Special thanks to Katy Alexander—ZingTrain Community Builder—for putting this together! The book links will take you to the ZingTrain site to order your pamphlets, books, seminars, or online training!
Zingerman’s Co-founder, Ari Weinzweig, has been writing about our business practices and philosophies for over 20 years! His books explore everything from the importance of staff orientation to reframing one’s beliefs about business.
With such a range of possibilities, some of the first questions we get when people browse our bookstore are often:
“What should I buy?”
“What do you recommend?”
“What’s the biggest bang for my buck?”
Here’s how four of us would go about answering these questions for you!
Zingerman’s Guide to Giving Great Service
At Zingerman’s, everyone gets a copy of this book. For new employees, it really helps break down what great service looks like in practice with lots of tips and examples that they can relate to. Use this book to get inspired, help train your staff, and delight your customers!

A Lapsed Anarchist’s Approach to Being a Better Leader
Being a Better Leader has helped me become a more thoughtful, empathetic, and collaborative leader. It challenges the traditional top-down model of leadership to encourage leaders to empower others rather than control them. I find myself rereading this book often!

Bottom Line Change
I reach for this pamphlet each time I need to work through a change. It truly helps me communicate all the necessary information to bring others on board with making the change actually happen – and stick!

Humility: A Humble, Anarchistic Inquiry
With this pamphlet, Ari changed how I see humility. It’s not about feeling small – it’s about pushing past your ego to show up with curiosity and ease. We’re living in divisive times. You can start practicing humility right now to help break down fear and reconnect us to one another.

P.S. This pamphlet is also available in our Leading With Humility bundle.
If none of these recommendations are calling your name, we encourage you to reach out to us! We would love to play matchmaker for your next summer read. 
When you come to ZingTrain, you can shop from an even greater selection, and read up on every ZingTrain-ers staff pick! Among Ari’s books, you’ll also find authors who have inspired our thinking and helped us develop the frameworks that we live and teach across our organization.
