Economic-Life Books

Unlike many books written for people in the world of business, this book really ties it all together. It not only talks about leadership, core values, and applying them, but also shows us why we don't and most importantly how we can, and why we must.

I recommend this book, as a strong must read for anyone working with or managing people.

With all the corruption being exposed in the business world it is refreshing to read a book that offers solutions that are both practical and easily applied. Every CEO should read this book. It will change your perspective about how we operate both consciously and unconsciously in our work, our world, and how intuition can be our best ally...

This book is a must read for all business people interested in really transforming the soul of the workplace.

As a business consultant, I couldn't agree more with the authors' insights and ideas.

The Inner Edge presents a common sense framework for improved personal and organizational effectiveness. The book is especially relevant in an era of intense scrutiny of corporate behavior and heightened expectations of ethical personal and professional behavior.

The book has an easy to use format with helpful tools such as self assessment exercises, guidelines and charts.

I have been working with individuals and small business for over 30 years in the Financial Services Industry. I have read many books and attended many workshops in an effort to expand my spiritually in both my personal and business life. This book and the concepts and exercises it provides is unquestionably one of the very best I have experienced.
I have ordered the audio CD's to assist me in implementing these concepts in my life. This book and it's concepts will provide wonderful benefits for everyone who puts it to work in their lives.

The title, preface and initial chapters excited me towards this book which i happen to browse in a local book store. I was quite excited and sometimes amazed by the clarity of presentation by the authors in the initial chapters which talks about life and its purpose, understanding and having your own "identity" and also about the side-effects of deep-rooted negative childhood habbits (unfinished business) which some people tend to carry along in their life unknowingly. The techniques to identify your strengths and small steps to be carried out to overcome the negative qualities are somewhat old but polished with new terminologies and jargons.
But I noticed a strange discontinuity in the authors presentation, when they jump into a new concept, so called "Quantum Decision Making (QDM)". The authors does not give good insight into QDM nor establish the relationship between the initial chapters and QDM. Hence overall we are introduced in lots new terms but without clear purpose and reasoning. The case studies of their approach has been clearly separated from the actual text, which was helpful to maintain the continuity in the discussion.
I would been happy or atleast understood the QDM concept better if a limited version of a CD or small visual guide was accompanied with this book. Because of this most of the latter part of the book goes over the head, when the authors talk about "icons", "multicolored 3D visualization" .. etc. Interesting/Useful initial chapters but poor second part.

From the first step to the last page, this book is compelling. It uniquely grabbed my attention and pulled me forward to a succinct goal, and success script. With daily action steps, I'm on my way to the vision and business that I hadn't been able articulate - and moving much faster than I thought possible. Romanus has opened my eyes and life through his approach. Kick Start Your Success works!

The book is amazing. Following the step by step approach I successfully completed my new business.

I went from thinking I should start my business to knowing I should. Then using the step by step approach I established messages and goals that encouraged others to support me. Getting advise and for free was a real benefit

Thanks Kick Start Guy. I got the Kick in the Pants I needed

It is a joyfull book to read, picks the pace quick and then ask you to do exercises on the spot. I have had experince with this kind of technique and its great to reinforce what you just have learned quickly.

I got this audiobook based on reviews given here, and maybe my expecations were too high, but I am disappointed in this book.

My first complaint is the author read his own book. Sometimes this works, but in this case, his voice failed to convey his ideas with enthusiasm. I recommend the author actually spend some money and get a professional voice actor next time.

The author's key to success is to write down not your goal, but your intent on what your goal will do to benefit other people. I found this to be helpful in preparing my elevator speech to find my dream job (which I have not yet found), but many other goals I found this to be non-productive.

Having a good intent and sharing with others may push me in completing my goals, but if some goals are selfish in nature (winning an award, having self-satisfaction with a personal hobby done well, writing that great novel), sharing whatever good intentions gets me no further along than before. The author's solution is for me to keep 'spinning' my intent until I get help.

A much better book (and audiobook for that matter) is Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy. You want clarity? It is significantly better than Kick Start Your Success.

I know this review is going to be voted as not-helpful by all the author's shills, but I am warning you. This book is definately over-rated.

