In trying to figure out a place to keep reviews and media organized for my second business book, CTRL ALT Delete, I settled on this page.
If you’re interested in reviews, media and that sort of stuff about the business book, here it is (and it will be updated on a regular basis). But, this is more for archival purposes than self-promotion. Also, please note that the book only comes out on May 21st, 2013, but some reviews of the galley copies are starting to make their way online. If you would like to pre-order the book, please visit this link: CTRL ALT Delete – buy the book.
Advance praise for CTRL ALT Delete:
- “This is not just a good read. This is not just an instructional business book. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, it’s a prophecy. So when the future arrives and your customers are gone and your job no longer exists, you can’t say you haven’t been warned.” – Jon DiPietro.
- “To put it mildly… this is a fantastic book. Regardless of your position, point in your career and whether you are involved directly in the technology or marketing businesses… this is one book that you MUST read. It will challenge the way you think about your business, your world and your place in it… I believe [it] will go down as one of the best business books of 2013.” – Jim Buckley.
- “This book is brimming with actionable ideas, examples and suggestions… His narrative is bracing, deep, with insights accompanied by practical recommendations…One of the best books I’ve read recently – am recommending it to many.” – L.M. Keefer.
- “Once again Mitch Joel takes his years of experience, mixes it with a healthy dose of future gazing and delivers a first class book that any business professional must read to be prepared for the world we live in today.” – C.C. Chapman.
- “When you pick up Ctrl Alt Delete by Mitch Joel, you are taking the ‘red pill’ so be ready to have your eyes opened and allow Mitch to take you deep down the rabbit hole. It truly is a rush… While reading this book I caught myself downloading apps Mitch mentions and looking up products, articles and videos he refers to.
