A Life-Changing Must Read!!! Jul 27, 2009
If you, as I, have always stopped short of beginning a personal journal, not fully understanding how liberating it can be, you must read this book. Julie Wainwright allows us to perch on her shoulder as she explores her life thus far, achieving a depth of understanding that seems impossible in such a small volume. Her insights into her private and sometimes very public failures are courageously shared. Humor, honesty and hope shine as the metallic threads in this fabric of her being and we are left understanding what true strength of character means.

Must Read!!! Jul 27, 2009
Reboot: 'My Five Life-Changing Mistakes...and How I Moved On' is a MUST READ!! This concise book written in a very personal style is easy to read, straight forward and honest. I felt like I was there with Julie as she worked her way through some very difficult life transitions leading to self-discovery, self-growth and a renewed sense of strength and optimism.

Inspirational and open Jul 23, 2009
This book is short but just fantastic-- it's a brief look at Julie Wainwright's ups and downs in the Internet biz, and how those dovetail with what was going on in her personal life (the collapse of [...] and her marriage happened all on the same day... crazy). In the book, she walks you through her childhood (the "casserole rating system" is pretty funny), fast-forwards to her experience in the original Internet boom and subsequent bust, and how she rose from the ashes. It's pretty personal and revealing; Julie lays it all out there. I found her voice to be extremely honest and authentic, and ultimately, the book's pretty inspirational.

Great Book to Lift You Up Jun 04, 2009
Only 79 pages, but a great read. Will inspire you. If you're in the dumps - lost your job, failed startup, etc. - this book will help you see some of the mistakes you may be making that keep you down. Enjoy.

Big things from a small package! May 30, 2009
I read Re-Boot in an afternoon using the Kindle reader on my iPhone. My only disappointment was how quickly it ended! But there's a whole lot of good stuff in this little book. One of the most visible players in the early days of the revolution in Internet commerce, Wainwright tells a story that hasn't previously been told properly. And then, after baring her deepest scars resulting from the crash, she steps right up and tells us how she fixed the problems! Her conversational writing style and vividly descriptive prose made me feel like I was right there with her while it was happening, and her plain-spoken description of her home-grown remedies had me stopped cold more than once. If you were gonna read a magazine or a newspaper this afternoon, get this book instead. Put it on your iPhone. You'll blaze through it, and be really happy that you did.