This is not a "pat yourself on the back you can do it book." Romanus Wolter actually rolls up his sleeves and helps you get on track. I have learned how to create a method that helps me make decisions and his formula for developing an elevator pitch was the first time I was able to bring all my ideas about what I want to do into one cohesive sentence. It seems almost too simple but just follow the chapters and in a very short time you will be talking with the big cats.

An important contribution to leadership literature, Reldan Nadler's Leaders' Playbook is a valuable guide for acquiring and enhancing emotional and social intelligence.

Writing from deep experience, Nadler provides both beginners and seasoned leaders with a range of case studies to reflect upon, and sound practices to apply when interacting with others. I have found this book especially useful in teaching and coaching both emerging and experienced leaders; they consistently report and demonstrate that Nadler's perceptive insights and exercises have led to positive changes in their thinking and behavior. Particular favorites are the materials on "star performance" and "derailers." An experience-based, highly practical manual fusing emotional intelligence with leadership skills, The Leaders' Playbook is a first-rate resource for all who lead.

Karen Jambeck, Ph.D.

The concept of emotional intelligence became popular after the immense success of Daniel Goleman's book in 1995, Emotional Intelligence, Why It Can Matter More Than IQ.

Unlike IQ, which is unchanging from childhood on, emotional intelligence can be developed. In fact, it usually does become greater with age and maturity. The importance of developing one's emotional intelligence is essential to success in the workplace. Utilizing the power and energy of one's emotions leads to high motivation, and improves problem-solving and decision-making.

The Leaders' Playbook is a treasure trove of actionable strategies to develop emotional intelligence. If you want to improve self-confidence, teamwork, collaboration, interpersonal communication and empathy this great resource will show you how. It is the most clear, precise and pragmatic book on how to enhance performance by developing key emotional intelligence competencies that I have read.

Whether you are a company leader, coach, consultant or individual performer Leaders' Playbook wisely provides essential tips to help you excel. My executive coaching and leadership development clients love this book.

Dr. Maynard Brusman
Consulting Psychologist and Executive Coach

Many other reviews of this fine book go on at great length extolling the virtues of Dr. Nadler's "Leaders' Playbook," and I agree with them, having just these thoughts to add: I have something approaching 100 books on leadership on my shelves. "Leaders' Playbook" is the one I use the most in my coaching practice. It is practical, useful and full of great ideas that you can actually implement to help your clients.

Instead of buying yet another book that explains a great new way to think, or more likely, another variation on one of the standard approaches, buy this book!

Reldan Nadler's Leaders' Playbook has become a key "go to" resource when I am working with clients and teams on building Emotional Intelligence competencies. The book has impactful practical exercises to utilize with leaders in the areas of building confidence, collaborative teamwork, developing others and communication. In addition, the book provides great teambuilding exercises complete with debriefing instructions that are easy to facilitate and have a lasting impression. This book is a very valuable resource for executive coaches and leaders; as well as trainers working with teams.

Do you want to improve your leadership skills? In this book Dr. Nadler has taken complicated information and made it easy to understand and put into use. This practical book with step-by-step guides will help you improve your coaching and leadership skills and is ideal for supervisors, managers, executives and coaches.

I was talking with a woman who is a sponsor in a 12-step program who asked me if I knew of a book that would help to improve her coaching skills with her clients. I recommended this book. She called back a few weeks later after applying the tools in the book and had gotten great results. She is now going to use the book to teach other sponsors.

I recently made the decision that I want to train as a life coach and started looking for resources. This book is a wonderful resource because it has helped me think through why I want to coach and I have clarified my own values and life.

One of the best principles I took away from this book is that coaching is far different from mentoring or counseling because a coach uses OPEN ENDED questions to get a client to work on finding solutions for their life. I have often listened to others but sometimes found myself wanting to educate them. As I read the sample coaching scenarios in the book, I became convinced that OPEN ENDED questions are the best way to coach.

For those who are wanting a book on "how to build your business to make $X" - this is not it. This book is on how to become the best coach you can be - and how to be authentic and effective with everyone you meet - whether they are a client or not.

This is a "MUST HAVE" book for every Christian coach.

Bought this for my wife who is a Pastor / Life Coach. Says it contains lots of good principles.

Tony's book is an integral part of my coach training program. I believe all my students would agree that it is a powerful tool in the hands of someone who wants to be a good coach.

