amzn.to – Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else by Geoff Colvin amzn.to – Moonwalking With Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything by Joshua Foer Finished two good biz books recently that I wanted to share. Just by chance I happened to read and listen to them back to back, and it was interesting because even though they were on different topics, they referenced some of the same research and mined the same fields. First one is Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else by Geoff Colvin. The answer is hard work. The books states it’s not God given talent, but rather thousands of hours of deliberate practice that gets you there. It touches upon some of the same ideas that Malcom Gladwell’s Outliers goes over. Along the way it also pokes holes in the “god given talent” stories of such child prodigies as Mozart and Tiger Woods, showing how they had to put in the same hard work that everyone else does who wants to be a world class performer. Although at times the book seems to overstate it’s case, it’s an interesting read…or listen. Just as I was wrapping up that book I stumbled upon Moonwalking with Einstein The Art and Science of Remembering Everything by Josh Foer. It’s the true story of a journalist who stumbles upon the US Memory Championship. He’s fascinated by these people who can remember the order of every card in a random deck of cards in just a few minutes, or …

Review of She-Hulk #26.In this issue She-Hulk’s has some identity issues and is questioning whether or not she’s a hero. Spoiler Alert: She-Hulk gets her pants blasted off! We also review Marvel Zombies 2 #5. We’re not completely thrilled with the final issue of this series. It felt like the characters were a bit removed from their environment.

Comic Book Comics deals with the history of comic books in the form of a comic. It truly represents what a comic is all about and we think it’s really well done and a great read for beginners.

In the Speed Round we review Shadow Pact #22, The Flash #237, Immortal Iron Fist:One-Shot, Zorro #1, and The Spirit #14.

Honda Civic Hybrid. Honda introduced the first gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle to the American market in 1999, although the two-seat Honda Insight captured few buyers. But soon after that step, Honda took the hybrid vehicle concept to primetime in its hot-selling Civic line. Now a second-generation Honda Civic Hybrid has arrived, and it has improved upon its predecessor in every way possible. It looks better, rides better and offers much better integration between gasoline and electric propulsion. At the same time it is both more powerful and more efficient than the previous model and offers a feel much closer to its key rival, the Toyota Prius.

Welcome to our comprehensive Kelley Blue Book review of the Honda Civic Hybrid.

The Civic Hybrid is now capable of running on electric power only, but the most significant enhancements are in ride, handling, styling and comfort — improvements that have benefited the entire Civic lineup. For more new car reviews, interviews and automotive news visit http://www.kbb.com today.
