Sean Wise is a venture capitalist business expert and a comic book geek. His book ties these roles together. As many geeks know, comics are about a lot more than spandex-clad warriors throwing punches. "How To Be A Business Superhero" is about incorporating those underlying lessons into real life business strategies. In this book, Wise discusses:
*How to use your unique talents to succeed in business
*What we can learn from superheroes about overcoming challenges
*Where villains fail, and how we can avoid their mistakes
Oh, and on page 14-15, there happens to be an exact description of the fully integrated progeek.
This book is an easy read. Although Wise bases his stories on superhero story worlds, he was also so kind as to include a quick intro of each character for the uninitiated. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little guidance in upgrading their career.* One need not be a geek to understand it, but a fan of superhero comics may benefit a little bit more.
*As early as the introduction, Wise separates the mundanes from the progeeks, noting that he's writing for those who pursue improvement and integrity.
