5-0 out of 5 stars Another great in the Powertalk Series
Using the mentality of "henry1983" all the great classics ever written by the greatest authors that ever lived deserve to be rated "one star" because "you can find them in the library" as if the rating system has anything to do with where someone obtained the content! Books here are reviewed by people who *read the book* regardless of whether they got it from the library, a local bookstore, as a gift, or at Amazon.It's almost embarrassing that this needs to be explained to what I assume is an adult--so this person may have some kind of ulterior agenda. The very fact that he rated it one star for that reason and then stated in his writing that it actually deserves 5 stars, means he invalidated his own rating and should therefore be removed (and take this paragraph along with it).
5-0 out of 5 stars Why buy?
Hey Henry from Hong Kong...News flash...copying this tape set is illegal!! That is why you should buy it. Besides it is a great set of interviews.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not bad
Nice job from Tony, but Prechter lacks deeper knowledge of the basics of finance and macro-economy to be able to make such affirmations. Not to mention that he over-simplifies all matters to make and re-make his point. Of course, his pessimistic view may still prove to be right and then he will be called a guru again. But how long has been since he declared these points and nothing happened? Some months, right? As he also agrees, TIMING is key to make or not to lose money on financial markets, so to me this book is 3 stars: not bad, but no good either. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Life is to live...
I think deep thinking people tend to be unhappy because they're not living life.They're idealizing and rationalizing life.Some of the concepts here may be good, but reading this book will leave you feeling empty, even if you agree.It's better to spend the time living your life than reading these kinds of deep books.

5-0 out of 5 stars Give this book as a present for anyone you care about
The more you read this book and go deeper into the principles of Covey the more you discover yourself and others. For many people reading Covey's book or listening to him speak literally changes their lives. This is a powerful and effective recipe for success indeed and highly recommended for people in training.
5-0 out of 5 stars All Time Classic
This book is an exceptionally well thought, intellectual work. I admire Mr. Covey for his in-depth analysis of human relationships and the new concepts he introduced like emotional bank account, paradigm shift, and writing a family mission statement. I truly believe that it is extremely important for everyone to read this book. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Valuable Lessons Well Presented
This audio program is that rare combination of valuable, practical advice presented in an entertaining, easy to absorb manner.It's clear Roger Dawson knows his topic well, but what separates him from the many other "negotiating experts" is that his material is well-organized, and filled with many real-life, entertaining examples of his principles in action, making it easy and fun to learn as you listen.5-0 out of 5 stars Win-Win
I have read many books of this genre. I listed to this audiobook set and it is great. The presentation quality is excellent, but the content quality is fantastic. For example, his win-win section is better than any other I have seen. Most people (even experts) seem to think that win-win mean that one person wins and the other person is made to think he also wins, but is not quite that way (even if they don't say it, their end result is that it MUST be that way based on their model). Dawson's is a true win-win as is this audiobook.

1-0 out of 5 stars Great tactics for people without morals or a conscience
A great eye opener for the non-salesperson!However, Dawson's tactics are what make the sales profession a sleazy business.I would never deal with anyone knowingly using these tactics, or at least I'd never deal with thema second time.His negotiating examples are riddled with bogus schemessuch as creating fictitious higher authorities (i.e. I'll have to run thedeal by my committee, my investors, my partner, etc.)He even suggestsmaking commitments you and the other party know you can't keep. Paraphrasing: 'Come down another $2,000 and I promise to get your invoicepayments in 5 days before due date,' Dawson says. 'You and he both knowit'll never happen.But at least you let him save face by pretending hegot a concession.'Bull-hockey! We're dealing in lies and deceit here,and calling it game.These tactics are good if you are void of moraldecency and are not looking for repeat business.Otherwise, learn them sothat when you see them, you can run like hell! ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!
Dale Carnegie is one of the authors I have admired for so long. There are numerous reasons why this book is a classic one. He deeply believes that in every person there is good and you can approach it. Of course, there are many negative people who don't like this book because they see everything in black and white. Carnegie on the other side advocates a really delicate, positive and humane approach to everyone around you. It comes very close to "treat the others as you want them to treat you". I am sure that if everyone read and apply the principles in this wonderful book, the world will be a better place. I am sure that you will be pleased as well with his talent to really understand what drives people. Some of the key and basic motivators he discussed are sex and being important. His viewpoint is very close to the one of the bestselling author of scientfically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex. After all genius things are usually simple. Carnegie explores the human nature and common hot buttons together with the reader and gives you tools to manage and push them at your will with the help of numerous examples. I liked that the book is practical, easy and fun to read, and most of all that it delivers great value. I can not say the same for many other books. Definitely get a copy especially if you are a "good" person and prefer to treat people with respect and dignity.

