800-CEO-READ's 2015 Bestsellers
January 06, 2016
It's been another record year for us here at 800-CEO-READ. These are the books we moved the most in 2015.
It's been another record year for us here at 800-CEO-READ, and an all-around great year for business books in general. As always, we owe so much (if not all) of our own success to the wonderful authors we work with, and all the individuals who go to work every day to edit, design, publish, and promote their books.
Our founder and president, Jack Covert, once wrote that “All ideas have a life cycle. They are born, live, and die, and new ideas are needed to replace them. The challenge of being creative is timeless.” That is apparent in the growth of the business book genre. We continue to see the industry expand its horizons and areas of interest, embrace new ideas and begin to challenge others, while at the same time still bringing the nuts-and-bolts basics, direct applicability, and immediately actionable insights the business community expects of it.
As we do at the end of every month, we have complied the books that we shipped the most throughout all of 2015 to give a glimpse into what new ideas are making their way through our warehouse (and our suppliers' warehouses) and into organizations, conferences, and the minds of business people around the world. The following books are the ones we shipped with the greatest frequency, and in the greatest number overall, to help spread ideas, solve problems, promote change, and inspire leaders in 2015.
These are 800-CEO-READ's Bestsellers of 2015.
