About this listen

Are you wondering what the next killer app will be? Do you want to know how you can maintain and add to your value during these rapidly changing times? Are you wondering how the word love can even be used in the context of business?

Instead of wondering, listen to this audiobook and find out how to become a lovecat - a nice, smart person who succeeds in business and in life.

How do you become a lovecat? By sharing your intangibles. By that Tim Sanders means:
Your knowledge: everything that comes from all the books that he'll encourage you to devour.
Your network: the collection of friends and contacts you now have, which he'll teach you how to grow and nurture.
Your compassion: that human warmth you already possess - Sanders will convince you that you can show it freely at the office.

What happens when you do all this?

  • You become a rich source of information to all around you.
  • You are seen as a person with valuable insight.
  • You are perceived as generous to a fault, producing surprise and delight.
  • You double your business intelligence in one year.
  • You triple your network of personal relationships in two years.
  • You quadruple the number of colleagues in your life who love you like family.
    In short, you become one of those amazing, outstanding people to whom everyone turns, who leads rather than follows, who never runs out of ideas, contacts, or friendship.

    Here's the real scoop: Nice guys don't finish last. They rule!

    Just OK

    Clearly out of date in the tech sense but the content felt like something that should be taught to a 6 year old.

    Killer app

    Tim was right. I’ve always felt being human was a difference maker for me in business. Thanks, Tim, for being the voice of reason and helping me understand the fundamentals of why being a lovecat is so important. I read at least 20 books each year and this is easily one of the top 10.

    An alternative approach to communicate.

    Takeaway:. this book gave me an alternative approach to correcting and altering the behaviors/performance of team members. This approach taught me that their behavior while not to my satisfaction isn't wrong, but could be improved by using the love app method.

    Wonderful Model

    I played an abridged version of this book for the staff at our hospital. They really liked it and the model of sharing knowledge, networks,and compassion fits wonderfully into medicine. It has shaped the way we talk and work.

    Good concepts, outdated delivery

    I'd love to see Tim offer a second edition on this book. It's nearly 20 years old and he references so much about communication and technologies that are now obsolete that it has a threat of discrediting the valid information in between. I did appreciate the basic principles and he adds enough real life stories and experiences to keep the reader engaged and turning the page.

    Great start and finish. A bit slow in the middle.

    Lots of great ideas in this book. The middle is a bit slow, but it finishes strong. Great book for your sales team.

    Not too much REAL content

    This book could be easily shortened to about two or three pages of text. However, some readers could find stories/examples described by the author as meaningful and entertaining.
