**Voyno** and **Hoover** are authors of the fantastic blog **[The New Rockstar Philosophy](http://www.newrockstarphilosophy.com/?ref=hypebot.com)** and [book](http://www.newrockstarphilosophy.com/?page%5Fid=3040&ref=hypebot.com) by the same name, one you should also consider adding to your summer reading list.

Here at **Hypebot**, we are rolling  
out our summer reading lists, written by some of the  
leading thinkers in the industry. If you happen to be in that crowd, **[email me](mailto:kyle.bylin@gmail.com)** 
**five of your picks** and reasons why the music industry should be  
reading them.

**Here's Voyno**:

**[You Are Not A Gadget](http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Not-Gadget-Manifesto/dp/0307269647/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280116646&sr=8-1&ref=hypebot.com)** by **Jaron Lanier** 

A book that challenges your thinking about many digital tenants. It's a little high brow, but worth your time. 

**[The 4-Hour Workweek](http://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Expanded-Updated-Cutting-Edge/dp/0307465357/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280116676&sr=1-1&ref=hypebot.com)** by **Timothy Ferriss**

A classic already, and a great way to get you thinking about how you can free up more time to make music.

**[Chronicles: Volume One](http://www.amazon.com/Chronicles-One-Bob-Dylan/dp/0743244583/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280116731&sr=1-1&ref=hypebot.com)** by **Bob Dylan**

Read this with a pen. Circle, underline, and re-read the brilliant truth bombs from the best songwriter of all time. 

**[The Inner Game of Tennis](http://www.amazon.com/Inner-Game-Tennis-Classic-Performance/dp/0679778314/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280116794&sr=1-1&ref=hypebot.com)** by **W. Timothy Gallwey**

A pick for songwriters, and performers. I'm not finished yet but already it's helping to "get out of the way" of the creative process. . . also my overhand serve has never been better.

**Here's Hoover**:

**[The Art of Happiness](http://www.amazon.com/Art-Happiness-10th-Anniversary-Handbook/dp/1594488894/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280116907&sr=1-1&ref=hypebot.com)** by **Dalai Lama**

We all need to assess our happiness levels and more importantly find out what makes us truly happy.

**[Rework](http://www.amazon.com/Rework-Jason-Fried/dp/0307463745/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280116985&sr=1-1&ref=hypebot.com)** by **Jason Fried**, and **David Heinemeier Hansson**

I haven't started this one yet, but keep hearing great things it. 

**[Walden](http://www.amazon.com/Walden-Henry-David-Thoreau/dp/0980060532/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280117044&sr=1-1&ref=hypebot.com)** by **Henry David Thoreau** 

Want to know his perspective on the virtues of simplicity.

**[Sweet Soul Music](http://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Soul-Music-Southern-Freedom/dp/0316332739/ref=sr%5F1%5F1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280117096&sr=1-1&ref=hypebot.com)** by **Peter Guralnick**

Book on 60's soul music. I'm big into that and love learning about the artists involved.
