[QUOTE="mr-ed209, post: 262721, member: 14769"] I've been binging on a lot of the old ribbonfarm content since i read The Gervais Principle last year. Venkat's books, which are mainly a collection of his long form blog posts, have some great content regarding the philosophy of work and negating status battles in life etc. (Be Slightly Evil: Getting Ahead, Getting Along, Getting Away, Crash Early Crash Often) are 3 good reads. He touches on a lot of the new cultures of remote work and 'lifestyle design' - with a realistic frame. As well as presenting a lot of unorthodox advice and mindsets in how to find your appropriate career. What i like about his writing is it's one of the few sources on the workplace that seems appropriately cynical. There's no call of follow your dreams; or hard work and being a bastard will get you ahead. Instead, his theories are deliberately ammoral; which gives them a feeling of realism and truth. Some of his stuff is quite profound, but well worth a read for anyone contemplating where/how to go in their career/lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
