Review:This is a book that delivers more than it promises. Annie Duke teaches us how to set aside many of our pre-conceived notions about positive and negative outcomes. She provides us with a framework to accept either result derived from the countless decisions we make in business and in our private everyday lives.
The titles for each chapter and subheading inspire the reader to hunker down and examine life through the prism of a poker player champion. How would each important decision be mad... Read more

Review:This book was suggested during a webinar. After reading the first chapter online, I couldn't wait to get it in my hands. It has not disappointed. The information is perhaps what I already knew but with direct methods and candid humor. I love that it wasn't a dry business manual but rather a "walk with me while we explore how you can be the best business owner EVER." I will suggest this to my clients as well as anyone who has ever dreamed of being a business owner. I've ordered the previous book,... Read more

Review:The Water Thief is a dystopian novel about a future where the corporation is the dominant organization on the planet. Your life is the sum total of your value to a corporation and everyone tries to maximize their value by ruthlessly competing with everyone else- family, friends, co-workers. The beauty of the book is that even though the premise may sound far fetched, in actuality there are many similarities with what is happening in the world today. Take the idea that a company can buy your '... Read more

Review:I have a passion for gaming history books, I think I have read most of the good ones on this topic. Console Wars easily classifies among the top 3/top 5 I have ever read. Well written, full of small anecdotes and deeper analysis as well it really tells the Sega Vs Nintendo tale in a fascinating tale. True, it is much more Sega oriented compared to the pages dedicated Nintendo or other competitors but if you have even the slightest interest in the gaming industry and its history this is a must re...

Review:Naomi Klein has summed it all up. There definitely is a lot of history to go through, but it is so interesting and keeps your interest all the way through. It is far from a personal perspective on Global and Domestic Shock Economics. She backs up everything with citations from a multitude of sources, worldwide. Her allusions and similes based on hard facts scared the hell out of me of what the government has been capable of over the past 60 years.

It seems like she has "outed" the Shock... Read more

Review:I didn't know a whole lot (read: anything) about the platform business model before reading this book. But I sure do now. Wow.

The main premise of the book is that platforms are currently the best way to organize companies, and author Moazed spends a lot of time describing how they work. Basically, platforms--like eBay, Amazon, Facebook, iTunes, SnapChat, etc.--move beyond the the linear business model (where products move through suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and THEN customer...

Review:Although this book was required for my intro MBA class, I would highly recommend this as a casual read for those business people who want to improve their organizations. Senge's concepts change your way of thinking, and make you look at the world a little different. Plus it was extremely affordable at only $17. I will read this book again. And probably again.

Review:This is a superb book with an audacious goal – what can organizations and their leaders learn from other organizations like Zappos, Pixar, the New Zealand All-Blacks, the San Antonio Spurs, and SEAL Team Six, to name just a few? And if not quite scientific, the methodology Coyle employs is an objective and heartfelt search for pattern.

I admit that I bought this book with a fair amount of skepticism. Having spent four decades attempting to lead organizations in one capacity or another I h... Read more
