Hi John ! Great comment . Napoleon Hill is one of those often quoted that it must be good. Bob Practor I have not read it yet but going on my list! My favourite of that era is Dale Carnegie (How to make friends and influence people) which is still hugely applicable today!
Another concept of Kevin Kelly is techno - literacy which I can't find a good explanation or description of. I agree with the premise of the concept and that it will be important but how does one become techno literate ? I don't buy the argument that everyone needs to learn to program, that's like asking a driver to refurbish their engine to be able to use it. I'll follow and check out your posts for sure!
Yes how to win friends and influence people is a great book and those concepts will never change. We really need to talk more often seen like your on the right path.
