How Pleasure Works
Paul Bloom | 2011 | Education, Philosophy, Psychology & Social Sciences

Book Favorite

"Like artists of all stripes, I have attempted to analyze and justify my practice. The creative life, at its best, elucidates and thrives within pleasure, its absence, its expectation, and its promise. Bloom’s book isn’t a how-to on life, but rather a cold disciplined stare into the machinery of pleasure as it relates to human consciousness."

Book Favorite

"In the very beginning, I used Jim Collins’ book Built to Last to figure out my core values. And then I gave those core values to everyone I worked with: Atlantic Records, CoverGirl, etc., and as I embarked on new creative projects or business partnerships, I weighed my core values and the proposed opportunity and I decided accordingly."

The Greedy Bastard Diary: A Comic Tour of America
The Greedy Bastard Diary: A Comic Tour of America
Eric Idle | 2014 | Humor & Comedy

Book Favorite

"An alternative autobiography by Monty Python’s most creative member, Eric Idle. An honest and close to the bone review of his life penned traveling on a tour bus, crisscrossing North America. The Greedy Bastard turns out to be warm hearted, loving and highly intelligent. Would that all writers had his hunger for knowledge and wit in parody".
