Review:I personally like Pink's style of starting with showing the readers what the research says (various experiments), conclude, draw what the implications are for us. I think Pink's books are always well researched and easy to read. However I must say towards the end of "To Sell is Human" I found his style getting a bit monotonous - same pattern of presentation. I would have liked to read more about what Pink himself thinks about the Attunement, Buoyancy, Clarity pattern and how he applies it to his... Read more

Review:I appreciated the practicality of the information. Anyone can use it for their personal schedule but the information can be used in a much broader context, on the company or even societal level, to help us to be happier and more productive people. Read more

Review:Written in the "olden days" of the Internet (i.e. late 1990s), Randy Komisar's "The Monk and the Riddle" is a classic with a timeless message: there's a fundamental difference between passion and drive. The latter is what propels type A personalities to succeed at anything they undertake. The former is more visceral and personal; it is something that you genuinely love and would be happy "to do for the rest of your life."

Komisar, my good friend and mentor (full disclosure), conveys his... Read more

Anyone planning a career in management needs to understand power--how to get ... Read more

Review:Just think that sections for individuals and groups need to be segregated more definitively. Let readers go into group-related content when they want to, instead of making them go through tons of redundant content just to find a couple of relevant paragraphs. Read more

Review:This "book" is mainly a collection of quotes most of which are not original and/or are derivate work from known quotes.
The selection of quotes is not even good. There are many more quotes on achievement or success that are more powerful.
Also, some of the quotes underline a whining attitude and resentment versus bosses and leaders.
Leaders of corporations are there to CREATE VALUE and deliver results for the shareholders that employ them and in doing so they employ (and remunerate) pe... Read more
