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

Review:This book is freakin' awesome! I am a certified personal trainer & high school track coach. I am using this to shake up my own routine, but also to add alternative workouts for my athletes. It's a good read & full of sage advice. This works you out from the inside out. Read more

Review:I picked up this book at a used book sale hoping it would provide some new insights into my codependent family. I somehow missed the fact that it was going to point everything back to the authors' religious beliefs. There was a lot of great information in the first half or so of the book, but the closer I got to the end of it, the more they harped on using Christian beliefs as a tool in the recovery process. For those who are Christians, I'm sure this is a very helpful approach... but I had a pr... Read more

Review:Many of the concepts in this book reminded me of thoughts from How I found Freedom in an Unfree World. I have looked for that book, but it’s out of print and crazy expensive. Great logic on personal responsibility for your own happiness. Read more

Review:I found the ideas In there very similar to how I work as a crowd controller supervisor. It has given me more direction on how to refine my communication skills when dealing with the public as well as family members.
Love it Read more

Review:I just read this book, and it changed my world views on a lot of stuff. As an example, he talks about CONTROLLING your space, and he gives an example of someone who wants a better career. She brings home stuff to read, and it never gets looked at. Why? Because she designed her space to be a HUGE entertainment center. 65" Monitor, sound systems, subscriptions to NETFLIX and HBO right there in the main living space. He explains that all this entertainment is there by DEFAULT, she could not avoid i... Read more

Review:The author is apparently a narcissist by all means. The whole book smells like that all your ordinary people are stupid and she is the very God that can save you. I don't know how she manages to enjoy such a tired life so many years. Like the cruise example in chapter 10, her suggestions about all those questions to ask the trip organizer, i.e. the lady in the church, reflect extreme self-center personality and lack of social skills. They don't even care whether she would go or not, just being p... Read more

Review:Beautiful book with great, tasty and kid approved recipes.
I'm not a natural cook and frankly I'd prefer to buy something ready to go, but even I've managed to successfully make several of these recipes! Read more

Review:Super frustrated because the distribution says it comes with the COGLAB which I need for my class. We are poor enough and strapped for time already being in college. The last thing we need is "trusted" sites like this taking advantage of us. Make the description clearer. I will be returning this. Read more

Review:I like this book a lot more than I though I would. It appeared by the title and cover photo that it would be watered-down psychology, but the author is legit and knows his stuff. A great intro psyche text, full of in-text citations and reference lists if you're interested to research in further detail.

Only qualms are that chapters get a little long-winded, and there is a little bit of a corny undertone at times, probably meant to keep things from being too dry. Otherwise a very nice read... Read more
