"If there's any book I wish I had written, it is Ries's 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing, the bible for marketing. I've read it several times. I've listened to the audio while on my treadmill at least as many times. Once you've read Laws, you've got to read Focus — then read it again. And again. "

— Kendra, 1/18/2014" Watching Mad Men is far more entertaining "
— Kelli, 1/13/2014" Listened to this audiobook over 20 times. Best book on branding and positioning around. Some great stories and examples from real companies Al's worked with. Get the audiobook version. Its read by the author and he's the real deal. "
— Greg, 1/3/2014" A must-read book on branding for the knowledge worker, manager, executive, or entrepreneur. "
— Lori, 1/2/2014" good intro to branding in theoretical level ,but some concepts seems to be confusing. "
— Pritesh, 12/18/2013" Good book with 22 simple ways to build your brand. I think it is maybe not so close to the real practice things, but gives you an idea of the people's thinkign. "
— Svetlio, 12/17/2013" A great primer on the basics of branding. If you're new to marketing, or if marketing isn't your vocation, then this is a must read. "

This 22 immutable... book will teach you what the heck is branding and major mistakes to avoid. If you are looking for how to brand your business, this is it. I recommend this book. "
— mpingo, 8/17/2013" It was ok. Some of the stuff they say is questionable, and of course a lot has changed since the writing of this book. Most importantly I just feel like there has to be a better book to read about branding by now. "
— Malcolm, 8/10/2013" Reading it for the second time and I had to realise that even after more than 5 years it still makes me think "God they are so right!". It is so easy to follow through and the examples given are spot on. I strongly recommend it :) "
— Reka, 6/6/2013" Another great resource for branding. These laws are so basic yet so many "great" companies fail to follow them. This is a great read even if you aren't interested in business. "
— J., 5/21/2013" Good ideas but I was turned off by the dogma of defining hard and fast "immutable laws" for something so open ended as branding. Still worth reading though. "
— Jordan, 1/31/2013" A quick, concise, and useful take on turning the nominal into the phenomenal. Sure, I can't do much with "be the 1st in a new category" so they lost a couple of points there. However, to be fair, this is a high level approach that dips down frequently to give some nitty-gritty take-aways. "
