Curtis Schofield’s Reviews > Different: Escaping the Competitive Herd > Status Update

this book and chapter 14 of permaculture design manual is bringing me to understand that CO-OPERATION and NOT COMPETITION - is the key to migrating from derivative business strategies of our industrial revolution ancestors and towards a healthy and substantial, ethical and environmentally healthful business economy paradigm.

From 'Host and Hospitality' to 'Hostility' Youngme is gunning on the gauntlet of the modern marketing machine.

Insight after insight - changing the way I realize the market place - woke up this morning with a new image in my mind of interlocking rings and ven-diagrams of feature/inovation adoption and how companies like Sony (Walkman) and apple (iPod) transform the herd of cattle that are so many companies while at once being a part and at once being seperate - great teacher - amazing writer, much gratitude.

rare - it is a kind of practical gem that so often gets over looked in this world - the kind of book that i enjoy because it changes how i see the world and at the same time connects to a deep part of me that understands naturally what she is saying - a deep part - because what she is saying isn't spoken and the surface is often only what is represented. A+ Mindful reading
