| John has written some wonderful books, but should throw in the towel. It's sad to see the author of so many great books putting out the books he has been doing lately. After his last book I vowed not to read any more of his. However, I was talked into trying this one.It might be a shade better than the last one, but nowhere up to his previous standards. |

| Jim Collins and his team of researchers have surveyed over 1,400 companies, systematically analysed 6,000 publicly available articles, and carried out numerous face to face interviews with senior managers. The finding, the single most important factor to the health of a company - Leadership. The author asserted that they purposely steer away from such attribute as there are no shortage of business books paying the same platitude.
Every company vision statement reads like the next one. When did ... Read More: |

| The author does an excellent job of explaining how ethics, policy, biology, culture and big business are connected and have shaped the foods that we eat today. Many of our eating habits in the Western diet simply do not make sense and ultimately have global repurcussions.
The author raises many good questions without sounding moralistic or judgemental. Why eat imported organic produce from a foreign country if the shipper burns huge quanitities of fossil fuels to deliver it to you? Why continue ... Read More: |

| Originally published in 1936, How to Win Friends and Influence People is the archetype of the practical human relations handbook. It is based on courses in public speaking that had been taught in adult education by Dale Carnegie since 1912 (and to put to rest a popular assumption, he was no relation to the magnate Andrew Carnegie). It is an unusual little book, written in a highly personalized, colloquial style that is reminiscent of a lecture.What's separates this book from others that have come and gone since the 1930s is it's ...

| Frank Capra's meditation on the connections each man builds to those around him is the pure, distilled essence of holiday spirit. In a world that's forever beating us down with reminders of our isolation and of the lack of meaning in our lives, this is a bright and shiny rebuttal.
I don't know that anyone but Jimmy Stewart could play the nice guy who always does the right thing and inject that character with the darkness necessary to turn a schmaltzy premise into a profound statement of each man's place in his world. A great ... Read More: |

| I was so excited about the book! Read all the ones before I was 500% IN LOVE! Happy thoughts all over! Then I read it.
What a waste! What utter rubbish! I feel so upset and in a way betrayed. Could I go to bed after reading this? No! I was livid! She made little or no sense with her plot and character development. Some people call the plot non-stop action but seriously, it was just random things happening for no reason. This caused the book to be very disjointed and lacking in coherence. It was as if a child were writing, ... Read More: |

| First of all, this is a must read book for any historian, political scientist, or public servant. After having lived nine years in Germany and England myself, I arrived back in the U.S. in 2004 to "shock and awe" at how pedantic and manipulative the politcal process in the U.S. had become (perhaps it was me that had changed and not the political process?). For one thing, W. was elected by scaring people into voting for him. This most recent political debate has been no less frustrating for me. Despite what I consider to be a good result, I can ...
