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 |

Remember when the online biz was the playground of the business world? Yahoo! exec Sanders does, and with a vengeful nostalgia. In his almost dementedly excited book on how to get ahead in business by being loveable and smart, Sanders beats the drum of the New Economy louder and more happily than just about anyone out there. The "Big Statement" here Sanders is a proponent of reading as much as possible and boiling it down to an essential Big Statement is that a kill-or-be-killed mentality won't get you far in today's business environment. Better to spread love, by connecting with people, giving out advice, using every available moment to increase your knowledge and being a "lovecat." It's hard not to get swept up by the rose-colored glow of this gleaming "bizlove" philosophy, where people are excited to come to work and where they give out hugs and encouragement to everyone they come across. But being a lovecat, Sanders emphasizes, does not mean being a sucker. Naturally, as with most hype, the relentlessly upbeat narrative leads to some ridiculous overgeneralizations, like "during the Depression people worried about survival. Today the affluent worry about whether or not they are going to have a good experience." Sanders also vastly overestimates the availability of choice in today's job market, saying that if your boss isn't reciprocating your love, just get a new job ("A fresh start is a mouse click away"). These lapses aside, he is convincing. Cynics will argue that a sheep in a pack of wolves will simply be eaten, but a sheep armed with Sanders's brand of intelligent enthusiasm will more likely charm the wolves into submission.

The Chief Solutions Officer at Yahoo!, Sanders is a marketing and Internet consultant and a genius when it comes to connecting with customers. Love in a business context means sharing your compassion, your knowledge, and your network with people you want to do business with. It's also about the hard work of creating value in yourself by reading everything in your field and looking for any opportunities to help your clients and customers. As you might expect from a marketing pioneer, the audio is full of catchy phrases, and it moves along quickly. With a charming, boyish voice, Sanders shares more enthusiasm and intuitive insights than you'll hear in any other program of this nature. It's impossible not be energized by it.

Tim Sanders shows us that being a ‘lovecat’ is a great business strategy and I wholeheartedly agree. This book teaches us the value of relationships in the workplace, and it’s rich with practical, effective strategies for enhancing and developing them. |

This is not an ‘easy’ book. It is a genuine original. (And I know how overused that word is.) It will-should-must change your life. I know Tim Sanders - and he and this book are for real. Believe it. And become a (wildly successful) ‘lovecat.’ |

Aretha Franklin knew the secret: RESPECT. Tim Sanders knows how to spin it. In business, you get ahead by helping other people get what they want - it’s simple, it’s obvious, but it’s so easy to forget. Love Is the Killer App reminds us that maybe, just maybe, looking out for number one is not the way to get ahead. |

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. |

This book is Tim Sander. He believes in putting people first and being a "LoveCat". His message is hard hitting and to the point, but totally do-able. Treat people well in business! Duh! But somewhere along the line many professionals forgot this point. Love gets you farther.
The book is great, but more importantly, if you have never seen Tim Sanders speak live....you have missed out. He is one of the most engaging professional business speakers of our time. I have hired him for business events and the audience raves about his presentation for years afterward.
