Finally, it should also benefit the odd CxO from your organization (or your father-in-law) who presently dismisses blogs as something only college kids and geeks indulge in.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I am refraining from posting any excerpts from it as it would spoil the joy of going through the complete book &#8211; the way it was intended to be.&nbsp; If you&#8217;re a blogger already, you&#8217;ll thoroughly enjoy going through this little treasure.
