Permission Marketing by Seth Godin.
Seth Godin calls this Interruption Marketing, and, as companies are discovering, it no longer works. Instead of annoying potential customers by interrupting their most coveted commodity, time, Permission Marketing offers consumers incentives to voluntarily accept advertising.
Icarus Deception by Seth Godin.
In his bravest and most challenging book yet, Seth Godin shows how we can thrive in an economy that rewards art, not compliance. He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkability, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art. The path of the artist isn’t for the faint of heart – but Godin shows why it’s your only chance to stand up, stand out, and make a difference. The time to seize new ground and work without a map is now. So what are you going to do?

Selling the invisible by Harry Beckwith

“Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation. “
“All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.”
“If you envy successful people, you create a negative force field of attraction that repels you from ever doing the things that you need to do to be successful. If you admire successful people, you create a positive force field of attraction that draws you toward becoming more and more like the kinds of people that you want to be like.”
These are just three quotes that motivate us to act every day.
Brian Tracy is the author of over seventy books that have been translated into dozens of languages. His popular books are:

“Because advertising and marketing is an art, the solution to each new problem or challenge should begin with a blank canvas and an open mind, not with the nervous borrowings of other people’s mediocrities. That’s precisely what ‘trends’ are – a search for something ‘safe’ – and why a reliance on them leads to oblivion.” – George Lois.
“A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.” – Jeff Bezos.
“If you want to understand how a lion hunts, don’t go to the zoo. Go to the jungle.” – Jim Stengel.
“Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde.
“Stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time.” – Henry Ford.
“Creative without strategy is called ‘art.’ Creative with strategy is called ‘advertising.” – Jef I. Richards.
“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.” – Mark Twain.
