Heart and soul…in business books?

Share YOUR story! at myfavoritebizbook.comJack Covert and Todd Sattersten of 800-CEO-READ have hit a nerve with their latest website creation: My Favorite Business Book. Following from their forthcoming book, The 100 Best Business Books of All Time, they’ve created a site where avid business book readers (much like yourself!) can share the books that have meant the most to them over the years.

Amid the chorus of “this book forever changed how I do business!”, contributors to the site share personal stories and zealous endorsements:

“In the new-marketing bible, Cluetrain is the old testament, and I am forever a disciple.”—blogger Jeff Risley on The Cluetrain Manifesto: The End of Business as Usual

“I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to continue to learn from and dialogue with the authors that helped change my life and launch my business!”—Tara Tollefson, CEO of the Buzz Company on Creating Customer Evangelists

“It’s the ‘bible’ in our office and Tom Peters is the Bishop”—blogger Dennis D. Balajadia on Re-Imagine!: Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age

With an easy to use visual format, you can search for the title of your own favorite business book and click the “tell us your story” button on the right-hand side of the page.

So, what biz book has knocked your socks off?
