Title : Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time
Author : Keith Ferrazzi
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : One of those books you just can't put down.
An excellent introduction to, and perspective on, the 'art' of networking. Rec. to me by a friend after watching him in action at a convention in the U.S. I bought it at the airport had read most of it on the return flights to Ireland. I just couldn't put it down and wished I'd read it earlier.
Even the title conveys a subtle message and indicates an interesting read rather than just 'How to Network' which it could have been called. You don't have to be in Sales or Marketing to read it - I'm not - it explains how some people network badly by being selfish and self promoting and valuable points on networking 'etiquette'.It helps you not to be a 'wallflower' in a room full of strangers - without being over bearing and trying to collect a fistful of business cards. Rather the authors concentrate on the 'personal' touches, so, if you are looking for deep rooted theories and phrases to 'learn' its not for you.It does indicate the right buttons to push and how to treat people - no matter what their position - in a polite and courteous manner to maximise results.
A great read truly reccommended.

Title : Sticky Wisdom
Author : Dave Allan
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : a great read
Written clearly, without patronising the reader. A book created by masters of innovation. Good techniques and tips as well as really interesting applicable cultural perspectives for an organisation wanting to move it's product development strategy forward.
This book is well worth 8 quid as it will help shape/structure your thinking on being innovative, as well as providing you with a 'toolkit' of language to encourage supportive innovative behaviours in others, who are determined to think too critically about fledgling ideas before they have had a chance to grow into potential winners.
Whatif also was 2004/5 best company to work for in the UK which in itself gives weight to the ideas in this book.
Title : Screw It, Let's Do It: Lessons in Life (Quick Reads)
Author : Sir Richard Branson
Rating : 1 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Screw it, let's not bother...
While the contents of this book are all well and good (it's basically a VERY thin fillet of the branson autobiography) I have to award it only one star for the following reasons:
1. This book is so short the publishers have had to print it in granny size 20 point linotype.
2. With a cover price of £2.99 that's nearly a penny for every two words.
3.While the book is clearly trying to sell itself as one of those crossover popular psycholgy/ business books of aphorisms, it isn't. It's a short series of vignettes.
Don't waste your hard earned money on this shoddy cash in little volume. Get the full biog instead.
