Brown's Ten Commandments of Branding offer a concise roadmap of dos and don'ts for brand success! [The book] devotes chapters to the components of brands (logos, names), their roles (they tell stories), their lives (brands are alive!), etc. Along with offering helpful reading lists at the end of each chapter, [and] "brand task" exercises to get you to think about brands from a variety of perspectives. One of my favorite passages is his overview of Robert Cialdini's views on persuasion and how they are relevant to brands.
