Kawasaki should know, of course. He has a formidable résumé: author of eight other business books (including the best seller The Art of the Start), entrepreneur, venture capitalist and blogger who rose to fame at Apple. In his new book, Kawasaki takes the role of mentor and big brother to those in start-up mode or even restart mode.

Not to mention The Grapes of Wrath and Woody Guthrie. We'll need that kind of art during the very difficult economic times ahead of us. I am truly looking forward to an age of enlightenment...
