Marc Hershon and Jonathan Littman have been hard at work promoting their new book, I HATE PEOPLE!, Kick Loose from the Overbearing and Underhanded Jerks at Work and Get What You Want Out of Your Job. You may recognize Jonathan Littman for co-authoring a few 8CR favorites, The Art of Innovation, which is featured in the 100 Best, and The Ten Faces of Innovation which we've written about periodically over the years. The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek have both run reviews of the book, so feel free to check them out when you have a minute.
As a special offer, I will send a free copy of I HATE PEOPLE! to the first two people to shoot an email to aaron at 800ceoread dot com .

One of the sources for our de.icio.us links is the New York Times Book Review. They have a convenient email that arrives weekly with the titles they are highlighting. NYTBR doesn't really cover business, but there will be a book from time to time.
This week what caught my attention was the advertisement from Levenger. I am a bit of a sucker for cool notebooks and the ad featured their Circa line. Clicking through, I arrived on their landing page and found Ten Faces of Innovation prominently featured with the copy, "Write a book the IDEO way, using Levenger Circa notebooks." (the notebooks are leaping into my shopping cart at this point).
The most interesting part for our readers here is Tom's story of how he writes books. He uses a method taught him from another Tom--Tom Peters:
Several years ago, my friend Tom Peters taught me how to write a book. He said, “Forget what you learned in school

I don't know if your parents are like this, but my mom always sends a bag of stuff home with me whenever I visit. Most of the time, it is magazines she has finished reading (when I was in college, she would fill out all of those offers where you send in three proofs of purchase to get some free t-shirt and put my dorm address as the send-to).
In this week's bag was the Spring 2006 edition of BusinessWeek SmallBiz. The cover story is "ideas that BLOOM". The article profiles Numi Tea, Benjamin Obdyke, and Bravado Designs. It talks about their efforts to be more innovative.
Kathryn From, CEO of Bravado, uses books with her management team to foster innovation. She says in the article: "We recently read Good To Great by Jim Collins and spent half a day talking about how we can use it."
On the same page is an outstanding list of books on innovation (kudos to writer Diane Brady):
- The Ten Faces of Innovation by Tom Kelley with Jonathan Littman
- The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman
- Orbiting The Giant Hairball by Gordon MacKenzie
- 10 Rules for Strategic Innovators by Vijay Govindarajan and Chris Trimble
- The Art of Innovation by Tom Kelley
- Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Rene Mauborgne
- The Medici Effect by Frans Johansson

Jack first called out the Tom Kelly's Ten Faces of Innovation from the BusinessWeek review last month.
There has been some other great coverage that I wanted to make sure you have seen.
- Fast Company ran an excerpt from the book.
- IT Conversations has an audio interview with Tom.
- You can also find a Q&A between Tom Kelly and tompeters.com, a part of their Cool Friends series.
- Kathy from Creating Passionate Users chimes in about being devil's advocate (Kelly leads the book talking about the danger of the DA).
The Ten Faces of Innovation

In October 24, 2005 issue of BusinessWeek, Bruce Nussbaum reviews Tom Kelley's new book The Ten Faces of Innovation. He starts the review:
Like many people these days, I only have time for books during airplane trips. And I measure how long they take to read by mileage. Tom Kelleys The Ten Faces of Innovation is a coast-to-coast, five hour affair. But unlike the mostly unsavory food served on transcontinental flights, this book delivers some tasty morsels to managers hungry to boost their companies level of innovation. It is funny, insightful, and chock-full of surprising examples. If you take it on a flight from Los Angeles, you will have something to use at work by the time you land in New York.
The review continues along this vein and ends with You can learn a lot by flying.
