The book about books - Leaderships?

How do you choose a book to read? Do you just randomly pick one up and go on reading or does it take more than just a pretty picture on the cover?

I strongly believe that people need to be lead. There is a strong need to be told what to do and if that doesn't happen, we are totaly clueless of what is expected from us. Mondays reverse workshop was a excellent example of that.

Not being lead is a terrible feeling. First you try to act normal, tough you don't have the slightest idea, and that goes fine for sometime, but when someone asks for you to do something you hit your first bump. Second feeling that you might have is frustration. And after that come anger, and if your not used to feeling thise feeling they might overwhelm you. Before you can approve them.

But why am I jabbering about feeling. Well, feeling are the things that lead us, and you don't pick a book to read if you don't have a good feeling about it. And where do you seek guidance in a big liberary? Thank God we have YPK! YPK or yrittäjän parhaat kirjat by Johannes Partanen, as it's full name goes, is a book about books. It gives you a great help when ever you need to find an interesting book to read. It truely is the best books in one place.

But, and there always is a but, this book is only one way that the author is trying to lead us. He is choosing his favorite books and only his opinion is printed on the pages. He has created a tribe. Tribe that wants to read the same books that he has read. Tribe that wants to know what he thinks about the books. And also a tribe that wants to get studypoints and pass courses.

I, myself, am a follower of this tribe. And I find myself often contemplating the books and what Partanen has written about them and did I find the same good stuff that he had found, and what kind of discussions we might have on the matter if we ever were to meet. Strong feelings that make me take action and read books something that I've hated in the past.

Books:
Tiimiyrittäjän & tiimivalmentajan parhaat kirjat; Johannes Partanen; 2011.
Tribes, we need you to lead us; Seth Godin; 2008.

Now, if you have had the patience to finish, here is something to make you feel good (if you're on this tribe!)  Hope the link works!
