What We're Saying
Have we mentioned that we have this book coming out? About business books, perhaps? Like, this week? READ FULL DESCRIPTION
Just a quick note to let you know we're all back in town, ready for a new season of business books. Our launch party in NYC was a great success (thanks to all who joined us! ), and we are looking forward to Jack and Todd's book coming out next week. READ FULL DESCRIPTION
This morning, we had an inauguration of our own at 800-CEO-READ. Todd Sattersten was sworn in as President over Gitomer's Sales Bible. He uttered these words: "I do solemnly swear that I, Todd Sattersten, will faithfully execute the Office of President of the 800-CEO-READ, and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, defend, and move forward the dignity of Business Book selling and promoting great ideas.

Jack and I have this book coming out. You might have heard about it :) The 100 Best Business Books of All Time hits shelves February 5th, a mere 29 days from now (not that anyone is counting). We have a lot of things planned as we run up to the launch. READ FULL DESCRIPTION
2010 was, for 800-CEO-READ, a year of stability, growth and redesign. Not everyone nor every company is so lucky as to say the same about the past year, but after the chaos, both internally and externally, of 2008-09, we count ourselves lucky that we close the year in a celebratory mood. Some highlights and happenings from 2010: January: We celebrated the winners of the annual 800-CEO-READ business book awards and other industry folks at a party in NYC. READ FULL DESCRIPTION
In 1997, Sebastian Junger wrote a great book called The Perfect Storm. The phrase, “a perfect storm” is used when multiple things come together to create an extraordinary experience. That thought fleeted through my mind last night as I sat reading Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom, because, including Freedom, I’m actually reading three brilliant books in three rather different genres.

Jack Covert and Todd Sattersten's book, The 100 Best Business Books of All Time: What They Say, Why They Matter, And How They Can Help You was published by Portfolio last year.

Every month, Penguin/Portfolio posts a new free podcast that you can download from iTunes or listen to on their site called The Business Beat. It was exciting news to hear that The Business Beat was featured in USA TODAY’s “Watch, Listen and Read” column today--it’s on 6B of the Money section, if you have a paper copy on hand--, not only because we love the work that Portfolio does with its business books, but because at the end of every program, Jack reviews a classic business book in his Just Jack! section.

The perfect book for you to put on your Christmas list and read to inspire you for the new year! READ FULL DESCRIPTION
In thinking of what to do for the 100th issue of ChangeThis, a lot of ideas were conjured up. But, in the end, we decided the most important thing we could do is to keep on doing the work we've been doing since Seth Godin turned the site over to us in the summer of 2005—act as a vehicle for moving ideas in service of authors and our audience. We did do a few special things with the issue, though. READ FULL DESCRIPTION
If you are a baseball fan, or even just a fan of great writing, I highly recommend you check out Michael Lewis's recent article for Vanity Fair about sports agent Gus Dominguez, who has been convicted (wrongly, Lewis believes) of smuggling Cuban baseball players to the United States. In it, he follows the story back to Cuba and paints a fascinating portrait of baseball there. Peter Gammons recently stated on Baseball Tonight that the most exciting baseball experience of his life was watching a game in Havana, and you can almost taste that kind of excitement in this piece by Lewis.

I was inspired by NPR's Mile HIgh Book Club listing today and thought to myself, "Hey! Lots of people will be grabbing a plane to visit family and friends this weekend - what would business minded people want to read during their travels? " Well, why not pick from the Top 10 business books that we've sold overseas and across borders in 2009? READ FULL DESCRIPTION

One of the stops on our tour for The 100 Best Business Books of All Time was Asheville, North Carolina. Jonathan Flaum was kind enough to host an event at his WriteMind Institute that combined his views of the world with the meta-themes we found throughout The 100 Best. Jonathan in this video clip talks about wisdom in decision-making using the story of Moses. READ FULL DESCRIPTION

We've been talking about how to help people, how to focus on what's positive and helpful in the current state of our world, rather than grumbling over the things that are both out of our control and truly uncertain. One of the ways we can do that is by starting a conversation that starts at a personal level. . READ FULL DESCRIPTION
We got a note last week from a reader who was a little upset by a new product that Harvard Business Publishing recently put out. Titled "10 Must-Read Articles from HBR", the electronic-only download highlights many of the same authors (and seminal ideas) as we did in The 100 Best. You'll find Drucker, Christensen, Goleman, Kotter among others with the Harvard Business Review article (ie condensed versions) of The Effective Executive, Innovator's Dilemma, Emotional Intelligence, Leading Change and so on.
