Free book summary via WashPost/getAbstract (registration req.): 'Leadership in the Era of Economic Uncertainty'

This is a new weekly feature in the Post-- summaries of leadership books via getAbstract.com.

This week's book is "Leadership in the Era of Economic Uncertainty" by Ram Charan. On the Post page you'll find a review of the book by getAbstract chairman Rolf Dobelli, and a link at the bottom leads to a free 2,500-word summary of the book at getAbstract.

You'll need to to give getAbstract your e-mail address since they mail the summary... and undoubtedly are building a mailing list. But it sounds like a list I wouldn't mind giving my disposable e-mail address to... You can learn a lot about a book in 2,500 words.

Enlightening article if you design menus, or order from them! How restaurants entice us - Menu design secrets - (The Guardian)

I've designed a few menus in my time, but had obviously not learned the Jedi mind tricks that the masters use. Time to study up... but will it mean using the Dark Side of the Force?

Beatles Infographics (via @Guy_Kawasaki, then via @Alyssa_Milano)

Fantastic infographics, fun for Beatles fans (like me) and infographics fans (me again).

I'll definitely be exploring this Flickr group. If I only had another 20 hours in my day, I might be contributing something... But these guys seem to have it more than covered.

(And no, I'm not joking about the retweet chain...)
