Good value

This is a good value for a book that is essential to learn in if you are in any form of manufactoring or services. It was even better because it was an easy listen in the car between meeting.

Food for thought

Dr Eli forces us to examine our long held beliefs,assumptions and behavioural patterns. I think most people would readily identify with Alex Rogo's character and his challenges at the workplace and at home.Definitely an all-time business classic !

Great storyline & worth the read ...

I was given this book at my workplace. I delayed reading it, honestly, because it looked a little old school. However, once I picked it up, I realized why it had been rated the #1 business book on several all-time lists. It's easy to read in a story format. It flows easily and allows the...

BAD CD - chapters mislabeled & out of order

Sound quality was great and the effects kept it interesting. Unfortunately, the computer files were mislabeled so when I put this on my ipod the chapters were rearranged. When I was listening, the chapters were presented out of order. It didn't seem to matter.This was required reading for me...
