5.0 out of 5 stars What the World Needs NOW, 27 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends (Hardcover)
Having read "LOVE is the Killer App" from cover to cover, I can't believe we have gotten so far way from what our grandparents and parents taught us. Be nice. Say thank you. Look out for friends and colleagues. Keep your word and Share!!
Tim Sanders has got it right with a beautiful book that is elegantly told. His book speaks volumes to our personal and business world. The Golden Rule applies more than EVER. This is a deeply inspiring book that I hope changes the world one reader at a time. I loved it's message.

DO GOOD and walk lightly across the business landscape. A wonderful book for the 21st Century.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is the Killer App - Love It!, 29 Aug 2006
By James Lawn "Polecat" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
CONCEPT

The principles of this book have been covered before, but the simplicity and context with which they have been delivered makes it truly memorable and fun to read. Furthermore, the references to other great books on a wide variety of subjects is a real benefit. In essence, the book is about LOVE BUSINESS - the act of intelligently and sensibly sharing your intangibles with your bizpartners. These intangibles are separated into 3 key themes: knowledge, network and compassion. Get this all going and you're a LOVECAT - and it's worth committing to becoming a LOVECAT with your bizpartners. As Tim says, it's the difference between having people's time and their attention - like ham and eggs. The chicken is involved, the pig is committed.

BACKGROUND

Knowledge

Tim describes knowledge as everything you have learned and everything you continue to learn. He suggests that news gives you awareness - a measurement of today - whereas books give you knowledge - a measure of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Awareness is finite whereas knowledge is forever. He suggests a four-step programme to help make knowledge work: aggregation - getting the right books; encoding - effectively annotating and commenting on the content of the book as you read each section; processing - assimilating the content of the books you read, knowing its `Big Thought' and maybe writing a review on it; and application - the employment and effective sharing of the knowledge you gain with your colleagues and bizpartners.

Network

The benefit and need for networking in the 21st Century is generally well understood. As Tim says, our future success will be based on the people we know. He suggests following a networking system comprising 3 steps: collecting - ensuring you have the right people in your network and not screening out the little people; connecting - taking your assortment of contacts and thinking about ways in which they can be linked - tune your receiver for opportunities to make connections and fuse the connection once made; and disappearing - only remain active until the relationship can survive without you - building trust in your motives and scale in your ability to build a network.

Compassion

Tim declares that compassion in business is not just possible but necessary - the perfect complement to knowledge and network - the holy trinity the Lovecat way. "Lovecats don't just give you what you need - we are what you need." Tim describes six benefits for a Lovecat: you build an outstanding brand as a person; you create an experience - a critical factor in today's experience economy; you have access to people's attention (ham and eggs); you harness the power of positive presumption; you receive exceptional feedback - the best and fastest method for continual personal improvement; and you gain personal satisfaction.

COMMENT

This is just a great book with insight and fresh perspectives throughout - from the principles of Silicon Valley innovation through to the concept of dot.communists. Tim tells us to be distinct or be extinct - think about Return on Attention rather than just Return on Investment - time is short so add some value! It's a lot to take on and try to achieve but to pull a quote from the Dalai Lama that Tim uses in the book, "You don't have to be a god. Just stop hurting people." Love is the Killer App is a superb book. Get it. Read it. Do it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A loving attitude in business can work if you have know how, 28 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends (Hardcover)
If you like to look out for your colleagues, encourage them to be the best, connect people who like to get things done, and you do this just for the buzz and pleasure of seeing things happen, then you're a Love cat at heart.

Read this book to improve your ways.

Love Cat recommendations by the author:

1. Knowledge
Read, anotate, disseminate in your network.

2. Network
Build based on common interests and pass on knowledge

3. Love
Effort, and commitment to your network based on connecting people to share and achieve great things.

Note:
This reviewer did not give the author a five star rating because the motivation for improving yourself appeared to be driven by fear. You had to improved not to be caught by fresher ideas, and people who were more knowledgable than you.
