Re: Book on business & Primate Behavior (mystery)

[caligali]

In the last year or so a book came out which drew an analogy between the assertive and even aggressive behavior of successful businessmen and primate behavior. I thought it was very interesting at the time and forgot to get it, and now I can't find it, despite several Google and Amazon searches.

Anyone know what this book is? I'm pretty sure it's a book and not a film, though the film ad for the book showed (I think it was) Steve Jobs pounding his chest -- so to speak -- on stage.

Thanks!

That may be it; I'm not sure, but I'll get that one. Thank you!

Here's the video on CSPAN:

...but it's rather dull. What I remember seeing is a short video with (I think it was) Steve Jobs, pacing back and forth across the stage. This was supposed to illustrate the point of the book.

LOL! I found that CSPAN video too while I was searching for the book, and started listening to it and . . . started to . . . nod off . . .

I looked for the Steve Jobs commercial, but didn't find anything.

If it's not the same book, it still looks interesting.

Thank you for looking. I really do think it was Steve Jobs. And then there were some other businessmen.

Wish I'd gotten the book (if it was a book), when it came out.

You're welcome, it is fun for me to search for mystery things.
