There's one called Fanatical Prospecting, which is just literally telling you prospect all, like do outbound all the time. And it's like a book that just kind of repeats that. Great book, just telling you the basics and just like go do it.

The Physics of Startups, "How to figure out 0-1 Sales", asked by his co-host which sales books have been valuable; his own spoken words, YouTube captions and Whisper agree (filler "like" removed). He adds: "It's more than that, but it's great."

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
