Seagull Management Voice of the DBA

    • Technology

Last year, I read Surrender, a book by U2 lead singer, Bono. Bill Gates listed this as one of the top books to read at one point, so I picked it up and dove in. I have enjoyed U2s music since I was in high school, and was interested to hear what made Bill Gates recommend his book. The book is partially a journey of U2, but mostly a look at how Bono's view of the world and life has changed over time.
Bono grew beyond music in his life to become an activist and try to shape the world into a better place. Whether you agree with his efforts or focus or not, it's admirable that he has tried to be more than a rich and famous singer. He's had to build more skills around how to communicate with others, convince them to take a course of action, and educate himself about the world. In trying to build these skills, he's founded or worked in organizations around his time with U2.
