#Not for Everyone (2008-05-15) Like many of these books you have to realize this isn t for everyone and it will not work for most. On the other hand there are many handy ideas on offloading work you shouldn t be doing anyway. I know of other people who use elance. com for some of their copywriting and internet projects and the thought of having a personal assistant from India also sounds appealing. Since I am self employed this seems much more plausible than for an office worker to offload their work overseas and start taking more time out of the office. I would recommend this for a...
#Loved it! (2008-04-21) This provides an amazing new outlook on life, I loved every minute of it. And its filled with useful practical information too.
#A true how-to-book (2008-02-03) Without a question, this is a how-to-book. This book is packed with rsources and including the names of companies and their web site addresses and everything else you need to know to escape the 9 to 5 work week and become one of the newly rich.
#Greed Ethic vs Work Ethic (2008-01-31) Being a time management nut, I thought I would find all kinds of tips on how to be more efficient. In reality, I found few. I may have a negative knee jerk reaction to this book because work ethic is one of my core values. This book is more about quick buck artistry than work ethic. Perhaps I am just stupid and choose the hard way to make a living. I also believe to be successful in business you need to be highly accessible and fast, so his idea of checking email only a couple of times a day goes against my grain. I believe in Crispness no...
#Similar to many other books. (2007-12-16) Whilst a great book overall I have given this book 3 stars because in general its a rehash of parts of many, many other books already out there. I ve seen examples from Dan Kennedy s books, O Bryans Portable Empire book and some others. Concepts such as selling online, researching markets before finding products, finding a niche have all been covered so much by those authors that there is literally nothing new in some parts of the book. A lot of the book also seems to be promo. for his website. He constantly tells you to go there for furt...

This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people. He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person s point of view and arousing in the other person an eager want. You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, an...

#The greatest book about interpersonal relations (2008-04-20) Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and Influence People has been a classic for decades, but it is still as fresh as when it first came out. Filled with knowledge, anecdotes and tips, it is suitable for anyone wishing to brighten up his own life and the lives of those around him. How to Win Friends and Influence People touches upon many subjects. As expected, Carnegie starts by giving some basic principles to keep in mind when dealing with other people. It the subsequent chapters, he then builds upon these statements by anal...
#Give it to your sons to remember you for ever (2007-12-01) This is a book to be read and practiced. This book makes you more human - in such a way you will find yourself gaining friends and keeping company with wonderful people. Treat this book like a treasured gift and share it with those you care for. It is a book that should be passed on to future generations. I was really surprised at how much this book matters and how much I learned by reading it. It is a book that keeps on giving, and yes some of the advice may be obvious, but it brings the correct way in which to interact wi...
#It won me over. (2007-10-13) A classic (originally published in the 30 s) and a must-have, this timeless piece of work can help just about anybody get along better with others and win them over to their way of thinking. Don t have a lot of time to spare? Don t worry. The book is divided into short sections, each one devoted to a particular principle that is well illustrated with many practical examples. In this way, you can read a chapter quickly, stop and do other things you have to do if necessary, and get back to the book when you have time- all without losing continuity. Thorou...
#classic! (2007-09-09) This book is classic! I enjoyed every minute of it!Another bestseller that I love and recommend to all omen - How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy Youby Mandy Simons
#AN OLD STANDARD THAT WORKS (2007-09-01) This old book still stands up to the dictums of modern society for the most part. There are several chapters that are dated, however, and for that reason I don t think it s as good of a primer as it once was. The basic principles are sound. Work hard, get along with others, keep your nose to the grindstone and it will all work out. The formula for success is so simple, it mtakes one wonder why everybody can t follow it? Re-reading How To Win Friends and Influence People reminded me of how funny the parody is, Martha Bolton s Maybe Life s Jus...

#More carrot, less stick please! (2008-08-23) I found that this book, although useful in parts, didn t measure up to previous publications like Ask and It is Given and The Astonishing Power of Emotions. This book is one of a series of four books based on the initial conversations between Jerry and Abraham some 20+ years ago. The first in the series was Law of Attraction. The 3rd and 4th have yet to be published. I find this series to be a little dry and not as uplifting as the books I mentioned in the beginning of this review. Even though there is much revision and new materi...
#Money, and the Law of Attraction a Winner! (2008-08-12) Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness by Ester and Jerry Hicks, takes manifesting your life s desires to a new level. I recently read and reviewed Manifest Your Desires: 365 Ways to Make Your Dreams a Reality, and my only complaint was that the book was less a how-to than a collection of inspiring affirmations. Money, and the Law of Attraction is just the opposite--it is filled with practical advice from the non-physical entity Abraham that guide you to manifest money and physical wel...

#I admit it, I collect everything! (2008-03-01) I have no idea why I purchased this book in the first place. I am SO glad I did!Peter Walsh s book has shown me how I have been running my life - cluttered and collecting stuff to fill every room I own. My husband and I have very busy lives. If we invite anyone over, it takes two days to prepare the house for guests which usually means I shove things in to another room and shut the door. I think Peter has some how seen my lifestyle and named his book after my living condition, It s all too Much, lol. I purchase stuff for the sake o...

#An invitation to obtain an exquisite sense of who you are (2008-04-18) This book is a great gift from Marshall Goldsmith to his reader. How so? In the Coda, he suggests this exercise: Imagine that you are 95 years old and ready to die. By then you (i. e. the reader) understand what is really important and what isn t, what matters and what doesn t. What advice would this wise `old you have for the `you who is [receiving the advice]? Take your time and answer the question on two levels: personal advice and professional advice. Jot down a few words that capture what the old you wou...
#Finally - self help for successful people (2008-01-31) I read a book on the flight back from San Francisco that a friend recommended called, What Got You Here Won t Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith. I was particularly intrigue by the title because often self-help books say things like, If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got. My variation of that is. . . If you do what you have always done, you will go bankrupt. The reason self-help books express things in those words is that they are trying to appeal to people who don t think they are as succes...
#Everyone needs this book (2007-11-11) Whether you are a leader, a manager, an entrepreneur, if you want to advance in your career and get some enlightenment along the way, this book is for you. In his fun and engaging style, Marshall tells it like it is. If you are successful, you probably have at least a few of the habits that Marshall mentions. That s OK, because using his process you can get them out of your way to accrue even more success. I am an executive coach who has used this process, both working directly with Marshall and his clients and with my own clients. I have seen...
#Marshall is Simply the best (2007-11-02) I read all Marshall s book and this last one is absolutely the best. Ever time I see or think if Marshall, i remember all the great tips he has shared with me over the years to make me a better person and a better mamager.
#Ladder Extension (2007-11-01) As a professional coach I read many of the current books on the topic. This book is exceptional. Whether you are a spouse, parent, or organizational leader this book will challenge you to climb a little higher. The book is lively and filled with wit and wisdom. It does come with a warning. If you are looking for a quick fix this is not the recipe. To follow Marshall s plan will take 12 -18 months.
