Disrupted

Could you elaborate on the "gross things"? I read Disrupted and thought it was pretty funny/interesting and I've watched a few of Dan's talks and enjoyed them. A quick Google search didn't turn up anything about him recently though. I did sort of wonder how accurate some of this stories were about HubSpot, since you're only hearing his side of the story and the more sensational the stories the better the book...

So, not necessarily inspirational, and some kinda gross things came out about the author recently, but Disrupted by Dan Lyons was pretty good. It's about his time at HubSpot, which kinda seems like it was almost a parody of startup culture and drinking the Kool-Aid. He later went on to be a writer on Silicon Valley for seasons 2 & 3, and says he would pitch some things that actually happened, and get shot down because they were "too out there and unbelievable".

Reading The Meaning of Science by Tim Lewens right now. It's an introductory "Philosophy of Science" book, and I'm enjoying it so far. Up to where I'm at now, the author has covered Karl Popper and his falsification oriented framework, and Thomas Kuhn and the "scientific revolution / paradigm shift" model. A couple of other ones from this year that stand out to me: Disrupted by Dan "Fake Steve Jobs" Lyons It's Not The Big That Eat The Small, It's The Fast That Eat The Slow by Jason Jennings In terms of fiction, this years haul includes: The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King The Last Mile by David Baldacci
