Now a tradition, we are again listing out the year’s most popular books (according to the Amazon sales tracked by Exciting Commerce). Like last year, where one book dominated the charts (Rework: Change the Way You Work Forever), this year Jochen Krisch’s German language book “E-commerce for the Advanced” was a clear favourite.
Amongst the English language books, the most unusual was surely “The Art of Non-Conformity: Set Your Own Rules, Live the Life You Want, and Change the World”. Chris Guillebeau is following the footsteps of 4 hour man Timothy Ferriss.
Always popular are life stories such as “Delivering Happiness” (Tony Hsieh/Zappos), “One Click: Jeff Bezos and the Rise of Amazon” and “Steve Jobs: A Biography”.
