I have collected the best of last 52 weeks and created a flip book magazine. The flip book is available from http://flip.it/wpH7d. This has articles on Leadership, Story Telling, Brain Pickings frankly the find of my last year, Interesting Ted Videos, Management, Innovation and some fun stuff interspersed. To be true to the name of the magazine I have not included any of my original articles though statistically it had higher hits in my blog!!. I am positive some of the articles, videos shall be thought provoking and insightful.I have benefited from the compilation and I hope you find it beneficial to you as well. The link reads better on the flip board app. Please feel free to pass on the link.
