mad Dixon's new book called The jolt effect uh is really great just because there's all this data and the things that he discovered with that data a lot of it sort of go against the you know what what would we consider like accepted sales wisdom and so I think that book is full of Juicy nuggets and everybody should look at it

Lenny's Podcast, "A step-by-step guide to crafting a sales pitch that wins", lightning round, asked for the books they recommend most; the guest's own spoken answer (YouTube captions). Captions spell the author "mad Dixon".

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.
