A brief synopsis of Breaking Ground: In the first half of the book, Libeskind more-or-less says - Hi, I'm Danny and I am all-round brilliant, my mother was a genius, my wife is a genius and my ancestors were great heroes. The world needs me and deserves my greatness. - In the second half of the book, Daniel seems to suggest that all other architects are barely talented enough to design toilets; that many clients are ignorant philistines; that Germans are stupid, and, that Museum Directors / clients are not worthy of his talent. He wraps up suggesting that life has taught him a lot and, with a bit of effort, you (the reader) could learn from and be like him. - After reading this book I was happy to accept that I'm completely unlike him.
