But the other reason for e books (sometimes, only sometimes) is the quality of the pictures. I discovered an e book full of fabulous pictures--and then also discovered that I was REALLY late to this party. (The second thing.) Humans of New York Published over a year ago, and based on a very successful blog of the same name (HONY Blog), it is simply stunning. The blog is about stories of all kinds of people in all kinds of places throughout New York, while the book is more about the photos. And the photos are really magical electronically--total eye candy. Humans in all their diverse, messy, surprising and inspiring glory--and some really fab clothes! Dip into it when you are losing faith in humankind. Its definitely on my "to buy" list.
“I invented a country called Manizao. It’s between India and China. The president is a girl named Mahava and she lives in a little red house that looks like The White House but it’s little and it’s red. And there are lots of beaches. My friend lives on one of the beaches. He’s a bird but he’s also a builder. He lives in a house that he built that is half beach house and half real house. I don’t know how he did it, but I think he glued them together. And kinda everywhere you look there is a restaurant. The most popular restaurant is called Savory Hello. Everyone in Manizao loves Savory Hello because they only serve savory things.” From Humans of New York blog, April 1, 2015 entry.
And not quite so late to the party, I am a big Pope Francis fan. Here is what he has to say on leadership, as interpreted through the Harvard Business Review: The 15 Diseases of Leadership
