All of these are new to me. I'm super intrigued by the Athena Doctrine. Having read a bit of Greek mythology and studied the Odyssey back in college, I've always been fascinated by the character of Athena "bright eyes." Also interested to read "Start," as our workplaces are permeated by procrastination and spending far too much time on things that don't really matter.
