Thanks for all of the fantastic nominations, folks!! I’ve just spent the day compiling your nominations — and re-reading all of the posts I linked in “Sunday in Outer Blogness” over the past year to add my own nominations. There were so many great posts that I had a terrible…

I am a year late, but I just finished the book and it was great.
Well written with a fresh perspective- my only beef is with the ending, which is undoubtedly intended as ironic.
I highly recommend the book to all former mormons, or people who appreciate character development OR, most importantly, anyone who has had to sit through any business motivational speeches or training.
