Skin in the Game

The rate of fresh insight that NNT delivers means you can't lose focus for a second lest you lose one. I really loved the first half of this book. It's not meant to educate so much as to be a vehicle for the authors prodigious intellect. He never stops for a second to explain a term which is a little frustrating sometimes as his self-expressor vs other-educator ratio makes him feel somewhat arrogant sometimes. I loved the premise of the book around the significance of “skin in the game” which is such an important concept that is paid much too little attention to in our culture. The later half of the book I found less engaging. I would have liked to see the concept of SITG applied in different domains such as the all-important one of our own lives in which I feel people live as if they don't have skin in the game.
