Recently, I've watched several videos of Tim Sanders, the Chief Solutions Officer of Yahoo! They are pretty inspiring. So, I finally got around to reading one of his books, Love is the Killer App.
The book is a quick and easy read packed with a lot of good stuff. The basis of the book is to help you succeed in business by becoming a "lovecat". He then narrows his focus on how to become a lovecat through gaining knowledge, building a network, and showing compassion.
I particularly enjoyed the chapter on "Knowledge". Basically, it was 50 pages of why & how you should be reading a long with what you should be reading. If you aren't reading a lot right now, Tim Sanders does a great job of convincing you that you should. If you want to get anywhere, you have to be a reader. In fact, Sanders says "Don't let a guy like me, get a step up on you." He is referring to the knowledge he gains from reading. He atrributes a lot of his success to books and implies that if everyone else was reading like he was, he might not be the same success. It made me think.
