Published Books

Business Without the Bullsh*t

This Amazon bestseller is an essential survival guide to the business world. Available in English, German and Portuguese. 

  • "James' humor and practical wisdom makes every page a joy to read.” — Robert I. Sutton, Stanford Professor, author of The No Asshole Rule, and co-author of Scaling Up Excellence.
  • "BWTB is ethical without being preachy, aspirational without being sappy, practical while still crackling with the author's natural wit. 5.0 out of 5 stars.” — Rich Karlgaard, Publisher of Forbes
  • “Relevant for leaders or employees of any generation, this is a quick, impactful primer for anyone wanting to be more effective on the job.” — Publishers Weekly

Business Wisdom of the Electronic Elite

I spent months interviewing dozens of high-tech billionaires like Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Stan Shih, and top venture capitalists like Ann Windblad and Mitchell Kurtzmann to determine exactly how their companies changed the business world and the world around it.. 


Published in seven languages, and a best-seller in Japan, this book was revised and republished in paperback as Success Secrets of Silicon Valley and as a hardback with extra international content as Giant Killers.

The Tao of Programming

Often called a classic of computer humor and frequently quoted in serious texts, the Tao of Programming shows how programmers achieve enlightenment. Some quotes:

  • "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless."
  • "I don't know whether I am Turing dreaming that I am a machine, or a machine dreaming that I am Turing!"
  • "But how will I know when I have received Enlightenment?" asked the novice.
    "Your program will run correctly," replied the Master.

Translated and still in print in China, rated 4.1 on Goodreads with 310 ratings. It has two sequels:

The Zen of Programming and Computer Parables.

Other Business Books

  • How to Say It: Business to Business Selling: I convinced over a dozen top sales and marketing gurus to mentor me on their most effective sales and marketing techniques. Truly an eye-opening experience and a fun book to write.
  • Document Databases:  In my my first post-college corporate job, I won two engineering awards for creating an online help generation method that saved millions of dollars. Based on that R&D, I wrong this book, one of the first to correctly predicted the Internet, online publishing, and desktop publishing. 

Early Works

I took my degree in English, Magna Cum Laude, at the University of California, where I majored in Renaissance Literature. My post-graduate word was later published in three books, Enochian Evocation (Weiser), Angel Magic (Llewellyn) and Sorcerer: A Novel of Queen Elizabeth's Alchemist (Grand Mal Press).  

NOTE:

Some idiot is using my name to publish AI-written books -- wrenched things all of them -- under my name. Any book that is not listed above is not by me. The photographer Geoffrey James has published several gorgeous art books of his work; that's not me either, but damn that guy has talent.
