A Study of Economics as if People Mattered - Small Is Beautiful
A Study of Economics as if People Mattered - Small Is Beautiful

Review:Of late the bestseller lists have been filled with titles such as "Freakonomics" and "Predictably Irrational". Yet while the media fawns on these books, some people might find them strangely unsatisfying. It's not a matter of computing a statistic incorrectly or doing the analysis wrong. The problem is in the premise. The authors of these books are wrong from start to finish.

"If morality is the study of what people should do, economics is the study of what people actually do," procla... Read more

With a New Preface by the Authors - Primal Leadership

Review:I've read a number of leadership books, and Primal Leadership is among the best I've picked up. Goleman and crew outline a well balanced understanding of the different facets of leadership and the important skill of reading and capitalizing on the emotional state of the organization which one leads. This book is filled with numerous stories and cases where the principles advocated for are illustrated quite nicely.

This book is worth your time if you are seeking to develop your own leade... Read more

Working with Emotional Intelligence

Review:In the first place I received an older version of this book. I waited so long for it that I decided to go ahead and keep it. I just hope that it is not much different then the version that I ordered as I have to write an essay on the book when I finish reading it. If it is then I will be very upset with the store that I bought it from. Plus, it took forever for them to ship the book in the first place. Read more

Review:Ir si a Great book with amazing information. The lean culture should be adopted by every company.
I also wanted to clarify that someone that gave this book a one star rating mentioned they Toyota is not using Lean and they is very incorrect and it is misinforming people. http://www.toyota-global.com/company/vision_philosophy/toyota_production_system/ on this website you can see that it is still used and its part of Toyota's culture.

Including Find Your First Job - With New Chapters by Experts

Review:Ms. Sandberg is an accomplished person, do doubt. I read 40-50 books per year, and was attracted to this work because I have four daughters, three of which are out of school and working in professions. I very much want them to be successful. The first five CDs are verbatim to "Lean-in" which is largely a B-M-C manifesto on how the world is wrong for women . . . in other words, no "solutions orientation." I expected WAY more from someone with Sandberg's capabilities. Likewise, she cites Glor... Read more

I called my cable company after reading one of the first chapters and was able to get my bill reduced $240.00 a year for the same package!

Surprising Strategies to Up Your Earnings and Change Your Life
Surprising Strategies to Up Your Earnings and Change Your Life

Review:A solid motivational read. Im a self employed consultant that works from home. The stories were motivating and served as a boost before i started my day. However nothing particularly outstanding and lifechanging in this book for me. That is this book is filled with very common sense advice. Also several editing issues (a quote incorrectly attributed to Nelson Mandela) and i found it interesting that thr author made a point to identify the race of black women she interviewed (no other races were...
