Hello Sellers! 😊
We all know that knowledge is one of the keys to success, and one of the best ways to get knowledge are the books, these can be a powerful tool to learn and grow.
I want to invite you to participate in a discussion and share to us about books that have helped you grow your businesses and be successful in the Seller world.
I would love to hear your recommendations, but to start, I want to share a couple of books that I personally find valuable:
Eric Ries: "The Lean Startup": This book helps you understand the importance of agility and iteration in the business development process. Learn how to validate ideas quickly and efficiently, minimizing risks and maximizing opportunities for success.
Tim Ferriss: "The 4-Hour Work week": This book changes your perspective on work and lifestyle. It helps you focus on the tasks that really matter and automate processes to free up time and energy for what you are really passionate about.
I look forward to hearing your recommendations and sharing experiences about how books have positively impacted your businesses! Don't hesitate to join and share your top reads!

Absolute troll level behaviour. I imagine all those sellers impacted by the repricer issue yesterday are happy to be focussing on that.

Just out of interest, and you may not want to or even be allowed to answer this question (which is fine !), but as an Amazon employee, are you allowed to run another business ? - or maybe you also sell on Amazon ?

Tarka the Otter.
On the Beach.
Or any dystopian novel that I have to hand...

Many moons ago in the early days of Ebay, all their staff were encouraged to have seller accounts and sell as much as possible. On the forums you could tell who was an Ebay employee and what they were selling. I doubt much of that happens any more, I've certainly not seen any evidence of it.
I have come across the odd Amazon employee who has been a seller but the last one I recall had a managerial/sales job and that was a few years ago.

I'm self editing my sarcastic response to an Amazon employee putting that as an influential book.
I'll add a sensible response to the thread instead.
Seth Godin's "Purple Cow" is a good book on marketing.

I often use these books when dealing/interacting with Amazon, as Amazon is an oak and not a willow which bends in the wind.
1) The Little Book Of Luck Richard Wiseman
2) The Beginner`s Guide To Stoicism Van Natta
3) How to Be More Paddington: A Book of Kindness by Michael Bond
4) Paul McKenna has written a book specifically on anxiety called Freedom From Anxiety
5) 9 Types of Difficult People: How to Spot Them and Quickly Improve Working Relationships by Nick Robinson
6) The Art of War by Sun Tzu is a timeless classic on strategy and tactics. It's not just about warfare; its principles can be applied to various aspects of life, including business and personal challenges.
7) How to Manage a Narcissist by Manfred F.R. Kets de Vries

It would be much better if you worked with the "concerned team" to fix COO, GPSR and responsible person. Honestly Amazon we dont need this sort of nonense, we need a functioning and helpful seller support team, and acknowedgement that there are significant bugs in your system and that you are taking action to actually fix them. This is like Basil Fawlty preaching at church.
