10 new audio titles have been added to the library. There are a number of exciting new titles being released over the next few months and we’ll add them to the library just as soon as we can get our hands on them! Have a suggestion for a title, or a ‘type’ of title? Email us!
Here are two examples. One of the titles from this month is ‘Talent is Overrated’ – a client employee suggestion and a great fit to the library. Late last year we had a request for ‘titles that would help me learn new words/vocabulary’. What a great idea! A few months later the vocab titles are some of our most popular. Keep the ideas coming.
The titles are:
Failing Forward: Turning Mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success – Thomas Nelson
Enough: True Measures of Money, Business, and Life - Highbridge
Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else

DVD's, Podcasts, or Online Video?
For the past few months we’ve had a poll on most of the library homepages asking whether you’d like us to focus on adding more DVDs, Online Video, or Podcasts. Well the results are in and it’s…..a tie! Overwhelming support was given to two of the options – DVD’s and Podcasts.
So today we’ve added 14 more DVD’s – including some more workout videos, a number of pregnacy fitness/health videos, and some cooking DVD’s. Please let us know what you think and what else you’d like to see added!
We’re currently working on adding Podcasts – that’s a larger project but we’re on the case. Podcasts are exciting because it will allow us to point people towards material that just isn’t available in an audiobook.
Here are the DVD’s we added. All of them have been added to the DVD category (clever, we know) and to the New titles For 2008. Enjoy!

Yesterday we sent out our November newsletter to almost every one of our subscribers. Obviously that generates a big rush of orders, and we’re always amazed at the variety of titles that get ordered. Here’s a few examples just from yesterday:
- Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make The Leap…And Others Don’t
- Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being Happy from the Inside Out
- A Beginner’s Guide to Meditation
- How to Talk so Kids Will Listen…And Listen So Kids Will Talk
- Death By Meeting: A Leadership Fable
- Developing The Leaders Around You
- You: The Owner’s Manual
I think the lesson to take away from all these orders is the importance of having a broad range of employee development resources (and having a broad definition of ‘employee development’.) Every company in America is made up of employees just like the ones who ordered these titles.

We added 32 DVDs to Cultivate today. (bringing our total title count over 300!) Most of these are in the Fitness, Wellness, and Parenting categories. While audio for the commute will continue to be our main focus, many people have been asking for workout and fitness DVD’s. We think it’s a great way to improve the selection of our wellness, fitness, and parenting sections.
When you log on there is now a category called ‘DVDs’ (clever, we know.) Let us know what you think, and what areas you’d like to see added!

Derek Sivers is the founder of a website called CDbaby.com – a site to purchase music from independent musicians. He has an interesting post on his blog about whether musicians should bother producing a hard-copy CD, or just go completely digital (the short story is that they should absolutely produce a CD.)
To make his point even clearer he ends with a great story about his visit with Apple to talk about getting some of the CDBaby material better placement on iTunes. Here’s the story…
When visiting Apple iTunes, I had lunch with the guy who’s in charge of independent music editorial – the one who chooses who gets featured placement.
I asked him, “What’s the best way for me to turn you on to something I think you’ll love?”
His answer? “Send me the CD.”
I said, “Uh.. really? What if it’s already on iTunes? Shouldn’t I just send you the link?”
He said, “Yeah. I commute an hour each way to Apple’s office. I do all my real listening in the car, so I need the CD.”
(The whole post is here: http://sivers.org/dd-only )
That’s exactly what we’ve found with Cultivate – the majority of people listen in their car, and in those cases the CD is usually easier to deal with than an ipod. In our case CD’s let you reach everyone in your organization.
