" Interesting. You pick up some worthwhile concepts. "

" [Unabridged Audiobook] I thought this book would be much better. I listened to it because it had a 5-star rating on Amazon. I'm dissapointed... A little bit too much common sense for me. Plus, I did not agree with everything that was said in the book. Overall, I think it contains some very good and practical information, but the book was just not for me. Either way, I learned something. "

" An easy read with practical tasks towards self improvement. "

" He makes too many assumptions about what the reader's problems are. He's used to working with a certain type of person and that person should read his book. It is less helpful for others outside that type. "

" Really disappointed. I had to read this for work. It's about the 20 things people do that annoy other people or prevent us from working well with others. Seems like sort of obvious stuff. I'm about 2/3 of the way done and haven't had any big revelations. "

" Brings you face-to-face with all the destructive interpersonal habits that might be holding you back from moving to the next level in your position. A candid and useful read. "

" Provides some views for self-reflecting. In overall, the points are well illustrated with stories and examples, but for me something was missing... maybe I should be more succesfull. "

" met one of the authors on a plane and he gave us a copy- he was a total trip! fun, engaging man with a lot to teach. The book isn't what i need in my career right now (geared towards successful executives) but much of the book's advice was thought-provoking. "