5-0 out of 5 stars If only...
If everyone in the world read this book just once, it would be such a more enjoyable place to live in...

5-0 out of 5 stars Classic of Self Help Genre

5-0 out of 5 stars Very uplifting, great paradigm for living
It's difficult to give enough praise to what Stephen R. Covey does.I love reading his books and almost anyone will benefit from browsing through the different stories about how people had the courage to face their problems and change by engaging in positive behavior.To state the obvious, 'Living the 7 Habits' is an inspiring read.I would urge a bit of caution, however, in that the laboratory of the real world may not cooperate much with a person living the seven habits.On the other hand, Covey never says it's easy and he at least indirectly reminds the reader that incorporating the seven habits into one's life is an enormous amount of work.

Zig Ziglar definately gives alot of thoughts and ideas in the book. Some of the things he said, really hit home to me and I felt I could really apply what he was talking about.
5-0 out of 5 stars so what if hes christian?
a very ignorant thing to do would be to exclude everything he has to say because he would cite the bible or jesuses teachings.given alot of people are christian, alot of people dont mind.i myself am not christian, im a setian, however it doesnt mean that even when he cites the bible, what he has to say isnt valid or doesnt hold water.
5-0 out of 5 stars Right on Target Advice!
"In my own life I always pray for guidance as I choose my goals," writes Ziglar. In the margin I dated it and wrote "I do too." This book contains so much rich, practical, doable wisdom, not wonder it's a classic for achievers. Persistence leads to desired results. He quotes Robert Collier in making the point when he noted, "Success is the sum of small efforts--repeated day in and day out."Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Absolutely great stuff from apparently America's top-most marketing whiz!
I am always amazed by the thoughtware of Jay Abraham. I have most of his published stuff, ranging from this book to all other audio/video resources. In real person, during public presentations which I have attended, he is not impressive - in fact, quite boring -, but when he writes, I hold him in great esteem. 5-0 out of 5 stars Jay Abraham has the best advice for growing businesses!!!
Jay Abraham literally shows you how to get "everything you can out of all you've got".His book provides insight into what works in marketing your business.Most people get caught up in the day to day tasks in building thier businesses.Jay Abraham provides specific methods that WILL bring you more business.He has a list of clients that have gladly paid his hourly rates and sales commissions that will amaze you!By purchasing this book, you are able to learn his methods at a small fraction of his consulting rate!If your business does not grow after you have read his book, then you are not following his advice.I have added his book and free downloads from his websites to my library.Correction... this one I keep on my desk (not on a shelf).This is a must read!!!!Buy it today!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Eternal truths (and lies)
This is the most candid and honest record of Trump's deals by the great master to date, or so it seems. This impression can be attributed, however, to the great job Tony Schwartz did on this book. Compare this to Trump's "How to get rich" and you know what I mean.
4-0 out of 5 stars Written After The Early Years: Good Trump Entertainment
Let us give him his due. He has great style and tenacity and the nerve. This book was written in better days before his fall. I have visited a number of his buildings - which I understand that he was closely and personally involved in the design and construction - and they are beautiful.
3-0 out of 5 stars For What Its Worth
You never know whether to ever really trust what Trump says or not. I actively avoided reading this book for some time. I just resisted it. I must have felt that it is a propoganda piece and I was right. It is just another win for Trump. Another chance to boast about himself and his competence. And the ironic thing is the lesson to be learned by the man on the street is exactly that. In real estate, it is simply connection and bravado after a certain level of core competencies have been achieved. This book does not go into the details of how to do what he has done.....as step by step approach beside being boring would have been ridiculous. First thing to do is go back in time and be born in a family where your father is a wealthy builder. And be born to a father who was historically in the right situation himself--building homes when the soldiers came home and started families. The second thing is go to the premier business school in the nation. After that, you do a few deals with your father and learn the business inside and out. After that make some connections through your father's friends. And the most important thing is to start your career and venture when the real estate market is absolutely deppressed. You can't help but make money.

