Marc Hershon and Jonathan Littman have been hard at work promoting their new book, I HATE PEOPLE!, Kick Loose from the Overbearing and Underhanded Jerks at Work and Get What You Want Out of Your Job. You may recognize Jonathan Littman for co-authoring a few 8CR favorites, The Art of Innovation, which is featured in the 100 Best, and The Ten Faces of Innovation which we've written about periodically over the years. The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek have both run reviews of the book, so feel free to check them out when you have a minute.
As a special offer, I will send a free copy of I HATE PEOPLE! to the first two people to shoot an email to aaron at 800ceoread dot com .

I don't know if your parents are like this, but my mom always sends a bag of stuff home with me whenever I visit. Most of the time, it is magazines she has finished reading (when I was in college, she would fill out all of those offers where you send in three proofs of purchase to get some free t-shirt and put my dorm address as the send-to).
In this week's bag was the Spring 2006 edition of BusinessWeek SmallBiz.
