Most people will start thinking about networks as being friends or co-workers. I attended a course that made me think about how long I had been on this Earth and how many people I have really known. Age has some advantages.

I stumbled onto this post via LinkedIn, in my typical meandering way. I echo Chris’s comments! I teach business identity/communication for designers and have students read and digest “Never Eat Alone” (no pun intended). I’ve been wanting to find additional material - perhaps an alternate or supplemental book, and will be picking up this one based on your review. Thanks for this book report. I appreciate your insight, and look forward to reading the others.

So … does the fact that your other posts appeal to me prove that I am indeed (still) a nerd? I wear that badge with honor. I’m really enjoying working through your posts.

Cheers!
