In shadow I saw the dry hills more clearly. 'A sole cloud drifted like a balloon the sun blinked.

She reported the rape a few weeks later, but a mediator found her report inconclusive Highly recommended for any senior leader.Life-altering moment: The writer wrote that that she was sexually assaulted on her her second day at Colorado College. He makes several references to Andy Grove’s High Output Management which also sounds great. They make tons of mistakes and must continually adapt their skills and role. He talks about things like culture, company politics, the differences between peacetime and wartime CEOs, and common predicaments that well meaning CEOs get themselves into. Every company needs a CEO – but there’s no such thing as a perfect CEO. Horowitz instead offers advice on how to frame problems. That’s the hard thing about hard things – there’s no right answers. Good leaders are hard to find because they have to know so much (including their limits) that just isn’t known. Everything he states is so incredibly obvious, yet so easily missed. It’s a fast paced book with lots of lessons. Horowitz takes you through his experiences starting with Netscape and ending with A16z (Andreessen Horowitz). I read a lot of management books, but most of them are written by those people that crowd around craps tables because they can tell who’s good at throwing dice. The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz. There were some good plot twists, and it’s generally well regarded. I did finish it, but unsure anyone else should.

Mare Barrow, 17, is a Red – the bottom of society, and through a strange set of events becomes a Silver – royalty. I did enjoy the book, and wanted more as I suspect her real story begins after the hike. Parker puts a lot of blame on her mom, but that’s also part of that age. Realistically that’s part of being so young. I’ve had similar frustration to some of the decisions and conclusions my sons reach. At first, I didn’t like young Parker because of her consistent ability to make bad decisions. Her transition took all of California and Oregon until a confident young woman emerged in Washington with a new name. Parker used the PCT to heal herself after being raped as a college freshman. Girl in the Woods is similar, but totally different. It actually scooped Dorothy Parker’s journey that occurred a few years before it. Wild got much more attention (and a movie) than Girl in the Woods.

I enjoyed the movie Wild which is about about a woman in her 40s that turns to the 2650 mile hike of Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) to sort out the loss of her mother, her divorce, and life in general. Enterprise Communications books Books Feb 2017 Girl in the Woods +2 Maby Dave Michels
