review 1: Ferrantes' book may be a teaching tool reserved for that large pool called 'self help' but what sets it apart is that each lesson contains an interesting story. Louis Ferrante scores with presentation in this telling book on success in the Mafia, the corporate world or regular social connections for that matter.Most everything of value that the reader can take from this book could come down to common sense stuff and the golden rules of kindergarten like: don't lie, don't steal, wait your turn, be fair, that kind of stuff.Of all the books of this type I have come across, this one falls second to How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie, which is an honorable position.
review 2: This is the author's version of rules and lessons that the Mafia use
... morethat could be applied to a business. It is divided into 3 parts: Lessons for a Soldier(Employee), Lessons for a Capo(Middle Management), and Lessons for a Don(Boss). The Lessons are short and direct. Some examples: Lesson 1 Make Them an Offer They Can't Refuse, Lesson 15 Count on Yourself and You'll Never be Counted Out, Lesson 51 Deliver the Goods: Stand Behind Your Name, Lesson 71 Tip the Coat Check: CharityAlthough not a business person I think a lot of the lessons could be applied to everyday life. Going to let my manager husband read this. Great fast read with juicy Mafia details and a little about his prison stint. Some great quotes in this book. Got this book from the Giveaways. less

Enjoyable, if light. Lots of material here, but not really any major themes to tie it all together.
