The last-minute, just-in-time, change-things gift solution: books
It took 500 years to figure out how to make something this magical, this permanent, this heartfelt... and get it delivered to you in time for the holidays, for just a few bucks. You may have heard of most of these, which makes them even more likely to be welcome gifts.
They are always the right size and they show you to be a person of good taste and generosity.
In the category of books I wish I'd read earlier in my career, I'd list: Do The Work, Persuadable, Anything You Want, Secrets of Closing the Sale, Start With Why, The Pursuit of Wow, New Rules, The Republic of Tea, Why David Sometimes Wins, The True Believer, The Red Queen, The Mesh, Don't Make Me Think, Software Project Survival Guide, Marketing Myopia, The Goal, Misbehaving, How to Design Cool Stuff, The Shipwrecked Mind, Body of Work...
Filed under thinking better: Getting Unstuck, Start Here Now, Book of est, Fail, Fail Again...
Worth listening to a thousand times on vinyl: Ella and Louis, A Love Supreme, Art Blakey, Herbie Hancock...
For a much needed laugh, not just a smile, but many laughs: Bizarro and The Far Side (jumbo paperback set)...
And if you want to help the people you care about catch up on my books...
The other day, someone came up to me on the subway and told me that Icarus had changed his life. That's a lot to get from a book that costs less than $20.
