Libert, in late 2010, wrote his fifth book on the value of social networks and on-line communities, interactions and communications in organizations. The book - Social Nation - was published by John Wiley & Sons. His basic premise is that it is time for all organizations and their leaders to treat their employees and customers, partners and investors, the way they treat their friends, families and neighbors in order to help their constituents achieve their full potential and in so doing, their own. This book and its reviews can be found at http://www.amazon.com/Social-Nation-Customers-Motivate-Employees/dp/047059926X/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.

Libert is also the author of more than 10 e-books on the value of crowdsourcing, opensourcing and word of mouth marketing. These titles can be found at http://www.amazon.com/Barry-Libert/e/B001H6MZB8/ref=sr_tc_img_2_0?qid=1286495110&sr=1-2-ent.

In 2007, Libert co-authored the book We Are Smarter Than Me with Jon Spector using the Wiki-based contributions of more than 4,000 people to illustrate how businesses can profit from the wisdom of crowds. Prior to publishing We Are Smarter Than Me, Libert also published Value Rx: How to Make the Most of Your Organization's Assets and Relationships (2001) and Cracking the Value Code: How Successful Businesses Are Creating Wealth in the New Economy (2000).

Libert’s fourth book, Barack, Inc.: Winning Business Lessons of the Obama Campaign, was published in January 2009. The book describes Barack Obama’s election campaign as a business model that encourages corporate leaders to embrace change and social technologies.

Libert holds a B.A. from Tufts University and an M.B.A. from Columbia University. He currently resides in Boston with his wife and two sons.
