I discovered the book, Never Eat Alone, when I listened to an interview with the author, Keith Ferrazzi. I originally wanted to blog about the book because it has so much good advice on networking. And after doing a bit more research, I could see that he also understands how to use branding and technology to build a community.

The book covers everything from connecting with connectors to taking charge of your networking experience at conferences to his personal stories of being exposed to powerful people at a young age. Ferrazzi also covers the joy of connecting people in his network, his own system of staying connected, and getting close to power. While this may sound crass, it’s not. Ferrazzi highlights throughout the book how networking is about giving first and being genuinely blessed by his network. Don’t forget to check out Ferrazzi’s blog.

A Bigger Voice is about connecting with others who resonate with your wisdom. Never Eat Alone shows you how to connect more artfully, with less stress and better results.
