He is also the author of Managing Softly: Learning From Buddha, Gandhi, Gracie. Bertrand’s third book Mode & Internet: le marketing épinglé, was highly welcomed by media, readers and libraries. His fourth book titled: The Inside story of the Web is travelling around the world, living an exciting book-crossing experience. The book peregrinates across the world, through states, continents and time zones. After reading it, readers from random cities leave their copy (on a public bench, in the train, in an airport etc.) so that another reader in turn takes it, reads it and leaves it somewhere. These readers talk about where they found the book and where they then left it on FrenchWeb. Thus, the journey of the work throughout its route is described. With the unveiling of his fifth book, Le Digital à Toutes les Sauces, allow him to don the apron of a master chef so that we may discover the true recipes of the success of digital. A real treat, indeed.
