Customer Review: Light stuff, a bit of everything, hastily assembled for a quick buck while the credit crisis is still around. Niall Ferguson has stopped doing serious works for a long time, being too busy writing best-sellers.
Customer Review: The book is interesting, with some enlightening stories and amusing anecdotes. However, I take exception Mr. Gladwell's touting of the small-changes-can-lead-to-big-consequences 'butterfly effect' philosophy as if it were his own. Either he is not very well versed in the world of chaos... more info
Customer Review: Peter Schiff is a professional doomsayer who strongly makes the case that the American economy is going to hell in a hand basket. Fast. He lays out this case in his book, CRASH PROOF. Given the backdrop of recent months, it is hard to say he is wrong. The book came out @ February of 2007 so... more info
Customer Review: The book deserves attention, not necessarily for the qualities of the writer, but for introducing a biased opinion in the world that was supposed to pertain only to "un-opinionated" academics. Worth reading if you have an open mind, no matter of the direction chosen in career and life. It gives... more info
Customer Review: From what I have read of negative reviews here- most people who don't like the book don't like it because they disagree with it. The idea itself is quite controversial, and I'm not sure I fully agree with Gladwell, but the manner in which he presents it is entertaining and enjoyable to read. His... more info
Customer Review: This book is profoundly important because it provides detailed research-based insight into how and why certain people attain excellence in all fields of endeavor. The short answer is that one must work and practice quite hard for many years, ideally starting from a young age, in a deliberate... more info
Customer Review: Covey is a classic just as this book is. He's a true Guru. Just buy the book and work the plan. You will not go wrong. It's not a lot of "cheerleading" and motivational fluff. It's a plan of action from the first to the last page. If you follow it - your life will change.
Customer Review: I am always looking for ways to be more productive. Being left-handed I became interested in this book when I saw the sub-title "Why Right-Brainers Will Rule The World". I thought: "finally, my day has come!". What I found was not quite a "recipe book" for success but rather a new and different... more info
Customer Review: GTD is a great book. I've read it cover to cover. Now, I'm re-reading it slower and implementing many of David Allen's tips. I highly recommend the book for anyone struggling to keep up with their busy lives. This book will pay off for you. Buy it, read it, do it.
Customer Review: If you've been in the same job for years with no hope of promotion, no feeling of improvement, and general dissatisfaction it is likely you are not doing a job you are actually good at. Figuring out what our own personal strengths are is the key to a long and happy career.
