We have presented synopses of business books, many of them bestsellers, at our First Friday Book Synopsis event every month since April, 1998.  From this month’s list, we have already presented Steve Jobs, Great by Choice, and Switch. I have also presented Boomerang for a private client’s event.

My colleague, Karl Krayer, will present Taking People with You at the March First Friday Book Synopsis, and Thinking, Fast and Slow at the April First Friday book Synopsis.

Some of the titles from this month’s list do not quite fit our purposes for our event.  (For example, we generally do not present “personal finance” books).  But there are a couple of others of these titles on our “to consider” list for our event.

Here’s the N Y Times list for February.

1	STEVE JOBS, by Walter Isaacson.
2	TAKING PEOPLE WITH YOU, by David Novak.
3	THINKING, FAST AND SLOW, by Daniel Kahneman.
4	PSYCHOLOGY OF WEALTH, by Charles Richards.
5	BOOMERANG, by Michael Lewis.
6	GREAT BY CHOICE, by Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen.
7	GREEDY BASTARDS, by Dylan Ratigan.
