Latest Books for Entrepreneurs in November 2014
The Entrepreneurs Library presents the latest books for entrepreneurs in November 2014. These books are brand new to the market and the authors are in line to share their insights with me. Stay tuned this month for the release of the interviews with these great books and the authors.
Selfish, Scared, and Stupid by Kieran Flanagan and Dan Gregory
This provocative book is built on the idea that businesses must return to a more human engagement methodology in order to succeed. It is an informative read for anyone interested in improving influence, growing business reach, improving sales figures or understanding the complexities of human behavior.
Behavioral strategists Dan Gregory and Kieran Flanagan argue that if you want to increase your chances of success in business and life, you should design for reality. Offering real-world strategies with a healthy dose of wit and charm, Selfish, Scared & Stupid will help you design for success by aligning with natural human behaviors: selfishness, fear and stupidity.
Learn how the survival of the species plays into business, including delusional realities and the reasons ideas can fail. Discover how to offer customers strategic rewards, thereby making the buying process more attractive to selfish natures. Examine the link between fear and the unknown, including strategies for quelling fears and turning them into action.
