Fast Company's Greatest Hits: Ten Years of the Most Innovative Ideas in Business

by Mark N. Vamos (Editor), Jim Collins (Foreword by)

The greatest articles from the hottest business magazine of the past decade

Since 1995, Fast Company has been the place to turn for cutting-edge business ideas and profiles of amazing companies and their leaders. This hardcover collection gathers the magazine’s best and most enduring articles, the ones that generated the most buzz and the deepest insights.

These outstanding pieces include:
• “The Brand Called You” by Tom Peters
• “Free Agent Nation” by Daniel Pink
• “In Search of Courage” by John McCain
• “Malcolm Gladwell: The Accidental Guru” by Danielle Sachs
• “Are You on Craig’s List?” by Katharine Mieszkowski
• “Everything I Thought I Knew About Leadership is Wrong by Mort Meyerson

As Jim Collins writes in his foreword: “Imagine you could sit at Thomas Jefferson’s dinner table and listen in on the conversation during the late 1700s. That’s the way I like to think of the best articles in Fast Company collected in this wonderful book. Reading them is like listening in on a series of fascinating conversations with some of the best minds and creative thinkers of a generation.”

This is the perfect book for Fast Company’s hundreds of thousands of devoted fans—and for others who missed these great articles the first time around.

Picked this up at the library. Love the mag. Should enjoy this collection.

Currently reading articles out of order, based on interest. I love the library.

[Lori Grant]

A should-read book on entrepreneurial success stories for the knowledge worker or aspiring entrepreneur.

[David Robins]

Some great articles. "The Brand Called You" was particularly good in terms of applicability, but others, like the story of Cirque du Soleil, were interesting for other reasons.
