Do the Work by Steven Pressfield

"Do the Work" is another book by Steven Pressfield. This book was not as indepth as I was expecting.  Providing the boost necessary to accomplish that one dream or thing you wanted to do, this book gives you a simplified outline of how to do so.  I read this book because it was the book assigned for my virtual book club via Twitter and Facebook (#truthchat).  Unfortunately, this book lacked a lot of necessary substance I feel is necessary to get across the point Pressfield was trying to make. However, it was well worth the purchase amount. It was free on Amazon.com, sponsored by the Domino Project.  Even though I wasn't fully impressed, I did highlight a lot of quotes. This book is definitely a "sticky note" book.

Hope on a Tightrope: Words & Wisdom by Cornel West

Having heard about Cornel West and following him on Twitter, I was interested in reading his latest book, Hope on a Tightrope: Words & Wisdom. Being the first book to read by him, Hope on a Tightrope, is broken into various chapters, which focus on specific topics.  West identifies problem(s) in the United States, regarding each topic, especially as it affects the African-American community, presents his philosophy about the topic, and suggests numerous solutions to solve the problem(s).  Remembering that philosophy is a relative subject, I was able to take my own beliefs and compare/contrast them to his. Often times, my beliefs do not coincide with his, but I can see his logic behind his philosophy. Being a very thought-provoking book, book clubs, focusing on philosophical books, may want to consider this book because of the potential of very good discussions. Overall, I enjoyed this book, and I would definitely consider reading it again.
