Quote

I don't read many business books. I read good fiction. Business is about people, so my favorite business books are anything by Dickens.

I think a good business book has one coherent idea that is richly played out.

I'm not big on reading business books. I get copies of all of them, because people want me to put a comment on the jacket. Every once in a while, I'll get interested and read one all the way through.

I think I'm more marketing- and sales-oriented than others, and the notion of selling books continues to interest me.

I did not want to write just another business book.

My experience is that books take on a life of their own and create their own energy. I've represented books that have been sold for very little money and gone on to great glory, and I've seen books sold for an enormous amount of money published to very little response.

I don't really read 'business books,' and I didn't think 'The Paradox of Choice' was a business book. I'm very surprised and gratified that the business world thought it was one.

I love a big book, but it's what most people like which makes commerce sing.

Every woman who has a business book has a platform. For the most part, they're either a television personality or someone who had the perfect pedigree and worked their way up the career ladder.
