Reboot

Reboot is not just a book, its a mindset I was introduced to when I first met Jawwad. A mindset with a dangerously high viral load, so be aware.

In Fall 2003, I took a fateful course that didn’t quite change the course of my life (much to the disappointment of my instructor), but did radically rewire my perspective. From the course outline, Bootstrapping New Ventures seemed like an innocuous course taught by a mild-mannered instructor, just like Reboot sounds like a mild bed time read written by a chubby, geeky 30-something author. Except the chubby, geeky 30-something part, you’d be wrong on all counts. Yes, the book is as engaging as the course, but no milder than the instructor who brazenly shouted a certain four letter word in class, and unembarrassed, continued on.

If you’re in college or if you’re ten years into your plumbing career, feeling uninspired, edging towards a quarter life crisis, one thing I’ll guarantee is that Reboot will inspire you. Sometimes it takes a story of failure to jolt you out of your golden hand-cuffs.
