Hi Chris - Great video review. I especially liked your comment about how Gary gets away with his "self promotion".

That got me thinking. I personally run a mile from hype and self promoters, yet I could not put Gary's book down. I loved it. Go figure right?

It is indeed a "shot in the arm", certainly worth reading.

Chris, thanks for the review of Crush It. Your opioon means a lot. I have truly enjoyed your book Trust Agent so your review of Crush It holds a lot of water! Looking forward to receiving my copy.

You said, "Pluck off of that" right? Just checking. Cool story about how I came to buy this book today: Gary tweets "If you're thinking of buying the book but haven't done so yet, email me". I email him to say that I read the free chapter PDF and I'm still on the fence (having already bought "Trust Agents" this week, "Tribes" the week before and "PR 2.0: Putting the Public Back in Public Relations" the week before).

He says, "Don't buy it if you don't want to, but thanks any way for taking the time to consider it".

Guess what...I bought it.

Once again, just being genuine, authentic and real helped Gary V. close one more sale.

not everyone loves Gary... he has plenty of haters. in fact , he has anti-Gary-wine-reviewers out there... but he addresses those folks by embracing them and he respects their opinions, THAT is why he is loved. Guess you guys don't really follow him that much eh?

I'm a little confused about what the book is about. You said how it made/makes you feel, but didn't really talk about the specific content/thesis.

Thanks for introducing Gary to me. I read an excerpt of his book and it's just what I need. I ordered one.

Can't wait to read Gary's book.

Chris, loved your line: "He's the #1 self-promoting guy that people don't hate" - So true.

Chris -

Gary is such a cool guy. I interviewed him last night and he was a trooper.

I hear you loud and clear! How did Lucas manage to hire such AWESOME actors back in the day and you can't watch the 'new' movies without wincing.

BTW I hope this fanboy convo doesn't take away from Gary's book. It truly is special and Gary's well worth the attention I subscribe to his personal blog. I've never been a huge fan of winelibrary but his keynotes, business videos are must see web TV. I only offer one caveat he is coming from a multi-million $$$ business and is not starting 'from scratch' w/ only hustle although he does work hard. Besides that you can't help yourself but believe in his principles.

It's awkward to watch Gary in the bathroom. Problem SOLVED with the book. : )

Okay, let me address the Star Wars thing.

YOU might think Episode 1,2,3 exist. I'm here to tell you that they don't. Some alternate universe created those. EVERYTHING starts at 4. And so 4 is 1.

That is all. < / crazy>

Okay, I ordered the book Crush It! and looking forward to whatz in store for my brain once I get to read it. I've learned so much just from skimming your tweets, blogs and tapping into a few of the people you refer to that I ought to really get enlightened with this book.

Oh, and I really dig that painting behind you in the video!

Excited,
Bernard

I wonder if this book will be as good as Matrix 1 was.... if so, I may read it about 20 times and find something new and and amazing every time I read it!

I really dig these video reviews you are doing, Chris. I've actually bought a couple of books based on your video reviews!

I'm looking forward to reading Gary V's book soon as it arrives here at headquarters. The thing about Gary is that while he does promote his business a lot, he also spreads the love by talking about his passions, other people, and other blogs / web sites. He has that X Factor which makes him fun to watch and inspirational to listen to.

So what you're saying is if you've ever seen Gary speak at an event before, you've probably heard what he has to say in this book? I too am looking forward to book #2.

Good point: how is it that he's the most self-promotional guy ever but everyone loves him? That's worth examining, I think.

Hey Chris I love you bro but 'Star Wars' did actually start in the middle of the series.

Never thought my first comment on your blog would be so dorky but hey if it got me off the bench :)

Chris,

Great video and super cool that you shot it on my set. I love the simplicity of the review and I'm about half way through the book.

Keep rocking,
David

I've been listening to Gary for quiet a bit now. Does the book offer anything different than the advice he gives in his videos?

Really - Gary's got a book coming out?!?

I'm working on my second book. The first one is too hard to write. :-)

October 13 Apparently books need to be aged just like wine....
