Kevin Kelly weighs in on Free
Book Review by Porchlight
The brilliant Kevin Kelly, author of Out of Control: The New Biolgy of Machines, Social Systems, & the Economic World and founder of Cool Tools, offered his take on Chris Anderson's Free: The Future of a Radical Price earlier this week. Somewhat coincidentally, Kevin Kelly is the author of a recent and popular ChangeThis manifesto entitled Better Than Free. And, though that title might suggest a momentous throwing down with Chris Anderson, Gladwell style, maybe even resorting to fisticuffs, it it no such thing.

International Best Sellers for June
Book Review by Porchlight
Yes, Spring has come and gone and now the lazy days of summer lie ahead. For some anyway. While many go on vacation (perhaps to a Six Flags for a new coaster ride or two) others are still reading away during the hot months of the year.

The Accidental Billionaires - Released Today
By Porchlight
The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal was released today by Doubleday, and its author has written briefly about it at Gloria McDonough-Taub's Bullish on Books blog. From Ben's post: The revolution is here, and it didn't begin with gunfire or bomb blasts - it began with a Status Update. The world as we know it has changed, forever (and in my opinion for the better) and nobody could have foreseen how this revolution was going to go down - not even the group of brilliant, socially awkward kids who made it happen.

An Excerpt from Womenomics
By Porchlight
Guilt Bashers by Claire Shipman & Katty Kay, Guilt is a sneaky emotion. Unlike anger, love, or sorrow, it has an ability to work behind the scenes without your really noticing. This means that you first need to identify that it's actually there—that the undercurrent of emotion behind this flurry of negative, self-blaming thought is guilt.
