One of the best books I have ever read. Inspiring, insightful, and relentlessly entertaining. Team of Rivals ignited my passion for history. This should be required reading for every American politician, especially presidents. The first 150 pages are a bit slow due to their desultory treatment of Lincoln's cabinet, and aren't as strong as the rest of the book (600 more pages!), but that's the only critical comment I can think of. Even the copy editing was impeccable.

This is one of the most important and inspiring books I've ever read. It could have used a better editor (the first and last 40 pages are the real meat). And more detail about how to bring these ideas into the real world would have been nice. But I think Yunus knows he can't possibly have all the answers. I saw this book as his attempt to inspire younger generations to pursue change in creative ways, while providing a broad framework (social business) which has a good chance of becoming THE driving organizational paradigm of the 21st century.

That such an influential global figure had the courage to dream society-transforming dreams and share them with the world is a rare treat at a time when the "theology of capitalism" is so unquestioned in our mainstream discourse.

Clearly written and provocative. Not as ground-breaking as it was 9 years ago, but still a must-read for anyone interested in the impact of media on the individual. Rushkoff's call for media literacy courses in public schools is as relevant as ever.

If you want to ignite your imagination around the possibilities, and pitfalls, of human life on Earth, THIS is the book.

Sam Harris is an angry man, prone to bigotry and blanket statements. But he makes some strong points.
