The book's 13 sections target topics such as:

o men ("The cock may crow, but it's the hen that lays the eggs." Margaret Thatcher)

o love and marriage ("Men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage-they've experienced pain and bought jewelry." Rita Rudner)

o struggle and disappointment ("The hardest years in life are those between 10 and 70." Helen Hayes, spoken when she was 82)

o success ("They say getting thin is the best revenge. Success is much better." Oprah Winfrey)

o empowerment "(I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay." Madonna)

But some of the brightest diamonds in this slim book are the insightful, perceptive and witty words introducing each of the sections. Those are the words of its author--B.J. Gallagher.

What would Buddha do in this situation? How would he handle it? This book will help provide the answers. Aside from adhering to strong basic management principles, if you run your business based on integrity and strong ethical values, the money will come - it is the end result of the fruits of your labour, the driving force behind your success. Strive to run your business with honesty, respect, compassion and organized thought. By providing a quality product/service that is in demand, at an affordable price, in a unique manner that your competitors are not providing, and staying within your budget, you have the makings of a successful business.

This book may seem like common sense to many but, as a counsellor and teacher in business management with thirty years of experience, I can assure you that many business owners/managers do not think common sense is of any great importance or simply choose not to follow it. They are eventually the ones who show up on the list of bankruptcies. After reading this book, sit down and make a list of how you would like to be treated as an employee. What would keep YOU happy, motivated and productive? Then, ask yourself if you are creating this type of work environment for your own employees. Sound knowledge of business management skills is a must for any entrepreneur, but there is a misconception out there that a successful entrepreneur must be some sort of "super, natural guru." You run a business with the same moral values and principles used in your personal life. The inner peace and contentment one finds in their own personal spirituality can also be applied to the workplace to achieve profitability while maintaining a nurturing, caring, positive, productive environment.

The 101 dilemmas presented here show how ancient wisdom can be used to solve many of our modern-day obstacles and challenges in the workplace. This book is highly recommended and certainly worth a five-star rating - even Buddha would be proud of this one!

I am not a Buddhist, but I think this book is very good and insightful. If you are Buddhist, buy this book, it will help guide you to Nirvana, or at least it will give you a lot to contemplate. If you aren't Buddhist, buy this book anyway, it will make you laugh and it is good lessons for life.

BJ James' books are always a reader's delight. This is no exception. DON'T DARE MISS THIS ONE!

Having experienced the stress attached to being right for most of my life and then, over the past few years, finally letting go of being so right by listening and allowing the opinions,knowledge and experience of others enhance my way of being over the past few years, reading this book made it so simple.

Everyone should be give this a manual for living when they become a teenager and then re-read it every few years as a reminder.

This writing team continues to deliver books that are not only a breeze to read, but cut away the superfluous detail and get right to the essence.

Since the articles were written there have of course been advances; I will just mention that a number of Jim Propp's matchings problems have been solved, and that Mark Haiman has proved the n! conjecture.

Contents: Matroid bundles (L. Anderson); Combinatorial representation theory (H. Barcelo, A. Ram); An algorithmic theory of lattice points in polyhedra (A. Barvinok, J. E. Pommersheim); Some algebraic properties of the Schechtman-Varchenko bilinear forms (G. Denham, P. Hanlon); Combinatorial differential topology and geometry (R. Forman); Macdonald polynomials and geometry (M. Haiman); Enumeration of matchings: problems and progress (J. Propp); The generalized Baues problem (V. Reiner); Littlewoord-Richardson semigroups (A. Zelevinsky).

And what a story this one is. Kate and Devlin are two strong, highly skilled people, both of whom have been battered by loss and by guilt. Only through their developing love for one another are they able to find self-forgiveness.

I can't think of another author who gives me as much story, character development, and atmosphere as James. The fact that she manages all that--and manages it so well--within a short category Desire speaks volumes for her talent.

This book is not to be missed. Of course, none of hers are! I hope you have already discovered that. If not, enjoy NIGHT MUSIC and you certainly will.

Already printed in 10 languages and two editions since its debut in January of 1995, this book is essential reading for anyone feeling stuck in a job, a club, an organization, a church or any systematized group. (It's also a valuable guide for people who prefer the security of being stuck and feel pommeled by the wild beating of feathers around them.)

But, get the second edition, so you can take advantage of the 15 pages of identifiers, tools and processes that will take you from figuring out where you are to figuring out how to get where you want to go.

If you ARE a corporation or lodge or church or school, read the SECOND EDITION only if you're willing to be "dislodged" as appropriate!
