I think this one is pretty well known already, so not much that I can add. But I thought it deserved a thread for discussion here.

Great book but I think this one is even better (although I rec reading both, preferably back to back)...

@ AAOI.. thanks for book recommendation.. i'll be purchasing it tonight.. from the reviews on Amazon, readers are suggesting that its a highly educational book and i'll definitely review it when i'm done with it!

One thing I would recommend to people considering reading this book (or who have already read it) is to keep in mind the halo effect:

And make sure that these champions are doing well because of certain characteristics, and not that these positive characteristics are imputed to them because they're doing well. Getting the causality right is very hard.
