A Kurt Vonnegut quote, by way of Derek Sivers via the "Tools of Titans:" "There's this beautiful Kurt Vonnegut quote that's just a throwaway line in the middle of one of his books, that says, "We are whatever we pretend to be."

What do you think of Tools of Titans? And that quote gets at something. For the aspirational among us, it speaks to the faking until making. But I don't know if the quote applies to the lazy or listless. Do they pretend to be anything?

It's fine as a coffee table book. It's not narrative, so it's not something I would suggest "reading" cover to cover. It's more of a "tool." -You can read on a topic, where you need assistance. It's a fine collection of anecdotes and suggestions/insights.
