Reality Check: The Irreverent Guide to Outsmarting, Outmanaging, and Outmarketing Your Competition by Guy Kawasaki. This one took a long time to finish, but not because it’s a big book. It took a long time because it’s filled with bite-sized wisdom and I made a point to read just one or two pieces a day (the book’s organized to make that easy) and digest before moving on to the next. This one will stay on your shelves as reference for a long time to come.
