— Ronna, 11/10/2013" I agree with it's methods and principals, but i don't like the fact that it was written as a, how to get rich book. I read it for the purpose of being a better leader. "
— Gregory, 11/3/2013" I can see how the idea of this book is well-regarded but the approach was so stupid and annoying I absolutely hated it - I pictured a person reading the book to me and I wanted to punch them. There's much better books out there with the same advice. "
— Thomas, 6/21/2013" Wonderful story telling woven into an informative book that is sure to benefit anyone looking to improve their position of influence. Very quick read. "

— Laura, 6/10/2012" antastic little book on Influence. Great principles told creatively through a fictional story. Well worth the read and worth even more if you apply the content to your life. "
— Ben, 3/27/2012" The "Four Golden Rules of Influence" say it all. Quality business books (and their authors) and quality people define themselves in ways that are in line with the highest aspirations of personal development and religious traditions. "