After reading Tony's book, I understand why it is often used as the textbook for various Christian Coaching education centers. He delves into the science of many of the tenets of life coaching in plain language, and illustrates the art of practical applications of those principles through real examples of coaching situations. I consider Tony's book and John Whitmore's Coaching for Performance two essential books for anyone interested in the study of life coaching.

As a christian leader, what is so fascinating about this book is that so many of the principles in it are taken directly from the Bible.
One of the most powerful sentences in the book is this: "Coaching is a conscious imitation of the way that Christ looks at us and the way that God develops leaders."

This is such a wonderful book. It inspired me to change my life and live as a miracle leader. I have highly recommended it to everyone in my organization.

If you're a leader and you want to live an extraordinary life then this book is for you. 95% of the people in United States believe in a higher power, whether or not they call it God or something else. Inviting that power into your life and making it part of your approach to leadership will pay benefits to both you and the people you lead. What you now consider as miracles will soon become the norm or natural.

There is power in softness. People are desperate to be led. People yearn to be loved. Stephen's book shows you how to do both. Read it, you'll appreciate the changes that will happen. The people you lead will applaud you for it as well.

Stephen goes waaay beyond just inspiring you to believe ...he actually shows you how to become the leader of your life and live from your own core truth. The powerful exercises guide you to the miracle of loving yourself and loving what you do.

This book is really about YOU ...helping you take an honest look at your life while exploring your Inner Landscape. You'll find the courage to be authentic and trust yourself more than anyone or anything outside of yourself. Get the book and discover your real Self and the miracle that you have always been.

I have read John Maxwell, Tony Robbins, and Stephen Covey. This book stands out because it is read as a conversation across the table from Stephen McGhee. He challenges you consistently to live a life of integrity and accountability - and to discover 'where' the leader in you comes from. Read it and be impacted.

How can it be that with so many seminars, trainings, programs, and inspirational material available, our planet seems to have so many vacancies for truly powerful--and empowering--leadership?

To my mind, Steve's book points the way to a leadership paradigm that can fill those vacancies. Practical, guided exercises, amazing personally revealing anecdotes, and an unapologetic call to action.

This book will create leaders that no longer chant, "Follow me!" It will birth leaders who have the courage to say, "I'll go first."

I read this book with my wife each taking assignments and reporting back after a day or two. What an incredible read and experience. There is a wealth of challanging material in this book to help anyone wishing to expand themselves into a more thoughtful person.

A pure blessing that has potential and material to make a substancial upswing in one's life.
Rocco

I have been a fan of the Merills, since their synergistic work with Stephen Covey with "First Things First".

I am not married yet, nor do I have a job, but I find this book so practical and I am convinced as I grow up into the various future stages of my life, the wisdom within it, will become more and more obvious.

I really like the idea that balance is not in "balancing the scale" but in "balancing".

The sections that deals with Time Matters and Money Matters, is worth more than the price of the book. When I was browsing through the book, and got to read the Money Matrix diagram, I almost jumped out of my skin. I always felt the Time Matrix is always applicable to one's personal finance. I was so delighted to know the Merrills felt the same and has wrote and developed it further in this book. The book also feature a quote from my favorite personal finance guru, Robert Kiyosaki.

If you have a friend who is getting married, this would be an excellent gift to a newly wed couple. I recently gifted one to my best friend. Since the book is quite expensive for us living in India, I along with a group of friends, decided to give it together.

It's a book worth to be made a family heirloom. I am sure anyone would find it helpful. Its a rare diamond in the overly cluttered world of self-help books. Most self-help books offer advice, but ended up with platitudes and rehash of ideas. We need books like this one.

Another beautiful aspect to this book is the author's recognition that more than offering answers to people, it is more important to help people develop their ability to find the answer within. This is what they called navigational intelligence. It is the effort to develop personal conscience, and listening to it.

Its a book that will never leave my reading desk and will be refered to again and again and again, till I end this life and buried six feet under.

Thanks Roger and Rebecca for an enduring legacy for generations to come. I pray more and more people will embrace your message. If we all do the world will be a better place to live in.

New books telling you how to improve your life come off the presses every week, maybe every day. Some are bad, and you realize you have wasted your time. Some are average, and you might learn a few new things, but they aren't all that memorable. Some are great, and you go back to them again and again. "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" is one of the great books. Years later people remember it, talk about it, and reread it.

"Life Matters" is a great book. It covers a lot of good ideas, the thoughts and observations are well presented, and the book reads quickly.

