It's Not About the Tights" combines Jeff Goins' inspiration with the Zen-like simplicity of Leo Babuata mixed in with the fearlessness of Tim Ferris in a short, but incredibly effective dose of self-inspirationPros: Self-help goodness without all of the fluff delivered in Chris Brogan's style. Loved the links.Cons: Readers may or may not like the promotional posts for Brave New Year (slightly annoying, but not too annoying). Price of $4.99 may be a deterrent for some, but worth it to read, if you need the help (beats buying a print book!).As Chris Brogan mentions in the Introduction, the core message ("Go out and do stuff!") behind this book is not new or actually radical. The genius is in how Chris Brogan does this with simplicity and grace. Using only 60 or so pages, Chris Brogan condenses self-help into a collection of anecdotes, quotes, and simple strategies that everyone (no matter what their situation is) can do with nerdy, Buddhist-inspired goodness.It skips all of the fluff and gets to the point along with a laugh or two. I particularly like the CASE technique. When I read it, I immediately knew that I would practice something that was so simple, yet so effective when done right.This boo
