How’s hip-hop similar to Zingerman’s?

Russell Simmons, known as a hip-hop media mogul, has written a book, “Do You!”, that focuses on Laws that he has discovered in his life that “access the power in you to achieve happiness and success.” We’re talking one of those books that goes through and illustrates basic laws of the universe with personal stories and thoughtful prose.

What I found particular interesting about Russell’s book is that he comes from a cultural background that I have no familiarity with and that his laws are many of the ones I live with and that I believe Zingerman’s does a good job communicating to staff. What really worked for me is that he comes from a position of humility and allows that people will come with different experiences.

I’d recommend this book for anyone who wants to think entrepreneurally (is that a word?) or even take control of their lives. It’s good advice written in an accessible and lively way.
