Summary: Give-it-away, give-it-away, give-it-away, give-it-away, now
Review: Tim Sanders' book brings to mind the words of a song by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers with the above words. The book counter intuitively suggests that the way to succeed in business is to "give it away". Knowledge. Contacts. Your time. And, most of all, your compassion. Give it away. We learn in the book that Tim did some preachin' in his day. Love is The Killer App, like a sermon, builds a case, line upon line, that if you want to get ahead in business, open up your mind to absorb and share knowledge. This is a stirring and hopeful book. Tim is also a great public speaker. I caught him at an event last year. Hilarious! David Brett, Founder, Knexa.

Summary: Be kind to people. Read this book then give it as a gift
Review: I met Tim at the National Home Health convention last year and immediately felt a connection with him. He is the type of guy and writer that you feel like you could meet and be great friends with after a short conversation. The book is just simply wonderful. What a great concept. Be kind to people, take interest in people, support people. This book is a dead winner. I have given it to CEO friends, university professors and everyone in between. They have all raved at how much they liked it.

Summary: Simple formula for quantum growth.
Review: In "Love is the Killer App" Tim Sanders writes about the importance of knowledge (gaining and sharing), networking and compassion. His book comes across as an exercise in what he is trying to teach--I felt Tim was sharing knowledge, introducing me to his network and treating me with compassion.The principles that he espouses may not be new--but he definitely endows them with new life. For those of you that have to influence others on a daily basis, Tim provides some excellent ideas that you can use to raise your status in the eyes of your clients to that of a "trusted advisor". I really liked the way he looks at everything life/business strategy in terms of whether or not it will "scale". This book offers some great yet simple ideas that, when applied, can greatly enhance your business and social life.

Summary: Nice people can finish first
Review: Tim Sanders' book is the best business book I've ever read -- and I've read a bunch of them. It's filled with valuable tips for thriving in the business world. And, if you try to play nice, it will provide you with reassurance that you're doing the right thing. If we could stop taking ourselves so seriously -- and start thinking of others when we make decisions -- the world (especially the corporate world) would be a much better place.

Summary: Right on target
Review: "Love is The Killer App" is one of those rare books that helps the reader to see what was always there, but perhaps invisible. As Tim points out, building the intangibles of knowledge, network and compassion and then giving them away is the path to success in today's fast-paced, information driven and love-starved business environments. This book is a gem that should sit in everyone's library. Joe Santana,

Summary: B.Chopra
Review: One of the best books I have read. Tim is very inspirational and gives very pragmatic ideas that everyone should adopt to be successful in whatever they do. The book talks about 3 key elements that everyone should adopt as part of their lifestyle - accumulate knowledge, always network, and be compassionate. Some touching quotes were
Use the word "Love" whenever you think of using the word "hate."
Being knowledgable and passing that knowledge is key to admiration and social currency

Summary: BizLove Version 1.0 -- Just Outa Beta
Review: Very powerful how2 book for someone just starting out or floundering in bizwhirld. Love App contains tried and true techniques for inventing and reinventing your career, spun-up in WEBwords. Very readable and has specific tactics delineated for easy implementation. The sections on Knowledge and Networks are primers for the uninitiated, and also thought provoking to the experienced hunter/gatherer of knowledge and its network applications. There are instructions on how to acquire these valuable skills and recommendations of books for further study. The section on Compassion is a good exploration into that underemployed state of mind. Though to my mind there is more to it than the hugging and the obsequiousness which Tim suggests, nonetheless these things can help reduce fear and promote goodwill among ourselves. "Perfect love dispels fear." said St. John, but how do we reach for perfect love in the act of business? It is refreshing to see that someone is expounding on the subjects of love and compassion in business. If we must work, then let's make it fun for everyone. We all know this stuff intuitively, so why is it so difficult to put into practice? Maybe Tim will have an answer and some suggestions in version 2.0.

Summary: Relationships and Abundance Thinking Grow Your Business
Review: A high-level Yahoo exec discusses compassion, abundance, and love as business success tools. Tim is a master networker, always providing helpful hints or recommending books he thinks his friends will find useful. His list of friends continues to grow, and somehow <wink>, his friends go out of their way to help him. His climb to the executive ranks is proof that you don't have to step on anyone to get to the top. I discovered Tim's book while researching my own book, Principled Profit: Marketing That Puts People First. I not only bought and devoured it, but started recommending it to friends--and tracked tim down to send him a fan letter! Of course, he answered almost immediately. A delightful book written by a delightful person.

Summary: Fast read, helpful book with good insights...
Review: I heard Tim Sanders speak recently at a young leaders conference in Atlanta and it was on this very idea ("Love is the Killer App"). So while I was already introduced to the general idea of the book, it was more helpful for me in reading it because I had heard this guy speak and had seen his audacious personality! Let me just say this: everything you read in the book is truly lived out in Tim, the man. I'm not a Business major, but I am a Communication major in college right now and this book gave great insights to not just good-business models and principles but good social-people skills as well. I wish he had talked more in the book about the scarcity mentality (in which he spoke on -- along with talking about the content in this book) because that for me, was the most interesting thing in this whole "Love is the killer app" approach. Despite this, the book is solid and is good for not just the Business folk but for every person who would call themselves a human being. I'm an aspiring 21-year-old lovecat myself, and Tim is an encouraging role model for me and for the future of American leaders and followers! Thanks Tim!

Summary: bizlove
Review: This small book espouses a big idea in a practical manner. Tim creates a new term: bizlove. Tim defines bizlove as "The art of intelligently and sensibly sharing your intangibles with your bizpartners. What are your intangibles? They are our knowledge, our network, and our compassion." Tim provides concise steps to achieve bizlove. He provides steps on building your knowledge by reading (aggregating, encoding, processing, and applying). He provides steps for utilizing your network (collect, connect, and disappear). Tim then goes on to say that "you've got to express your compassion, because, compassion combined with knowledge and network, it is the way we win hearts and influence business in this, the dawn of the new business world." Have you already read Tom Peter's "Brand You 50"? If you have, you may recognize the parallels. But Tim has walked his own talk. He has aggregated a number of books; built the bizlove idea from them, used his network to help develop bizlove, and is now sharing this idea with passion. Read, and enjoy. You may become a lovecat!
