Norm’s Suggested Readings for the Summer

Hey All!

As I wish everyone a happy, healthy & social summer ahead, I wanted to offer my suggestions for what to  “Read”  on the beach or the hammock.  I enjoyed these tremendously and HIGHLY recommend them!

    • Social media explained by a guy that’s been there, done that!  A must read for anyone who wants to remain (or become) current and relevant
  • Anything You Want – Derek Sivers
    • You will not find a successful entrepreneur more eager to help other entrepreneurs than Derek.  He is one of the most unique, generous, creative and successful minds of our time.  Read it now.
  • The Money Class – Suze Orman
    • Read this book if you want to take charge of your own personal finances!
  • The Tipping Point – Malcolm Gladwell
    • The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire
  • Trust Agents – Chris Brogan/Julien Smith
    • This is a great journey through the social media jungle and how best to exploit it
  • Viral Loop – Adam Penenberg
    • Learn how all of the “house-hold name” social media and internet companies grew virally.  Lots of great insight & fun!
  • The Facebook Effect – David Kirkpatrick
    • While the movie was entertaining, this book is the “REAL” deal of the beginnings and inner-workings of Facebook.
