He's the author of the New York Times best seller Love is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends and the just-released The Likeability Factor: How to Boost Your L-Factor & Achieve Your Life's Dreams. Both books reveal the challenges we face with our business and personal relationships; they also show us how we can repair and renew them.

Tim's quest is spreading the message that nice smart people do finish first.

In addition, Tim has recenlty appeared on numerous national and local TV networks including NBC, Fox News Channel, CNN, and Court TV, as well as being featured in TIME Magazine, Family Circle, The New York Times, Glamour Magazine and countless industry and internet newsletters.
