I too have really enjoyed it and was working on starting my own book talk with others when your invite came. If it is alright with you I will refer them here to talk about this book. I am not really sure where you are in talking about this book, so I will start at the beginning. One of the first things I enjoyed about the book is the quote from Irvin Berlin which says, "The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in business. You've got to keep working that talent." Often times I have wondered why it is that those who appear have no talent in an area can end up passing those who have it all. I think I now understand a little more. It is kind of like a Rocky movie. In one of those movies he had it all and began to get lazy, then he had to create the eye of the tiger again and become hungry. How hungry are we for using what God has given us? That is what I had asked over on my blog site as well. Are we being good stewards of using what God has given to us? This is sometimes a hard question for me to answer. I thank you for posting on my blog an invite to join your discussion on this book.

I played flute & piccolo myself. I remember well the megaphone pep talks that were supposed to make me remember which yard line I was supposed to be on at measure 18 in the music... :-) I don't have the book so I look forward to your insight!
