Read Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" on some insight on randomness, chance and (unlikely) success. For making a living, there are less esoteric ways of doing it, and for that I direct you to Tim Ferris' "The Four Our Work Week" (I have not read his latest book). For those who try to break in an industry, I recommend "Crossing the Chasm," which may be of great interest to you Brian, and may help push your product through. On a related note, "The Rebel Sell" (no spelling error) was an amazing book, written by the critics of also a decent book: "No Logo." OK, back to work.
