- 10 Fictional Places We’d Love To VisitArticle
For many people, Wonderland is the ultimate fictional place. It’s a place where anything is possible, and it’s a great escape from reality. It would be amazing to be able to visit Wonderland and experience all of the magic and absurdity for ourselves.

Somehow, the children’s version of The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow comes to me. Also Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I’m not sure which was first – it was a long time ago.

Four brilliant books by Jim Collins: Good to Great, Great by Choice, Built to Last, How the Mighty Fall. The Balanced Scorecard by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton was a huge revelation to me in the 1990’s. I continue to take lessons from Start With Why by Simon Sinek and Key Persons of Influence by Daniel…