The first chapter starts off talking about what is important in life. The authors focus on four areas: work, family, time, and money. They have a quiz to help in your self-assessment of how you are doing in each of these four areas. A big message of this book is there doesn't have to be conflict between the four areas.

The next chapter covers three things you have to do in any area of your life. The three "gotta do's" are:

1) Validate your expectations. You have to confront reality, for if you have an unrealistic expectation you will be frustrated. The authors make the point that the direction you are heading is more important than how fast you are going.

2) Optimize Effort. Look for ways to get the maximum benefit for your effort, and make sure your decisions are aligned with your goals.

3) Develop your "Navigational" intelligence. This is the ability to be aware of your changing environment, so that what looked like an important task at the start of the day may have to take a back seat when your boss gives you a new assignment, or a child needs attention.

The next four chapters are on: work, family, time, and money, with a chapter on each area. The authors weave each of the above three "gotta do's" into each area. For each area they explore different ways people see the area, for example how do you see your family, or your money. And then they discuss what is the reality. They have a list of "optimizers" which are techniques for getting the maximum benefit for your effort. And they talk about how to be flexible when situations change.

"Seven Habits" mentions a Time Matrix, which is a two dimensional matrix based on how important something is, and how urgent it is. Many people waste time on things that aren't important, or get caught up doing things that are important and urgent. Stephen Covey explores why doing things that aren't urgent, but important, can make a great difference in your life. For me one of the gems of "Life Matters" was exploring this same matrix in relation to money. The Merrill's point is that it is best to invest your money with the same Quadrant II focus, things that aren't urgent, but are important. For me, that idea alone was worth reading the book. There were a number of similar gems scattered through the book.

The last chapter was titled "Wisdom Matters" and here the authors explore why wisdom is important, and how to improve your wisdom. One of the points they strongly make is to develop an ongoing daily self-important program. The idea is to spend a few minutes each day improving your understanding of life, and how to make better decisions.

This is a great book. If you are interested in improving your life, buy this book, read this book, and then reread it. It will help you get better control of your life. For as the Merrills say, life does matter.

This book is one of many that build off Stephen Covey's "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," and is a more in-depth discussion of prioritizing (Living in Quadrant II for those who speak Covey). This book is divided into four sections that reflect the four biggest concerns Americans face--the workplace, the family, time, and money. The basic message of the book is that one must think in terms of "investing," whether it be money, time, or effort. It is important to examine what one invests in so that maximum returns can be paid on that investment. As an example, investing money in a car yeilds a much lower return (a negative return) than investing in a mutual fund. Investing time in televison watching yields a much lower return than helping your child with his homework. Investing in effort in a long-term project that is still months away yields a much higher return than filling out some pretty-unnecessary paperwork. Other commentators are correct when they say that the examples of theory-in-action can be fairly unrealistic (even though they really happened!), but they illustrate the authors' points well. I would first recommend the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. If you find that helpful (and I imagine you will), this book is an excellent follow-up to it.

Prioritizing the building blocks of life - family, work, money and time - is paramount to happiness. Some people do it unconsciously by living within their intellectual and monetary expectations. Others need a framework for balance, such as the one that authors A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca R. Merrill provide. To achieve personal balance, the authors suggest becoming a better team player, working more effectively, learning about finances and setting home and work priorities. They establish the goal of building a strong family, centered around parental "family leadership." Do they successfully address the knotty issues they raise? Yes, in a folksy way. This is a useful self-help manual with checklists, self-assessments and personal anecdotes, which are sometimes touching, but sometimes impractical or saccharine. Though the management advice dons motivational language, the sections on family and work are particularly worthwhile. The authors deliver a solid antidote to misplaced modern values, albeit wrapped in some fluffy trappings. We recommend this book to corporate officers and human resource personnel, as well as to individuals seeking balance.

Modern funerals can be quite expensive, so life insurance can be the easiest answer. But how can you make sure that your life insurance will do what you pay it to do? "Questions and Answers on Life Insurance: The Life Insurance Toolbook" is a guide to help those who are concerned about life insurance policies make the right decisions by analyzing the fine print of it all - the different types of policies, evaluating the companies that hold the policy, trusted agencies, underwriting, and how to make sure your policy doesn't change behind your back. "Questions and Answers on Life Insurance: The Life Insurance Toolbook" is highly recommended to community library collections on personal finance and for anyone who is in the market for a life insurance policy.

