Books

Here are some of the books I recommend.  I’ve learned a tremendous amount from reading these books and I always appreciate hearing what other people read, so I thought I’d put up my favorites for anyone interested.

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us (amazing book for anyone that wants to create a work environment to help their staff reach their full potential)

Delivering Happiness (great story of Tony Hsieh’s journey with LinkExchange and Zappos.com)

Founders at Work: Stories of Startups’ Early Days (the best startup book I’ve ever read)

Truth About Email Marketing, The (by my good friend @simmsjenkins)

The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything (a must read by Guy)

Wisdom For A Young CEO (great collection of letters by established CEO’s on advice for the entrepreneur)

Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies (suggested by @stanrapp)

Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game (this book will make you think differently, I guarantee)

I Feel Great and You Will Too! by Pat Croce.  If you want to start being a more positive person, this is the book for you.

    Suggest you add — “groundswell — winning in a world transformed by social technologies.” Loaded with case studies. Very well written by two Forrester Research principals.

    I noticed you liked Seth Godin’s Poke the Box so I assume you read Linchpin as well. If you didn’t read it. It changed me life and woke me up to the realities of work in the 21st century.

    Thanks Tod, I did reach Linchpin and probably need to add it to this list as well…
