Is love really all you need? Tim Sanders, director of Yahoo's in-house think tank, believes love is the crucial element in the search for personal and professional success. In Love Is the Killer App he explains why. Sander's advice is to be a "lovecat," which despite the cutesy moniker is his sincere and surprisingly practical prescription for advancement both inside and outside the office. It starts with amassing as much usable knowledge as possible, which he explains can be done by religiously carving out time to read and then poring through as many cutting-edge books in your field as possible. It follows with an emphasis on networking to the extreme. Sanders offers concrete suggestions, from compiling a super list of contacts to ensuring all are regularly stored in an always-accessible format. And he concludes by advocating a true mindset of compassion, which he says involves sharing this knowledge with those contacts and ultimately helping anyone who in one way or another may ultimately help you. Through identifiable anecdotes and specific recommendations, the book promotes an undeniably feasible yet decidedly offbeat program that has worked for the author and could prove equally favorable for others who apply it. --Howard Rothman
Book Description
Are you wondering what the next killer app will be? Do you want to know how you can maintain and add to your value during these rapidly changing times? Are you wondering how the word love can even be used in the context of business?
Instead of wondering, read this book and find out how to become a lovecat—a nice, smart person who succeeds in business and in life.
How do you become a lovecat? By sharing your intangibles. By that I mean:
Your knowledge: everything that comes from all the books that I’ll encourage you to devour.
Your network: the collection of friends and contacts you now have, which I’ll teach you how to grow and nurture.
Your compassion: that human warmth you already possess—in these pages I’ll convince you that you can show it freely at the office.
What happens when you do all this?
* You become a rich source of information to all around you.
* You are seen as a person with valuable insight.
* You are perceived as generous to a fault, producing surprise and delight.
* You double your business intelligence in one year.
* You triple your network of personal relationships in two years.
* You quadruple the number of colleagues in your life who love you like family.
In short, you become one of those amazing, outstanding people to whom everyone turns, who leads rather than follows, who never runs out of ideas, contacts, or friendship.
Here’s the real scoop: Nice guys don’t finish last. They rule!

Business success strategies to win in any economy.......2007-10-24
Tim Sanders is a remarkable communicator, because he quickly maps out the systematic approach needed to maintain long term business success in this short book. Regretfully, even though I was told that it was life-changing years ago, I still didn't understand the title enough to make the connection with love to business success.
Then thankfully I had a chance to talk to Tim personally after a conference in Atlanta where he explained the concepts. I couldn't wait to read the book and then to recommend it to the business leaders that I have the honor of coaching to achieve greater results! His bonus training on how to gain full comprehension from the books you read is easy to apply as are the other coaching techinques that he weaves into the pages of this classic business tool that will work in any economy. This is essential reading if you want to maintain clients for life.
Dale Carnegie for Our Generation.......2007-09-21
Tim Sanders' does an outstanding job of articulating an approach to business excellence that resonates with those of us that don't subscribe to the "kill or be killed", mercenary school of business. Love is the Killer App presents a cogent argument for adopting his positive principles of engagement. His approach of delivering value in a personal way and operating from an "abundance perspective" as opposed looking at business as a win-lose proposition is refreshing. Being a Lovecat is fun, sustainable and in the end more profitable.
Biz love for today's workforce... count me in!.......2007-09-17
This book works directly with anyone trying to differentiate themselves in the workforce today. Relevant to anyone who wants to enjoy their life and their job more, this book really shows how the "nice guy" can succeed and actually finish first. Great quick read that will benefit anyone.
Outstanding.......2007-08-30
This book is the best!
It is one of the most useful and inspiring books I ever read!!!
It tells you how to spread love throughout the cold, unfeeling corporate world of one line emails and cubicle prisons.
The value of intangibles.......2007-07-21
This book is a treatise on the value of intangibles in business: value of knowledge, compassion, and networks. Describing himself as a 'lovecat', Tim Sanders strongly encourages establishing a solid book-reading habit, a habit for compassion towards your 'bizmates', and an open Rolodex. In the end, it comes down to building a valuable personal brand: treat everyone with respect, you never know what the future holds. If you're already convinced of the value of reading and networks, you might want to look at something else on the bookshelf, and if not, it will be a good investment of your time.
Book Description
What is the return to investing in the stock market? Can we predict future stock market returns? How have equities performed over the last two centuries? The authors in this volume are among the leading researchers in the study of these questions. This book draws upon their research on the stock market over the past two dozen years. It contains their major research articles on the equity risk premium and new contributions on measuring, forecasting, and timing stock market returns, together with new interpretive essays that explore critical issues and new research on the topic of stock market investing. This book is aimed at all readers interested in understanding the empirical basis for the equity risk premium. Through the analysis and interpretation of two scholars whose research contributions have been key factors in the modern debate over stock market perfomance, this volume engages the reader in many of the key issues of importance to investors. How large is the premium? Is history a reliable guide to predict future equity returns? Does the equity and cash flows of the market? Are global equity markets different from those in the United States? Do emerging markets offer higher or lower equity risk premia? The authors use the historical performance of the world's stock markets to address these issues.

