review 1: I think this book had some good ideas, reminders, and positive points about communication, business, networking, and even ways to improve your personal life most of which I felt were diluted with too much schmooze and sell, giving the whole thing an almost dodgy feel. It felt like all the information could have been communicated effectively, without the story, in a few blog posts, or pamphlets, which might have made it more interesting.Perhaps the format of the book didn’t translate the message properly. I didn’t feel very inspired or motivated, I just felt like I was going to be in a scene with inspirational guru Terrence Bundley (Terence Stamp) in Yes Man.This book was more puzzling than persuasive.
review 2: As far as business books go, this is a good on... moree.My notes from when I finished the book are, in total, these: "Rick and Michelle. Jay Michaels, the guru. Dial Don. The Coach." Rick's the protagonist, Michelle's his love-interest and butt kicker. Jay Michaels, the guru, knows everything about everything and always has the right answer, delivered, of course, in a series of false-humble "aw shucks, I'm just like you" homilies. But in truth, Jay is not like Michael or the other characters; Jay is a guru. Dial Don is Rick's rival -- the superstar salesman who, deep down, has a wounded ballerina's heart. Yes, Dial Don the Sales Phenom really wants to dance ballet. But he's 6' 3" 250 pounds. Impossible, right? No. Not with the coach's help; rather, The Coach. Who, pray, is The Coach? A curmudgeonly whip-cracker with a soft heart who works for Jay Michaels. But you won't see the tears that are evidence of the Coach's good heart till you've passed his tests.So how does it turn out? Does Don don the tutu? Does Rick win the girl. Let me just say this: Rick's win at the end comes when he bests Dial Don in total monthly sales. But Don wasn't at his best that month; he'd spent too much time at ballet camp. See how I did that? Revealed but didn't reveal? Read the g.d. book. You'll communicate better because of it. And Michelle -- she crushes it at the end. less
