Tipping Points and 4-Hour Work Weeks

I'm a big reader. Usually, though, I like to loose myself in historical novels or travel memoirs.

My most recent past two reads, however, don't fit either of these categories.

They have, instead, given me lots to think about and set my brain to spinning.

I finished the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell.

Then I promptly moved on to Four-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris.

Both are shelved in the "business" section of a bookstore, and while I see how each of them is indeed a "business" book, I'd also say that each is a "lifestyle" book. Each one offers a bold, daring, new way to approach the world.

Now, if only I could figure out how to spark a tipping point in my life that would allow me and hubby to live well without working ourselves to death.

And I also can't stop wondering what I am ... a connector? a maven? a salesman?

If you're read the Tipping Point, then you know of what I speak.

I'm definitely not the salesman, but perhaps I am a little bit of a maven?

Basically ... a hoarder of information on whatever topic it is that interests you.

But it also goes one step beyond. The maven will then also share his/her advice on said topic.
