be an extremely long time before we have another. The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.

89 seasons: Born to Run
http://89seasons.blogspot.com/2009/09/born-to-run.html
Sep 24, 2009. I just finished Born to Run. A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen. And it is one of the best books I've read in a long, long time! Because it has great stories (and stories within stories within stories.), lovely characters and great science that links humanity and running. But I was really fascinated by two things. First, by what the human body can achieve. The book follows ultra-marathoners who run 50-150 mile races!

89 seasons: Three Laws of Performance
http://89seasons.blogspot.com/2009/09/three-laws-of-performance.html
Sep 26, 2009. Three Laws of Performance. I finished reading The Three Laws of Performance. A few months back. I'm pretty sure that its an amazing book, but the concepts were a bit hard to understand. So I'll need to read it again to be able to explain what's going on in it. (That's why I didn't take any notes on it - or maybe I was just lazy :) Anyway, here are the 3 laws (which in the book are illustrated with some amazing stories):. How people perform coorelates to how situations occur to them.
