Day 23 of 100 blogs in 100 days



Day 23 of 100 blogs, in my quest to visit 100 blogs in 100 days...

I have a deep appreciation for wisdom gleaned from business books. Often the tragedy in the real world is the lack of implementation that most books espouse. Nonetheless, it is gratifying to cluster with individuals from various disciplines of vocation and see their businesses in action with innovative thinking and dynamic leadership.

There is quite a glut of books on the market today; leadership, sales & marketing, biographies, histories and futurist works are just some of the categories to wade through; that's why I appreciate 800-CEO-READ. This one stop blog (and online book store) helps me to grab hold of the various books available with interviews, excerpts of books, podcasts, reviews and commentary.

The Tipping Point, A Whole New Mind, The Wisdom of Crowds are part of a new breed of business books and Jack Covert, founder and president of 800-CEO-READ observes that "The new business book is not about how to run a company, it is about how to look at the world differently."

There are three blogs that support the online retailer - http://www.800ceoread.com/...
http://800ceoread.com/excerpts/ where excerpts and Q&A with the author are spotlighted, http://800ceoread.com/blog/ where daily commentary on business books are presented plus 800ceoread.com/podcasts

Take advantage of the above resources!

About 800-CEO-READ's Blog
This is the company blog for 800-CEO-READ. Our idea here is to give you an unparalleled resource for business books. We are going feature reviews by Jack Covert. We are going to pull content from mainstream and on-line media. We are going to have authors stop by. And that is only the half of it.

Like any good blog, we are just going to jump in and see what happens.