Book Description
This book provides a landmark in the evolution of a distinctive movement, perhaps even an emerging new philosophy within the practice of headwater management. The headwater control movement began in 1989 and has remained a typical environmental movement, in the sense of being
ad hoc, multidisciplinary, integrative, practical, interventionist and, above all, `green'. In this book, the scattered supporters of headwater control reveal a shared vision of the way forward in headwater management, restoration and protection, presenting a clearer vision of the work that has to be done and a plan of campaign for the future.

Wrong Edition.......2005-07-03
The book was advertised under third edition but was received as second edition.
I suggest that you buy something else instead.......2004-02-02
First of all, I must give that the presentation quality of this book is very good; it is easy to follow too; so when you take this book in hand the first impression is that it's a great book; but unfortunately it is not.. Here's why:
1 - There are some numerical errors: in maps and in unit conversions.
2 - The word "global" in the title does not apply to the perspective of the book; it might claim to have a global context but it is not from a global perspective (instead a western perspective, which is not necessarily something loathsome, but it's rather irritating)
3 - Some maps and some pieces of info highly controversial, and sometimes wrong. (for example, when it talks about the Alleged Armenian Genocide it says that half of the population were killed (whereas the death toll was much less than that), and what's more it makes the stupid error of saying that it took place "after" the first world war, whereas all the Armenians claim that it happened in 1915. (I guess there's no need to mention that it does not present any information about the Turks/Kurds massacred by various Armenian bands)
4 - Some misinformation will make you laugh - (such as when they write that the world wars took place in 19th century)
5 - It's not bountiful: you read, read, and read; but you hardly learn anything.. lots of detail but very little insight.
I strognly recommend that you give up the idea of purchasing this book, and instead go for a real good Human Geography book such as that of Bergman, which is also available from amazon
When you write a book about such topics as history or geography, you need to be knowledgeful in a broad range of areas. But so far as I have observed these two people seem to be highly deficient in history and basic science&maths.
Wonderful book.......2003-04-19
This textbook is very easy to follow. I am glad that I purchased this book.
A very understandable book for educational purposes.......1997-09-13
This book was very easy to read, the examples made clear sense to the topic. It would be nice if your web site address was easy to find, it was not stated in the book.
Book Description
An in-depth look at the science of ancient Greece, this volume examines the influence of antique philosophy on 17th-century thought. Additional topics embrace many elements of modern physics: the empirical basis of quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle, and the action-at-a-distance theory of Wheeler and Feynman. 1961 edition.
Book Description
Terence brought to the Roman stage a bright comic voice and a refined sense of style. His six comedies--first produced in the half dozen years before his premature death in 159
BCE--were imaginatively reformulated in Latin plays written by Greek playwrights, especially Menander. For this new Loeb Classical Library edition of Terence, John Barsby gives us a faithful and lively translation with full explanatory notes, facing a freshly edited Latin text.
Volume I contains a substantial introduction and three plays: The Woman of Andros, a romantic comedy; The Self-Tormentor, which looks at contrasting father-son relationships; and The Eunuch, whose characters include the most sympathetically drawn courtesan in Roman comedy. The other three plays are in Volume II: Phormio, a comedy of intrigue with an engaging trickster; The Mother-in-Law, unique among Terence's plays in that the female characters are the admirable ones; and The Brothers, which explores contrasting approaches to parental education of sons.
The Romans highly praised Terence--"whose speech can charm, whose every word delights," in Cicero's words. This new edition of his plays, which replaces the now outdated Loeb translation by John Sargeaunt (first published in 1912), succeeds in capturing his polished style and appeal.