Questions and Answers on Life Insurance: The Life Insurance Toolbox
Thank you for your interest in this book. Reviews for this book can be found with this earlier edition. Hope these reviews are useful. Tony Steuer, Author.

Tony's honest and unbiased approach to the presentation of the material is the perfect format for actually learning about Life Insurance. There is much knowledge to gain about what is construed as a potentially complex area of financial protection. If you are in the market to purchase Life Insurance, this is the book for you.

It's great tool to validating the complex information on life insurance and easier to understand than most text material.

For the beginning insurance agent, this is a very good book. Insurance products are very complex and sometimes difficult to explain, this book helps and could even be used to help answer prospective clients questions while presenting. I am glad I own this book.

In a world in which "parable" has been reduced to trite and trivial, Blumberg has achieved the remarkable-- a powerful story that teaches a great lesson on what happens when work overwhelms life. Blumberg is a talented writer who also keeps the pace moving and characters believable. I have recommended this book to many! It also mirrors my belief in the power of choice as seen in two of my books: Work for a Living & Still Be Free to Live and Gifts from the Mountain:Simple Truths for Life's COmplexitites.

Bottom line: read it!

This book is a quick read with very simple message. While we are all busy working hard at our jobs, or trying to find one -- often we forget to reflect on our lives and people around us. In our search of money, comfort and race for a success, we forget about our families, genuine friends and life issues that are truly important. The book will be a gentle reminder to all readers to stop, reflect and re-assess life priorities. We will be reminded that we all have to realize that life is about serving others around us, just stopping for a minute and enjoying the simple moments in life, dedicating our energy to people and causes that make our life more rich and fulfilling. In another word, money and success is not everything. There are higher responsibilities in life and we have to take charge of making sure they happen, because no one else will.

I can only put this book down long enough to write this review. I left corporate 2 years ago to follow my purpose. It's the best thing I've ever done. I know that the overall outcome of the work I do is benefiting the planet. However, even I still forget to look around and take in what's important. I picked this book up in the airport... I had 3 other books in my bag, I didn't need another one. But this one leapt out at me and I'm sure a little angel had something to do with it.

I on the other hand, couldn't put this down and had to finish it in one reading. I'm glad I took time out of my busy life to do that! A great reminder that life is way too short, and a super script on creating the tools to get to the heart of your life. You'll know how to go about finding your passion, which can be easier said than done in our information overloaded world. A must read for the smarter, harder, fast trackers.

While an easy read, it is not a book to be read in one night. This thought provoking and life altering experience through the eyes of a high strung, bottom line driven personality will resonate with all individuals seeking a better way.

Choose which is most important to you. If is is God and your faith first, family second, job third, you may well be on your way to a truly successful lifestyle. Consider the alternative of an empty, greedy, bottom line way of life. How many true friends do you find there? How many "friends" will be there in your greatest time of need?

These and many other moral and ethical questions can be answered if you take the time to search yourself. Read slowly and deliberately.

You may just find the person you lost so many years ago.

I attended Christopher Avery's Knowledge Team Leadership course and came away very impressed with his grasp of Team Dynamics (note that I did not say "team building" with it's touchy feely connotations"). Teamwork Is An Individual Skill is another great tool for companies interested in organizational development.

Christopher takes a very practical approach. Just how does one get a group of already successful people who don't have formal authority over each other to come together as a productive team? In today's knowledge economy, time is a precious commodity. Agile, effective teams feel a sense of "shared responsibility" and urgency. If members of a team are not truly committed to a project, it is best to know that up front and adjust accordingly. Christopher shows us how to navigate these issues quickly. This book is well worth checking out.

This book is a must for anyone who is managing an office. if your office is full of egotistical employees or employees who are not term players, this book will help you to help employess get on the right track.

Excerpt from Fortune Article: How to build a great team by Jerry Useem, FORTUNE, June 1, 2006: 3:31 PM EDT

........ The fact is, most of what you've read about teamwork is bunk. So here's a place to start: Tear down those treacly motivational posters of rowers rowing and pipers piping. Gather every recorded instance of John Madden calling someone a "team player." Cram it all into a dumpster and light the thing on fire. Then settle in to really think about what it means to be a team.

