The Four Best Posters from The 100 Best Business Books of All Time
By Porchlight
We're really ratcheting it up for the ole book launch, which is one week from today. As part of the rolling out, we've commissioned four artists (I'm one) to develop four posters based on four choice passages from The 100 Best. They are all gorgeous (I think I'm allowed to say that) and they're very reasonably priced at $12.

Recommended Reading From The First 90 Days
By Porchlight
In the book The First 90 Days, Michael Watkins talks about how the President of the United States gets 100 days to prove himself, but you are given 90 days in your new job. He states that the first three months can be a make or break time. Watching the inaugural yesterday led me back to this book.
