Bob Sutton on my Book

Bob Sutton on my Book A few weeks ago I sent a copy of Im on LinkedIn Now What??? to Bob Sutton, who Ive come to admire and respect over the last year. I asked for an endorsement, if he thought it was worthy of one. Here was his reply: I was ready to abandon my LinkedIn account before I read Jason Alba’s concise and remarkably useful guide. Jason writes with remarkable clarity, provides one useful tip after another about how to use it most effectively, and unlike so many users guides that offer breathless and uncritical hype, Jason candidly explains the virtues and drawbacks of Linkedin’s features. Beyond that, Jason has such deep experience with the web that the book contains hundreds of broader lessons about how to get the most of the web: I learned an enormous amount from this little gem. Robert Sutton, Stanford Professor and author of The No Asshole Rule I fell out of my chair. And when I got back up and read it again, I fell out of my chair again. I e-mailed Bob and thanked him for such a kind review, and he e-mailed me back with a very encouraging, supportive e-mail that reinforced this review. It was unbelievable. My first brush with Bob Sutton was when I read a book review by Kent Blumberg about his book. It was an excellent review so I was a fan right away. But when I started learning more about his publishing story, and how the Harvard Press wouldnt print his book unless he changed his title, and that he refused to change the title, I gained more respect for him. Then I started reading more reviews about his book from bloggers. Bob Sutton hit a major hot spot for the working class around the world, and has continued to evangelize the message. Im sure that what he is doing has freed or empowered people to get the self-confidence to deal with rotten boss situations, as scared as they may be. Thank you, Bob Sutton, for encouraging me and helping me with my first book. Im really a nobody in your world, shoot, Im the guy that couldnt even get a job interview and was out of work for too long. Writing a review like this, and even reading the book was above and beyond cool, and Ill appreciate it for a long time! There are other reviews that have come in since the last time I posted about it, which Ill post soon!