We're certainly not against the concept of teamwork. But that's the point: All the happy-sounding twaddle obscures the actual practice of it. And teamwork is a practice. Great teamwork is an outcome; you can only create the conditions for it to flourish. Like getting rich or falling in love, you cannot simply will it to happen.

We will go further and say: Teamwork is an individual skill. That happens to be the title of a book. Christopher Avery writes, "Becoming skilled at doing more with others may be the single most important thing you can do" to increase your value - regardless of your level of authority.

As work is increasingly broken down into team-sized increments, Avery's argument goes, blaming a "bad team" for one's difficulties is, by definition, a personal failure, since the very notion of teamwork implies a shared responsibility. You can't control other people's behavior, but you can control your own. Which means that there is an "I" in team after all. (Especially in France, where they spell it Equipe.)

Many of us charged with leading teams are expected to take the role of 'scapegoat' for team performance. While most of us agree that the team leader does contribute (critically) to the team's success, each individual member can and does impact the team's performance. This book provides a validation that individuals impact teams and goes further to explain that every team member has an obligation to provide for the success of the team. This book helps empower those that want to make a difference in their teams.

The book entitled "Teamwork is an Individual Skill" is quite interesting. I work at a large semi-conductor manufacturer as a non-exempt fab technician on a self managed team on night shift.

I am the most experienced and capable person on my team, yet with all of my background I have come to realize how relatively little influence I often have on team performance, and on my ability to push the team in the direction I think it should go. The very first sentence in your book on page 1, "Do you share responsibility with others to get work done but don't have authority over them (and they don't have authority over you)?" absolutely floored me, 'cause that is me to the tee.

I had only gotten to page 8 of your book when I was thoroughly blown away by the directness with which the differences between flat and hierarchical structures were addressed. At my company there is no mention of this approach; even once when I mentioned the term "semi-autonomous team" to the most qualified tech (who happened to be on day shift--arguably a more hierarchical environment due to the presence of many exempt employees) he did not know what the term meant. The company has this structure in place almost as an unwritten agenda.

Your comment on page 5, "Many individuals--especially smart, high achievers--can experience great angst if asked to serve in teams." is in retrospect a great source of comfort to help me understand my angst during my three years with this company. In all of the areas I have worked in during that time I am sure that I had (at least on paper) more qualifications than any one other person (B.S. deg, two A.A.S. degs, 12+ prior years of technical experience, and a whole host of other skills that my teammates do not exhibit.) Plus add to that, that my experience has almost exclusively come from a strongly tilted hierarchical background in retrospect is why I struggled with teams, as you describe them.

Every page of your book is quite thought-provoking, causing me to pause and reflect on how your observations compare to my situation.

Jim Lange wrote a very helpful and prayerful book on how to lead in the workplace and in life. I have used many points in his book as a leader and recommend it.

A great book! Jim has carefully articulated the very best representation of true biblical leadership. Whether you are a Christian or not, this is a MUST read. The principals of leadership that he outlines can be be easily applied to all areas of your life (work, family, church, etc.). BRAVO!

This was a fast read that seems simple on the surface but reveals a depth of truth that is so fundamental, it's easily lost in the chaos of the business world. Corporate life focuses so much on productivity and profit that it can cause us to lose site of what is most important...our relationships with others. Jim did a fantastic job of pointing this out with his vivid (and sadly enough,unexagerated)examples of I.M.Boss, who represents the worst of the worse in corporate life. He excelled at showing cause and effect in behavior and motive. His use of the Bible proves that God has a plan for us even at work in the secular world...and His plan can be accomplished best when we have respectful regard for one another. His book shows the wisdom of being obedient to two biblical commands; "Love your neighbor as yourself," and "Love your enemies." The chapter titles give a clear picture of how we can be Christian leaders in the workplace. I was reminded of areas where I need to improve in my work relationships. When you care for people first, everyone wins.

Most people in business can identify with the situations in this excellent book. If you are looking for guidance that you can use with confidence this is the place. You don't need to be religious, particularly, to find these ideas useful.

Jim Lange knows how to lead - even when it hurts. Everyone who has ever worked for an unreasonable boss or in a hostile atmoshpere will identify with the author's painful insights. Best of all this short but insightful book offers hope and help based on Biblical wisdom. Terrific reading.
