"I'm loving this book but is one of those you read a chapter or two a day and then ponder you can improve in your own life...but then again I love books like this.. I am reading it with Excellence in mind! Probably my favorite book I read this year. "
— Jean (5 out of 5 stars)
" It was an interesting book for its time. Tom Peters saw what was coming, and most companies ignored what he saw. Now it's time for the book to be donated. "
— Leland, 5/26/2013" Another excellent book from TP if a little old now! "
— Lewis, 3/16/2013" An optional-read book on organizational behavior and design for knowledge workers, managers, executives, and entrepreneurs. "
— Lori, 11/17/2012" It seemed a revelation when I read it some 15 years ago. In hindsight it seems like a bit hyped up. "
— Michael, 4/3/2012" Love the simple, yet powerful bite-size ideas offered in this book! "
— Carol, 5/3/2011" Fun read and prsented in a very concise manner. <br/> <br/>I would have preferred a little more depth with supporting stories. "
— David, 5/2/2011" Basic and sound practices that seem to be ignored by far too many corporate entities. Nothing profound. Peters himself calls this a book for bathroom reading, but bathrooms are also places of inspiration and discovery--ask Martin Luther! <g> "
— George, 1/8/2011" Read the toc. Big items were: pay attention to the details, celebrate failure, listen, be excellent and awesome all the time. "
— Michael, 12/28/2010" good reminders from the master, in easy to browse format "
— Marci, 12/9/2010" The type and formatting was a little over the top, but it had some good reminders about life that I enjoyed and will definitely share with others. <br/> "
— Suciadhillon, 7/10/2010" An experienced Peters gives away a lot of secrets. <br/>It is a slow, light read. <br/>But heavy in content. Really helpfull to keep in mind small things that make a difference "
— Fernando, 5/23/2010" Reading this book is like watching one of Tom Peters' rants -- it's a collection of good (little) ideas, one after another, with no plot, just a ton of stuff that's obvious once he says it and that we all should be doing to make business better. "