5-0 out of 5 stars Readable introduction to economic theory
For anyone coming to Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations the first surprise is how readable it is. Famous classic of economic theory though it may be, this is no dry academic tome to be read only by people with a scholarly interest in economic history. There are no detailed tables of statistics of the sort one might expect to find in a modern book on the subject, and no mathematical analysis, indeed not very much quantitative information at all. Instead there is a long series of examples to explain such ideas as why it is more efficient to divide work among several specialists rather than have a complete task fulfilled by one person, or why slave labour is ultimately more expensive than paying free workers, even workers in cities like Boston or New York, where wages were far higher in Smith's time than those in his native Scotland.
4-0 out of 5 stars Brutal, Yet Interesting Read
This was absolutely a brutal read; however, it was more or less a paradox described as painfully interesting. The mind of Adam Smith is incredible, and I encourage an interested reader to duke it out as you'll most certainly come out of the book more informed. I would recommend Wealth of Nations to anyone who has a mild interest in Economics.Brian Oley

5-0 out of 5 stars Raving Fans: A revolutionary Approach To Customer Ser
I just read a few of the reviews for this book, Raving Fans that were less than satisfactory.I must say to those who thought after reading this book that it was pointless, simplistic to the point of insulting, disappointing, or over the top, that it's just that exact mentality the whole book is based on.I really hate to color one gender in this fashion but it unfortunately is true, usually it's a man who can't possibly see that the solutions to most customer service problems are just that simplistic.It may seem corny, over the top, or maybe simplistic but this book clearly addresses the problem with customer service today, in that no one cares or is brave enough to venture returning to true customer oriented values, or brave enough to be different.It's all about squeezing that dollar for more than what it's worth, instead of investing that dollar to develop long term loyal customers.Customers that will go out of their way to do business with a provider if the provider cares enough about them to listen to them and give above what they are expecting.I know what I am talking about, I am a customer, and at best I only occasionally see a flicker ofbarely satisfactory customer service actions with the business's I donate my dollars to, but for the most part my customer service experiences are definitely a "No-Customer-Service kinda Customer Service World". Not only am I a customer but I am a customer service provider as well.I have always performed my job with the Raving Fan mentality; I just didn't know what it was called.It's good to know that my work reputation is directly related to providing "Raving Fan" type Customer service.It's too bad that the majority of business's out there are managed by the mentality, that it's all about the dollar and the customer is privileged to have me as a provider.

4-0 out of 5 stars To all the nay sayers.....
See ya, would hate to be your cio/ceo.It's just that simple.change is good, if you don't, bye.i extrapalated the simple concepts to help build the best suite of teams' of employees.Something like i have a vision for my team of managers, and part of that vision is what they need from me, they in turn need to develop their own vision of their team which includes what their team members need from them.By building that type of relationship/team, we can really provide an exceptional product.
4-0 out of 5 stars raving fan
Raving fans is an excellent book for those that are trying to improve their businesses customer service and how the customer is viewed.Although at times it may seem over the top, from a cost analysis basis, even if a business cannot afford the costly improvements, focusing on low to little cost improvements can radically improve your business alone. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING!
This great book should be on the desk of every stressed out business executive.It brilliantly describes what it takes to be in a peak state of mind when you need to be.There is no question that business people as wellas everyone should train their bodies to get their minds in top shape.Thisbook illustrates that with great information about diet,exercise,and properattitude.A wise investment.

2-0 out of 5 stars Lacking new Insight to an age-old problem
I waited in anticipation for this book to arrive. Much hype had been made about this new research and the 21 day plan.Business men and women stuggle to balance work and home-life, and the foundation of this book isright on. If we loose weight, drink more water and exercise we will havemore energy for both. The problem with this book is that it says verylittle more.I found myself brousing through the book looking for newideas to give me some boost. The book does have some excellent chapters onhow to deal with stress in the work place. In fact, this book is worthbuying just for these two chapters.However, for those of us who read selfhelp books on a daily basis, you might be looking for more.

