Dan Ariely, Ph.D.

Predictably Irrational

Harper/HarperCollins


This New York Times bestseller – and Notable Book of the Year – also made the lists of The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Der Spiegel and many others worldwide. It’s been translated in 25 languages so far, and endorsed by four Nobel Laureates in economics.  The New Yorker’s James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowds says "Dan Ariely is a genius at understanding human behavior: no economist does a better job of uncovering and explaining the hidden reasons for the weird ways we act, in the marketplace and out. Predictably Irrational will reshape the way you see the world, and yourself, for good."

Patrick Lencioni

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Jossey-Bass


In November 2008, Fortune magazine profiled Patrick Lencioni as one of the “Ten New Gurus You Should Know,” saying he is among “a new generation of innovative thinkers that are emerging with fresh ideas used to change the way business gets done.”   With over one million copies in print, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable has appeared on the bestseller lists of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, and USA Today.

Geoffrey A. Moore

Crossing the Chasm

HarperBusiness/HarperCollins


Since its publication in 1991, and through several updates, Crossing the Chasm has become one of the most influential books ever written on high-tech marketing. It is a required text for business leaders and business school students throughout the world. Amazon.com identified one of Moore’s follow-up books, The Gorilla Game, as one of the ten most important investing books of all time.

Stephen Baker

The Numerati

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt


BusinessWeek senior writer Stephen Baker explores the ways in which a new cadre of mathematical geniuses and systems is analyzing the countless bits of data that we release into the digital world every day, and using it to model every aspect of our behavior. Wired magazine editor-in-chief Chris Anderson says, “Baker puts his finger on perhaps the most important cultural trend today….A must-read for anyone who wants to understand life and business in the Google Age.”

David Novak

Taking People With You

Portfolio/Penguin Group


David Novak is chairman and CEO of Yum! Brands, Inc., which operates in more than 112 countries and employs 1.4 million people.  Writing in Fortune, Geoffrey Colvin says “Not many business leaders have produced long-term performance that merits our attention; of those few, not many write books; and of those who do, hardly any write good books. Novak is in that tiny subset. You can safely declutter much of your business leadership bookshelf, even if it's just taking up gigabytes in your iPad or Kindle, and install this one in the vast empty space.”
