A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

Here is a break from the business books and a look at something I have enjoyed for more personal reasons. Donald Miller asks whether our daily choices are creating a life that makes a good story. He uses his own life to explore purpose, risk, relationships, and change. I like it for the times when being very busy has started to feel a little too much like moving forward. Founders may see themselves in that problem, since a company can quietly take over the life it was meant to support. The book is warm, honest, and a good reminder that a sellable business should create choices rather than swallow them.
