Review:The first part of the book was interesting- card counting, stocks, etc. Unfortunately the second was just a re-hash of financial concepts and Thorp's views on Wall Street. I finally just gave up and skimmed it. Read more

Review:1st read about his index card several years ago; was thrilled to see it fleshed out as a book. I will give it for Christmas presents this year. No one wants to not buy toys and delights, but he helps the reader imagine a viable way to have a more secure retirement, and that makes saying yes to CZ stones and no to diamonds a lot more palatable.

Review:This book is terrible. First, it wasn't published by a publishing company...? Which makes sense considering there are excessive grammatical errors. Second, the author literally references the KU KLUX KLAN as an example of a group that concerns itself highly with the "value stage" of friendship. He says, "they are built upon a specific set of beliefs that bonds them together. We are similarly looking for people who think like us, and who we can ultimately relate to." If the author sent this to a ... Read more

Review:Amazing book, really practical and helpful. However, some video links were missing from the kindle version, so I don't know if it was just my computer or the actual product. But regardless of that, a must buy!!!

Review:This book is wonderfully written in a very conversational tone which makes it easy to read. I think perhaps just because we are human beings that we may have basic concept of some of what is written about in the book, BUT when it is spelled out in detail the light bulb goes on! I wish I had the information in this book on a couple of meetings/interviews I've had. It would have been interesting, at least for me! You will be able to utilize the information in all areas of your life from co-wor... Read more

Review:If small talk is daunting for you, then this book will equip you to win! I loved the practical scenarios that I feel prepared for. I learned how to start a conversation, ease into one, keep it going and get out! The lists make it super easy to skim, but you won't want to miss the awesome content. It was a super easy read that enriched my small talk toolbox. The bonus is that you will get better at both speaking and listening from reading this. Check it out! Read more

Review:this book provides simple but effective ways of using mindfulness as a way to achieve inner happiness and self confidence. As a relatively absent minded person, I really appreciate the insights here and the effect I feel after just three weeks of meditation and mindfulness. though nowhere near a Zen aster yet, I feel more confident in myself, and know that there are more benefits to be reaped by making this a lifelong practice Read more

Review:In another of his amazing books, Godin implores folks to create "art." He defines art not as painting, etc, but in being unique, meaningful and indispensable in whatever industry you work in. A great read! Read more

Review:This is by far my favorite Seth Godin book. Every time I start to lose faith in my vision and goals I re-read this and remind myself that I haven't got to the other side yet, I'm still in the dip.

If you are looking for something/someone to tell you that you are on the right path (or wrong one as the case may be) then this book is the right choice. Read more

Review:Sure we (the marketing crowd) all know this already. We know world is getting so fast you have to find a way to be remarkable. We know if we dont find that way we will get lost in the masses and become invisible. But sometimes we forget it in our daily business. I dont necessarily agree with the whole ideavirus idea. But I do believe in being remarkable. I also believe being remarkable is all about creating a relevant remerkable temporary monopoly, and competing on the level where noone else has... Read more
