I'm really glad you're adding this book to the curriculum. It contains a lot of good insights to be applied organizationally.

What books have inspired me lately? I'm slowly working through Covey's 7 Habits. Reading about 20 pages before I start working and thinking about how to apply it has been a great way to start my day and become more effective and disciplined.
