Solovic took a hard look at why successful women have "made it" and then took the time to share it with the rest of us! Her examination of corporate America is "closer to reality" than many of us want to admit. Even those of us who work for the "best companies" know that we face additional challenges as women executives. Here's an opportunity to read, learn and apply her insights to our daily lives.

Elan Carson captures the true essence of what it is to really be one of "US".
Many people write about "US" but they don't really understand "US" and how we see things.
I was proud to see that she pulled back the curtain on so many issues and didn't back away from the bad & ugly, while reporting the good; oh she touched on everything!
There were times when I had to put the book down and look at myself, wondering "damn, is that really how I act?"
And yes, it was pretty much all true.
I recommend this book to anyone of any race, creed, gender, age.
It by passes boundaries and leaps toward a more united front and universal way of thinking that is sure to make you rethink your existence, your expectations, and plans for your future.
Super good read... Altho, I am partial to the original title :)

Robbie's book is a lucid and insightful analysis of what the membership economy is, how it works -- and how to make it work for you.

We are quick to judge - others!  Usually not so good on understanding and analyzing our own actions and behaviors.  Dr, Eurich has studied and thoroughly documented the importance of seeing ourselves clearly and how important it is in our personal and business relationships. The book is well written with new findings and concepts. The distinction between internal and external awareness is revealing and the book explains the distinction  and how to address each. The book also explains why just thinking about  ourselves is not adequate to really be aware of how we are perceived and ultimately received. The book will help those wanting to improve performance and relationships and get more out of some common tools that on their own can trick us into believing we really know how we are perceived. Tools such as 360 performance reviews and other feedback where we usually just take the good and move on. Some good Appendix material on resources and diagnostics area  plus.

If you are openminded and pragmatic, then you will enjoy this book.

Ringer takes you through his own experiences of learning that what people say, and what people do are typically not the same thing.

You will learn of the three major types of people.

1. Those out to take what you have and are direct about it.
2. Those who say they feel bad about taking what you have and do it anyway.
3. Those who claim they would never take what you have and then express profound regret that they are trying to take what you have.

You might view Ringer's viewpoint as somewhat pessimistic, however if you believe that most people will seek their own advantage (often to your disadvantage) that his advice becomes very practical.

If you want a different point of view than your typical, the world is fair so play nice perspective, then whether you agree with Rigner or not, you will have one more perspective to draw from.

Cheers!

This book is a must read for people who feel that they have become a number the corporate accounting game. We as individuals have been beaten down into thinking that our unique talents do not matter and that we are replaceable. Lori's thoughtful insight dispels the easy analysis of spreadsheets and forces us to look at the individual and how he or she can fit into properly defined job descriptions. Although the book is aimed at managers and CEOs, we all can learn a lot by understanding what our strengths are and applying them everyday. I am a salesperson with one true mission: use my strengths to help my clients succeed every day. Lori Stohs is a true champion of helping people match their strengths with the right job description. I hope she is writing another book as we speak.  Great job Lori for helping us remember who we are!

This book is a perfect read for ANYONE who has ever thought about, or is an entrepreneur!  Giving real life experiences, you can so relate to Matt and Kristen as you learn about their life in the world of owning their own businesses.  It is definitely not easy, and not for everyone - but with careful thought, planning and hard work, anyone who has the desire, can make it a reality to own their own company.  Just starting my own business one year ago, this book really made me sit down and think about re-evaluating my goals and how I can continue to grow and make it the absolute best business it can be.  Awesome book!!

I recommend this book to anyone wanting to know themselves better and anyone wanting to communicate with others better. The 10-Minute Quiz defines your primary and back-up colors. Once defined you will read about your personality type, your ideal careers, your ideal boss, your natural work related strengths, and your ideal work environment. You can then go on to read about people with color combinations different than yours and how to best communicate with each color combo. A very interesting yet easy book to read and comprehend.

