Why is a small book called Jonathan Livingstone seagull so attractive. It only writes about a bird who flies and flies up and up against the howls of his own kind and enjoys the process.It is reminiscent of the Old man and the sea which went so existential. But why is this more in management than in existential literature?
This is interesting. Perhaps it has no pretentions as to existential rather it comes about as a neat little book that can be read at a single stretch.
Nevertheless it falls into the positive thinking genre without telling as much. Instead of Peale's examples such as a famous psychologist told which smacks of non varifiability, this book is fictional so much that even an extraction of positive meaning could be disputed. Perhaps more so like Ayn Rand also writing of struggles and struggles and not giving up.
Well, not giving up becomes second nature given exposure to such books and hence the influence on me of Richard Bach.
