Tom Peters's Book Recommendations

"[This book] embarrassed me. It suggests that most of us undervalue introverts and, thus, effectively take a pass on about 40 percent of the population. In particular, introverts tend to be more thoughtful and deliberate."

"The ability to pause and reflect separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Given the acceleration frenzy, 'slow down' is no less than profound advice."

"Tom Peters recommended this book in the "Tribe of Mentors" book."

"Gives 'big data' a much-needed punch in the nose. Bravo! Big data can be invaluable but can do incalculable harm as well."

"Favorite line: 'Be the best, it’s the only market that’s not crowded.'"

"Wow! She built a large ad agency from scratch and is in the Advertising Hall of Fame."

"A stomach turner."

"Wonderful, short book."

"Tom Peters recommended this book in the "Tribe of Mentors" book."

"The clarity, even genius, of this book actually brought me to near-tears on several occasions. Just bloody brilliant, that's what!"

"What an extraordinary book: INVISIBLE WOMEN: DATA BIAS IN A WORLD DESIGNED FOR MEN by Caroline Criado Perez. Not only is it informative and actionable, but it is a peerless revelation of how deep our sexism runs. (God alone knows how many copies I’ve given away.)"

"I LOVE this book. PERIOD."

"@SallyHelgesen @HenryMintzberg @coachourselves I just loved the book because it featured the messy reality of organizations. It was, in my view, a frontal attack on Druckerian hyper-rationality, which I instinctively thought was bullshit—but now I had data to prove it/counter it."

"*Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism* is on this CIO Recommended Reading List for 2022. Extreme Humanism isn't just about design or HR, it's about every aspect of your business. IT leaders, read Tom's latest book. It's "just full of great advice". ^HB"

"@freeagentglobal @nytimes FYI, Jane Jacobs close kin; e.g., The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Wonderful book."

"@LouisGudema An extraordinary book."

"Took me several weeks to get through Heather McGhee’s The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together. It’s clearly one of the most important books I’ve ever read. The case studies-vignettes should move anyone in the category of “breathing human being.”"

"@StephynieMalik @DaliaFeldheim “Lead like a girl.” Yes! Reminds me of my favorite book title: Warren Buffett Invests Like a Girl: And Why You Should, Too, by LouAnn Lofton."

"@geriwithetc @TwinsKevin @mayawiley @BeschlossDC @AliVelshi @kaitlancollins @scribe827 @ChrisCuomo I am an absolute maniac on the topic of cognitive biases of evey flavor. So much fun. (The “bible” is Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman’s book, Thinking, Fast and Slow.)"

"@ShahinKhan @MarkMFallon @bwatwood @pptsapper Mostly same-same. Read Jerry Muller’s The Tyranny of Metrics. Excellent book."

"@SueWoods FYI. Wonderful book. PrimeTime Women, by Martha Barletta."