5-0 out of 5 stars At the Top of Your Game
Finally - a book that delivers on its promise to help you get to the top of your game, to help you achieve maximal performance levels in life - and does so using a common sense approach that integrates experience, study andscience with focus and commitment.The key is training like an athletewhether its following an exercise or nutrition program or developing apositive attitude. What a refreshingly realistic concept in this "apill a day takes the fat away" world!Through Dr. Groppel'sconvincing clarity, it all makes perfect sense.And you don't have to bein the business arena to benefit from the principles of THE CORPORATEATHLETE.Maximizing performance can be a goal that crosses age, gender andoccupational or vocational boundaries.But what makes this book stand outfor me is Dr. Groppel's holistic approach - completing the palate offitness by incorporating the physical, mental and emotional with thespiritual.It takes courage to take spirituality out of its politicallycorrect closet and plop it onto the Board Room table, to make it a keycomponent of performance enhancement.Could it be that the growth ofcourage, confidence, conviction and character is a natural end product ofone's development into the ultimate corporate athlete? I am convinced,after reading the book, that this is the case. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The transformation from a manufacturing-based economy to one that's all about service has been well documented. Today it's estimated that nearly 75 percent of Americans work in the service sector. Instead of producing tangibles--automobiles, clothes, and tools--more and more of us are in the business of providing intangibles--health care, entertainment, tourism, legal services, and so on. However, according to Harry Beckwith, most of these intangibles are still being marketed like products were 20 years ago.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Selling the Invisible: The Art of War
Harry Beckwith's Selling the Invisible reminds me of Sun Tzu's The Art of War in that it is not so much a manual on its subject as it is a primer on how to think about its subject. Knowing nothing of service marketing when I started to read it, I found many of its precepts counterintuitive (selling relationships?) but with the numerous examples aided by my own observation of the things Beckwith talks about, my eyes were opened in a way Sun Tzu's first readers must have been. Beckwith understands the core of service marketing is the service itself and focusing on the consumer's needs, not clever marketing designed to separate the customer from his cash or dazzle him with an empty sales pitch for unwanted products (take notice, Apple). This relationship to the customer and understanding his or her needs defines the successful business and indeed IS the successful business. Beckwith illustrates this with many practical strategies relevant to any service business.

1-0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy This Book!
Terrible is all I can say.This author breaks every rule he suggests to you.The introduction is boring.It is small story chapters with a bold sentence or two at the end.These are the principles he is suggesting.You can read these bold sentences in less than 30 minutes.Don't bother to buy this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars A must-have book for anyone involved in marketing and selling
This book is a real page-turner. (My copy is dog-eared with notes written in margins and post-it notes stuck on 11 different pages.)Harry Beckwith is a marketing genius. One quote I have used over and over again in presentations:"People who say, 'The businesses in our industry are basically alike' should recognize a human trait.People feel a need to justify their buying decisions, so they look for differences upon which to base their decisions. What does this mean to a company in an industry of lookalikes?It means that the more alike two products are, the more important each difference becomes."So very true.

5-0 out of 5 stars Tune Your Thinking Skills!
In the _Principles of Efficient Thinking_, Barbara Branden delves into the theory and practice of psycho-epistemology (the habits of thinking), including much material that seems to have been neglected in the Objectivist corpus of late. The material is clear and well-supported with examples, although a bit slow for more advanced students. Most intriguing were her discussions of the multiple levels of focus, common errors of reasoning, the requirements of good definition, and the differences between associational and conceptual thinking. Every thinking person should listen to this tape set at least once. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent concept; a bit repetitive
This book offers a great way to approach difficult conversations.There are several templates in the book to show the reader how to do this.However, after reading it, it does tend to repeat certain aspects of the material.I am sure that some of that is for effect; but for someone who is capable of applying material quickly it can be somewhat boring.I still recommend it as a read, but I do not recommend that you need to completely read the book to get the overall message.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good content-very dry
The content is excellent but she narrated her own book and it's very dry to listen too.I recommend buying the book and working through that.

5-0 out of 5 stars It really works!
The information and the examples in the book are easily applied and really do make a difference.I used the book as a reference working with first line managers; it is especially useful to them in confronting passive aggressive communication styles. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive review of business practices and buzz words
Comprehensive review of business and management practices.I enjoyed listening to it.

1-0 out of 5 stars Very difficult to find what you're looking for.
There are 8 sides of tape. Yet there is no Table of Contents and the tapes are not organized by topic. You need to listen to them as though they comprised a novel. It is so difficult to navigate to the topics you wish tolisten that these tapes are a waste of time and money. ... Read more
