MAY 2021 I PCB007 MAGAZINE 105 is should give you some good insights into choosing the right business books for your particular needs. For the past few years, I have been contributing book recommendations to I-Connect007 and will continue to do so. Ac- tually, I am contemplating a regular feature for I-Connect007 called Dan's Business Book- shelf, where I regularly review and recommend books on a twice a month basis. What do you think? PCB007 Dan Beaulieu is president of D.B. Management Group.

Truth be known, if I ever write a series of business books they will look and feel ex- actly like these. If you are someone who does not want to spend a lot of time reading, this is the book series for you. 7. One great series that I re- cently discovered are the Goldfish Books. is se- ries consists of books on various pertinent business subjects from captivat- ing your customers (Pink Goldfish: Defy Normal, Exploit Imperfection and Captivate your Custom- ers), to customer acquisi- tion (Purple Goldfish 2.0: 10 Ways to Attract Raving Customers), to employee engagement (What's Your Green Goldfish? Beyond Dollars: 15 Ways to Drive Employee Engagement and Reinforce Culture). ere are about 10 of these, and they are all excellent. 8. I have a subscription to a service called Soundview Summaries. Every month they send me at least three eight-page summaries of the latest business books. ey take about 10 minutes to read and give me a great insight into the books and whether to buy them. It's really my secret weapon when choosing the right books to buy and read.
