Really interesting. I was especially interested in Isaacson's discussion of different types of intelligences as he talked about Bill Clinton and then Bill Gates.

I love Walter Isaacson, but I did not love this book. It is a collection of his previous essays, and many of the stories repeat themselves. There are a couple great essays on Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, but overall, I would stick with Isaacson's biographies (which are really, really great).
