Here is a list of some of the best books I read this year, there’s no particular order and I like all the books and this are very different books.

Six Pixels of Separation: Everyone Is Connected. Connect Your Business to Everyone by Mitch Joel (@mitchjoel )

“Six Pixels of Separation” by Mitch Joel  is a good starting point to businesspeople  understand the importance of social media and how to succeed in a Web 2.0 world. The book is good for does starting in the social media world. If you are not a beginner this is probably not the book for you, although is always good get a different point of view.

Trust Agents: Using the Web to Build Influence, Improve Reputation, and Earn Trust by Chris Brogan (@chrisbrogan) & Julien Smith (@julien)

This book don’t need an introduction. If you want to make it online or in real life, this book is a must have. It explains how “trust” is the new currency. I also got few ideas in how to start in the online world.  In the last couple of weeks I saw few tweets from Chris talking about a new book they are starting to prepare, so I’ll recommend to follow these guys in twitter. (I just saw a tweet by Julien saying “Watching the old Thomas Crown Affair”, so you see all good stuff lol ).

‘Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion’ by Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee)

This book was allover the internet, and it’s very popular. This is a good read, is short, fun and direct to the point, putting all that together with all the videos that Gary have in his website makes this guy a most follow if you want to get tips all the time. All the things Gary do online can be reduced to one word “hustle“. Very nice book to give as a gift even for people that don’t read too often will read it with no problems. I had five books in my hands unfortunately none was signed by Gary. I bought three books (I got a wristband), I won the other two in couple of online contest, I gave it to my sisters and I’ll send one to Germany to a friend.

Who’s Got Your Back The Breakthrough Program to Build Deep, Trusting Relationships That Create Success–and Won’t Let You Fail by Keith Ferrazzi (@KeithFerrazzi)

Keith Ferrazzi The master of networking and the author of “Never Eat Alone“. He explains in this book the idea of finding three people in your life that can push, help and will give you advise that will help you succeed, base in a trusted relationship. I like the concept and is good read.
Fact: I created my twitter account earlier this year, but I was inactive until I assisted to conference with Keith Ferrazzi and he was tweeting in the conference and he recommended twitter, after that day my use of twitter was increasing every day, and I kinda annoying everybody 24/7.

So, what do you think? any books you have read this year that you can recommend to me?
