Guy Kawasaki’s Enchantment (Update) – @guykawasaki

 

by Jeremy Schoemaker on May 16, 2011 · 6 comments

This is the 3rd time I have mentioned Guy Kawasaki’s book Enchantment.  As a marketer you have to pick up this book.

For those who don’t have it you are really missing out.

I have never came across a book that teaches you how to put you in the best mindset of your customers,  employees, investors and others from countless examples.

It’s one of those books that has made me make a lot of changes in my approach… and it’s giving fantastic results.

I have not been a huge fan of Guy’s other books… but this one is fantastic.

Go grab it. You can thank me later.

Richard Branson

“Guy’s book captures the importance — and the art — of believing in an idea that delivers something entirely unique to the customer. The power of a really good idea to transform the marketplace and individual customer experiences is huge, and this book offers a wealth of insights to help businesses and entrepreneurs tap into that potential.”

Sir Richard Branson, Founder of the Virgin Group

“Read this book to create a company as enchanting as Apple.”

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple

Robert Scoble

“You feel it when you drive a BMW, touch an Apple iPad, walk into a Sephora store, or buy shoes from Zappos. Kawasaki reveals how you can deliver the same enchanting experiences as these famous brands.”

Robert Scoble, Rackspace Videoblogger

“Kawasaki provides insights so valuable we all wish we’d had them first.”

Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence: Science and Practice

Phil Zimbardo

“Guy teaches you how to pull gems from people’s hearts and minds and how to become an effective practitioner of life’s crucial domains. Clearly, I taught him well.”

Dr. Phil Zimbardo, professor emeritus of psychology, Stanford University

“Guy has written the small-business manifesto. There is nothing more important for entrepreneurs than to enchant their customers, and Guy explains exactly how to do this.”

Jane Applegate, small-business management expert and author of 201 Great Ideas for Your Small Business

Michael Gartenberg

“The best overall treatise on interpersonal relationships since Dale Carnegie wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Michael Gartenberg, Research Director, Gartner

Ehh, maybe I will check it out. Overall, I find Guy’s smarter-than-thou smug attitude a real turn off. Hard to take him seriously b/c he obviously takes himself WAY too seriously.

Damn, even Richard Branson (a VERY smart businessman) backed him up. And he doesn’t just get on anyone’s side.
