Summer Reading

Between vacations, travel, and weekend afternoons by the pool my guess is you’re planning to pick up a book or two this summer. The perfect nonfiction book will inspire you to grow your business, teach you something new, give you new ideas, and be enjoyable to read. I have compiled a list of some of the nonfiction books I recommend most often. (Books have Amazon Affiliate links; authors’ names are linked to blogs.)

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? or Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin

Switch: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Fail by Dan Heath & Chip Heath

Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk

Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith

The Tipping Point and/or Outliers: The Story Of Success by Malcolm Gladwell

Good To Great – Why Some Companies Make The Leap… And Others Don’t by Jim Collins

And for something not [directly] related to business but very excellent: A Patriot’s History of the United States: From Columbus’s Great Discovery to the War on Terror

I may post my favorite fiction later,  but in the meantime make sure to check out #fridayreads on Twitter!
