Customer Review: Some people criticize this as being simplistic, but I think that's what's good about the book. YOu read the tales and say "Oh, well of course." This should be required reading for anyone working in corporate America, or even athletes!
The context of this book is spot on for parents nurturing developing young minds. We need to really move away from the old way of thinking (L-Directed thinking), and encourage the next generation to have an open approach to learning and leading. We need to grow the next generation of leaders... more info
Customer Review: If this book were wine it would be Mad Dog 20/20. If it were beer it would be Pabst Blue Ribbon. Actually, I can't do that to Pabst Blue Ribbon. Pabst is way better than this book. This book is shallow. Nothing wrong with shallowness if you have dynamic interesting content to go with it... more info
Customer Review: I can't say enough about the potential of this book to change your life. Covey lays out the 7 habits in an easy-to-read manner and thoroughly explains them.

Customer Review: Wow! I've been picking up clues on this work in Marcus Buckingham's books and interviews. It is an analysis of meta studies (a meta-meta study) of outstanding performance across fields ranging from musical performance (violin), to musical composition (Mozart) to chess, tennis, golf, business, and... more info
Customer Review: Looking for a little leadership inspiration, I picked up Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us by Seth Godin. It's a small book, just 147 short pages. There are no chapters, per se, just boldface headlines introducing different anecdotes and concepts. It's basically an easy, light read. Godin asserts... more info
Customer Review: This is not the classical book, on how the brain works.
It's written in a language that avoids complexity and jargon, but it will make the concepts strike home.
I'm planning to pass it on to my kids when I'm finish with it.
Customer Review: The format of illustrating the points of self deception by telling a story was very effective for me. I found the book easy to read and follow. It was so good, I am going to read it a second time so that the points will stick. I also read The Anatomy of Peace. It's good to read both in... more info
