I finished 2 books recently, and within them I found 2 gems. It just so happens they're similar...
Book #1 - Valentino Rossi's Autobiography
He's the Tiger Woods/Michael Jordan of motorcycle racing, and arguably even more dominant. Only interesting part in the book is his honda to yamaha story. While growing up, he often received riding tips from other people.
Gem - You need to fine tune your BS meter. Basically, when someone tells you something, you immediately determine if it's BS or not. If it's BS, you ignore it and optionally let them know it's BS. If it's not, then you absorb it and take appropriate action. Finally, trust your BS meter.
Book #2 - Michael Creighton's State of Fear
Fiction about bio-terrorism and environmentalists. Story was decent. ending was lame and predictable.
Gem - Most information you receive come from sources that have an agenda (news, politicians, etc.). Your BS meter should tell you if the information is "agenda free", or it is information with "an agenda". You will then know what to do with that information. On the other hand, do you have an agenda? If people think you have an agenda when you actually don't, then perhaps they are the ones with agendas. Comprende?
