Many of you may not be big readers which is why we are going to try to make this as low-stress and fun as possible. If you’ve never been in any sort of book club, they make the whole experience so much better because you are able to discuss your ideas about the book with others, talk about what you agree with and what you don’t agree with, and really get into some good discussions. Far better than just reading alone.

We picked November’s book because it’s highly renowned and also, pretty short.

Love is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends, by Tim Sanders is all about the new wave of doing business the “lovecat” way via compassionate leadership. Tim Sanders talks about the value of relationships in business and practical strategies for developing them.

The book is broken into 4 main parts. (Which helps immensely since there happen to be 4 weeks in a month.) So let’s plan on reading a section a week in November. So everyone go get your copies now. We’ll recap the first section: “The Lovecat Way” the week of the 9th. What do you guys think the best way to discuss is? Should we do it via comments? Should we do it via a facebook discussion board or other message board system? What is the easiest and most appealing for you?

To give you an idea of what we’ll be reading, I’ll leave you with this video of Tim Sanders himself from his website…

(It’s so funny at the end! I was literally laughing out loud at him and at myself.)

From Publisher’s Weekly: Sanders is a proponent of reading as much as possible and boiling it down to an essential Big Statement is that a kill-or-be-killed mentality won’t get you far in today’s business environment. Better to spread love, by connecting with people, giving out advice, using every available moment to increase your knowledge and being a “lovecat.”
