Kanye West may not have made our Top 10 Most Creative People in the Music Biz list, but he's definitely a leader in the industry. He's proven himself as a rapper and record producer with three critically acclaimed albums (the verdict is still out on 808s & Heartbreak) and a record label called GOOD Music.

A tragic plane crash, a drug-addicted scion, a bitter lawsuit--these juicy ingredients should make for a tasty corporate drama. Alas, they don't, because the company is In-N-Out Burger, and seemingly nothing can derail the beloved purveyor of never-frozen burgers and hand-cut fries.

Why We Make Mistakes

Why We Make Mistakes turns a ton of academic research about how our brains can work against us into a string of cocktail-party nuggets about dum-dums.

Why write another book?

Generational issues, some might say, is a topic that’s been beaten to death. There are numerous books on the subject, and mine is one of many blogs out in cyberspace.

It is so simple but yet beautiful. It taps into the desire of
parents to keep everything their precious one does but without the
