Customer Review: Remove the examples from the book, and you have for the most part a collection of already known high level concepts without much depth. Granted, marketing does not have to be complicated and it should not be, but creating innovative products requires more than concepts. For example, the first step... more info
Customer Review: Great read, inspirational. But in a sea of to-do's--many reasonable and beneficial tweaks in lifestyle and thought--I found myself feeling like I was trying to be "sold" something. So in brainstorming/researching my "muse"--we all found ours because it's that easy, right guys?--I came to... more info
Customer Review: I have read the book and taken the test. While the concept is sound (focus and develop your strengths, do only damage control on your weaknesses), the test does not reveal anything that could be applicable to my work.

You can get some good advice out of most books, even if a little. But there is no perfect book that presents you a complete and... more info
Customer Review: It's basically about considering service - either to mankind or to customers - as your life's work. I didn't really get lots from this - it basically read like a magazine article or short speech padded out into a few more pages. Would probably work for your typical corporate hour long training... more info
Customer Review: I read this book and I enjoyed it so much that I purchase three more for some friends as a gift. This book really makes you evaluate yourself as a person and let you know that your attitude plays a very important role in our everyday lives. My first book from John C.
