Steven's is especially ringing well in my head. I think it might actually shift the book from the Humor or Sociology sections of a bookstore into somewhere in Business (Marketing?) which might not be a bad thing. It would fit well with books like "The Power of Small." I like both suggestions. Steven’s is especially ringing well in my head.
