Vital Friends: The People You Can't Afford to Live Without Audiobook

" very interesting look at relationships and how different relationships can help you. I also really enjoy the online participation "

" This book seemed too mushy HR-friendly to it, even though it was discussing HR-nonfriendly things like MAKING FRIENDS in the workplace. Has some good tidbits but mostly forgettable. "

" recommended by my sister Meadowlark, I found it very insightful, especially as a business person. "

" This book was OK for me. I thought it would have more suggestions for finding a friend at work. Rather, it segments the type of people you will find to be friends at work. It did teach me to tell friends why they are so special in your lifeand to thank them. "

" Who knew that people who have a "best friend at work" are seven times as likely to be engaged in their job?! This book offers this and other statistics like it. While I enjoyed taking the online assessment of the people in my life to discover exactly what their contributions are, in general this book just was an easy read with a simple not too surprising message--we are people who need people, and different people bring different things to our lives, and we should capitalize on those things for each individual. The author also busts the myth that we should keep our work and personal lives separate. Friends at work are a real boon for satisfaction. "

" Easy read, good common sense reminder but not easy to do in today's working environment. "

" All based on extensive research and polling by folks with Gallup, examines the roles our various friends play. In particular, focuses on the value of having a best friend at work, claims that we are 7 times more engaged and likely to succeed when we have a best friend on the job. "

" Just be ready to inspire and make sure you know the 8 vital rules of having a "can't afford to live without" friend. "

" Friends in workplace. Interesting corporate-book... "

" I enjoyed this quick and easy read. Bottom line, it's ok to like the folks you work with. "

" Quick, easy read I picked up from my boss. It makes so much sense and a lot of it is what I already knew, but maybe I didn't spend this much time labeling it. As I was reading, I just started to name my "vital friends" and realized how lucky I am. "

" Worth reading, but fairly obvious. "

" Meh. Dull and not incredibly useful. "

" I think that I must have read that book in a matter of minutes because I couldn't get to the meat of it. And when I was done I determined that it was all milk. "

" An interesting perspective on the importance of Friends in the workplace. I liked it. "

" I read this book on a break at work and shared it with co-workers. We had a great discussion! Find out who your vital friends are and why you need them at work. "

" This book deals with the necessity of having vital friends. It categorizes frinds by type (builder, navigator, collaborator, etc.) It is worth scanning thru. "

" Read NOV 2006 "

" I got this from Gallup. It's really quite interesting but sometimes quite simple. "

" Good quick read that puts into perspective the multiple pillars that are important to balance in one's life. "

" This book was interesting but not as profound for me as some of the other Gallup work like First Break All the Rules and Now Discover Your Strengths. "

" worthy to read....one of the best author in the world.. "
