Badvertising: An Expose of Insipid, Insufferable, Ineffective Advertising by Jim Morris Jim Morris has been responsible for some of the most memorable ad campaigns in history. He knows best that bad ads don't just create themselves. Part indictment on the advertising industry, part cautionary tale on what not to do with your ads, Jim pulls no punches to better advertising people everywhere. How can the ad industry even exist when almost all of the products that it produces fall on a continuum from flawed to failed? What is it about this industry and the process of creating, selling, and producing ads that cause so much advertising to be so bad? These are the questions answered in Badvertising. A provocative, truth-to-power exposé of ad agencies' flaws, foibles, and failings—and why they matter to the consumer and to those in the business. Morris, an advertising legend known as "Tagline Jim," surveys myriad advertising "agents of stupidity." Hilarious, horrifying, and insightful, each chapter is a grenade lobbed into America's ad bunkers. Badvertising is a candid, never-seen-before accumulation of real-world don'ts and more don'ts, providing valuable cautionary tales of advertising's stupid side.

You're Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence by Jon Levy Regardless of what you want to accomplish, from growing your business, creating a great company culture, championing a social cause, or affecting your habits, you can't do it alone. The people around you define your success (whatever that means for you) and they have the potential to change the course of your life. That's what You're Invited is about: The most universal strategy for success is creating meaningful connections with those who can impact you, your life, and the things you care about. But how do you make those connections and build trust quickly? What do you do if you're introverted or hate networking? Behavioral scientist Jon Levy had no money, reputation or status, but was able to convince groups of Nobel Laureates, Olympians, celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, and even an occasional princess to not only give him advice, but cook him dinner, wash his dishes, sweep his floors, and then thank him for the experience. The goal of his gatherings, much like this book, was not networking, but building meaningful and lasting relationships. This private community based around the dinner experience became known as "The Influencers," named for the member's success and industry influence. Since its inception more than a decade ago, The Influencers has grown into the largest private group of its kind worldwide, with a thriving community both in person and through digital experiences. In You're Invited, Levy guides readers through the art and science of creating deep and meaningful connections with anyone, regardless of their stature or celebrity, and demonstrates how we develop influence, gain trust, and build community so that we can impact our communities and achieve what's important to us.
