Business ethics and behavior expert Dov Seidman’s New York Times bestseller How: Why HOW We Do Anything Means Everything, is now available on audio in its new expanded edition.
The flood of information, unprecedented transparency, increasing interconnectedness—and our global interdependence—are dramatically reshaping today’s world, the world of business, and our lives. We are in the Era of Behavior and the rules of the game have fundamentally changed. It is no longer what you do that matters most and sets you apart from others, but how you do what you do. “Whats” are commodities, easily duplicated or reverse-engineered. Sustainable advantage and enduring success for organizations and the people who work for them now lie in the realm of how, the new frontier of conduct.
For almost two decades, Dov Seidman’s pioneering organization, LRN, has helped some of the world’s most respected companies build “do it right,” winning cultures and inspire principled performance throughout their organizations. Seidman’s distinct vision of the world, business, and human endeavor has helped enable more than 15 million people doing business in more than 120 countries to outbehave the competition. In HOW: Why HOW We Do Anything Means Everything, Dov Seidman shares his unique approach with you. Now updated and expanded, How includes a new preface from Dov Seidman on why how we behave, lead, govern, operate, consume, engender trust in our relationships, and relate to others matters more than ever and in ways it never has before.
Through entertaining anecdotes, surprising case studies, cutting-edge research in a wide range of fields, and revealing interviews with a diverse group of leaders, business executives, experts, and everyday people on the front lines, this book explores how we think, how we behave, how we lead, and how we govern our institutions and ourselves to uncover the values-inspired “hows” of twenty-first-century success and significance.

"It's a pretty good combination 'self-help/business motivation and entertaining read' all wrapped in one. Any book that starts with the origins of "The Wave" (think MSG) is worth checking out in my opinion."
— Dan (4 out of 5 stars)

— Former Chief Learning Officer, Goldman Sachs and former head of leadership development at GE, Steve Kerr“In How, Dov Seidman takes the idea of ‘success’ even further, redefining it as a quest for significance. Isn’t that what we all really want? To have a positive impact, to make a difference, to excel? To do that you have to achieve significance, and Seidman brilliantly shows you how. This book will change your life in profound ways.”

— meo, 12/26/2013" Obvious message. Incredibly redundant; author relies heavily on cliche analogies. Could have been a 100-page book, and would have been much, much better. "

— Mary, 6/29/2013" So-so -- some good ideas but the author puts too much ego in the narrative. "

— Kate, 10/5/2012" Excellent central idea, a little repetitive in the later chapters, but well worth reading all the way through. "
