I own both: the original hard-cover copy in English and the soft-cover in VIETNAMESE.

I found this beautiful combination of East and West from Christine Comaford-Lynch's books engaging and electrifying. Strange but feel like home, I found myself showing up a lot in this little powerful energy booster.

The amazing thing is not in the book itself: For the last 4 weeks I have been following Christine's guidance through email, blog, Business Renegades on Facebook, Tweeter, AskChristine, MightyVentures, you name it. I've been taking one small step after another to discover a NEW Entrepreneur in me.

Surprisingly, it's not overwhelming, at all. I feel, well, so FREE.

That said, this is definitely one of the strangest business books I've read in a long time - and this is the genre I read about 95% of the time. About half way through the book I was saying to my friends "can you believe she's writing about sleeping with Bill Gates in this book?" - but you know what, I was talking about it, I was creating buzz for the book and I certainly couldn't put it down. I don't know if you'd describe the author Christine as likeable, nor would I say she's trying to be: she's flawed, but she knows it (and aren't we all), she's a character (wait a minute, she's a monk, a geisha, a burnout, a tech-head, an investor, an entrepreneur - make that she's multiple characters), but by the end of the book I really connected with the message that she was trying to put out. Interesting and slightly shocking reading, definitely not predictable.
