LESSONS ABOUT LIFE

Now that Steve Jobs resigned from the post of Apple's CEO, one more reason to listen attentively to what he has to say on life.

MENTAL HEALTH AND LEADERSHIP

Dr. Nassir Ghaemi, psychiatrist, published a book about the links between leadership capacities and the mental health ("A first rate madness").

I still didn't read the book but in the meantime we can have a hint by reading his blog:
