Authentic Social Media

We are very into books here at Authentic Blogging. The way they sit in your hand, by your bedside. The way you can hold them up and pass them to each other to share.

There are several books that have been a major inspiration for our approach to blogging and other social media. Their wisdom and examples have been synthesized into our own experiences blogging and teaching blogging, and just living in the world, doing business, participating in dialogue.

Here they are:

Naked Conversations - no surprises there

Cluetrain Manifesto - or there

The New Rules of Marketing & PR - or there

The Artist’s Way - recovering your creative self

Writing Down the Bones - connecting with your passion and truth

On Dialogue - connecting with your own and the truth of others, towards evolving high level, progressive answers to any human problems or opportunities - from war in the middle east to how to sell a widget

On Becoming - self education in the fullest sense of the word

Authentic Blogging (in development right here and now… join the conversation!) - coming out in 2009 under a mainstream imprint (think Gladwell and Co.)

Read our free e-book on the Essence of Authentic Blogging to find links to these books and quotes that bring it all together. Blogging for purpose and pleasure. For personal and professional growth and enterprise success. For entering the new communications paradigm with authenticity and strength, engaging and participating, connecting with your self and your world as you grow.

Starting with the self and radiating out from the there.
