Being online can distract and pull you in so many directions  - new articles, new gurus, new thinking - that you can forget to return to equally, if not more important learnings from the masters.

With the over abundance of information coming via social media, I’ve had a real nostalgia for true learning from experts in their field who arrived there after many years of experience and achievement.

Several interesting articles and authors I’m learning from

• Harvard Business Review April 09 exceptional article by John Quelch on How to Market in a Downturn
• Back in 2002 David Maister looked at How to Restore Optimism in a Down Period

This article by Carl Bialik from the Wall Street Journal also gives a nice cynical perspective of the whole false guru thing as a result of our trust in rankings and lists.
