Brick by Brick by David Robertson and David Breen

Do you love Legos, are you in business, do you want to a real world case study of how a corporation is able to reinvent itself to become the best Toy company in the world?

If yes, this is the book for you.  It's such a great read, from reading tidbits about Lego history, it's products and how management was and is able to adjust with the time and to risks to grow the company.

Legos...plastic blocks that can form millions of combination based on your creativity...in today's world of internet, everything has to be fast, it's great that a company that cater to real physical play is not only thriving but kicking butt.  My kids love Legos and they play it day and night and most of all, I love they are able to use their creativity to create things from these square/rectangle blocks.

This book is a must read not only for Lego fans but business people.  Case study of how an organization took risks, failed, took them again.  How Lego is able to envision what it's products can do and capitalize on it and how you can never discount luck in your business.

Great book, good read.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review

The Buy Side by Turney Duff

When I think of Wall Street, I think of Gordon Gecko in the move Wall Street, I see where millions are made and lost each day, lives are changes, for the better or worse and a world that I can't even imagine.

I recently read the book The Buy Side by Turney Duff.

Here are some information about the author

I thought crazy things went on in Wall Street but boy, this book revealed even more than I imagine.

VB6...must read, actually it's a must cook book.

I have always been a fan of Mark Bittman.  His writing about cooking is very straight and clear, and there's no pretentious in his writing, whereas other cookbook authors there's this air of pretentious.  I first read about his VB6 concept in Outside magazine and I thought that was a very neat "diet".  I'm always trying to find how to better my nutrition and eat healthier, especially raising three kids and teaching them on how to eat healthy.  I was intrigued with Vegan Before 6 and wonder if that is doable and will my kids enjoy. When I saw this cookbook, I knew I have to read it and check it out.