We are more than we realize.  We have many interesting "selves".  Get to know your inner self at a deeper level than ever before by facing your true selves.  These cards are beautifully illustrated, and the book gives you a basic guideline of what the self contains.  You will quickly learn to recognize your primary selves, and those that you disown.  Understanding the selves, how they operate in your life, and bringing them into a "sweet balance" will make your feel alive, whole and more at peace with yourself.

Having known John for many years and through dealing with losing my mother to Alzheimer's I have a personal perspective on this situation. This book is an honest view of a flawed system. This system exploits the financial and emotional ties of the family to the loved one. John took on a huge personal responsibility to research and find the best possible situation to care for his Mom. While they had problems in their relationship in the past, he has invested time, money and put his life on hold to provide a warm and loving environment for her final days.

This book accurately describes the warehousing of our seniors and the profit motive attached to the nursing home system. This book gives an honest view of the time and energy necessary to ensure that our aging family members are cared for in a warm, loving environment that is not predicated upon the profit motive.

John's journey through the legal and medical system as described in this book should be a guideline for anyone facing a similar situation with an aging family member. Be aware that you as a family member can make the best and educated decisions for your loved one's care. By reading this book it will help make the best possible decisions.

I've read both of Oliver's previous books and found a wealth of insight and information on our inner workings. This book goes into far greater detail as to why we play out certain patterns of thought and behavior in our adult relationships. Oliver's gift is one of supreme clarity. For those who need to know the "how's and why's" of their responses, this book is for you. Chapter by chapter, the layers of our personal history are peeled back allowing us to see how our past has colored and shaped our present day reality. Our reactions and attitudes may be historic, but our ability to alter the past is placed firmly in our hands. No long victims of circumstances for which we had no control, our adult self is able to transform our past through understanding and awareness. A great read for seekers of inner awareness and those wanting a new birth.  Susan Winter

I appreciate the honesty of this book. As a frustrated perfectionist myself, Ive often walked the paths addressed. The author doesnt sugar-coat problems or offer shame-based how could you possibly feel that way advice. Perfectionism can be a lonely place. What a comfort to know there are others who struggle and ride the roller coaster of emotions "being perfect" creates. Part-way through the book I felt like Id made a new friend who understands me, doesnt judge me and someone Id love to sit down to chat with over a cup of tea and a gooey brownie. This is a book I'll share with others and use as a springboard to discuss how to learn to accept ourselves better and get off the merry-go-round of demanding perfection. Thanks Amanda for peeling off the mask and allowing us to see the real you.

My hunch is a number of folks will read the title of Christy Whitman's newest book and quietly think, "Yeah, right."  However, what you'll find beneath the covers of this book is a refreshing perspective and a strategy for those who do want to 'have it all'. And it stems from a deep connection with yourself...first and foremost. Then you'll learn how 'having it all' is a feeling you hold within your heart and soul. You'll learn it's in your ability to love and accept not only all that you are, but what you have created and what you have yet to create. Every human being alive is unique unto all of the Universe and we don't all want the same things. Once you define what 'having it all' means to you, now you create the opening to allowing that to happen. In this book, Christy walks you through how to do that every step of the way.

Cokie Berenyi has uncovered some secrets about balance. I so appreciate that she shared her notions about balancing heart, mind, body and soul on a daily basis. A Perfect Day is a good read for anyone who wants a perfect day, every day. A perfect day is a heart-felt sharing while it is also a practical guide, that can aid us in becoming ourselves.

just goes to show you how perfectly designed we all are. this book redefines your relationship to your emotions and teaches you how to see them as indicators...your navigational indicators that tell you how you're moving through this physical trail.

i LOVED the insights i gained through reading this. it will absolutely redefine the way you interpret your emotions and respond to them. we all come with inner guidance. your own built-in emotional response system.

everything you need to move through this life with ease is WITHIN YOU.

life is perfectly orchestrated and so is everything about you!
