review 1: I've read few books written in the story format about self-improvement. This is another one. The story is light and interesting and predictable. But the concept is a little different in that it assumes you already have many gifts and talents, and you are going to go find a subject to share them with. You are going to help someone else be "greater than yourself." As I was reading, I realized that I was almost reading a story about my husband, who has been a top-notch manager in a difficult field. He has helped so many engineers and technology gurus become all that they could be, without worrying that he was the one on top. I think this is a great concept/principle to put into practice. It fits well with a Christian-thinking mind.
review 2: I marked this a no
... morenfiction, though the story itself is actually a work of fiction. And I think that is why I gave it four stars. This is the first book I've read by Farber, and I really enjoyed his style. I found the concepts that he presented in "Greater Than Yourself" to be intriguing and inspiring. I agree with Farber that most humans have a feeling, deep down, to want to help others become more. I was quickly sucked into the idea, and started thinking about who I could work with.The story is writen in a fast pace, with well thought-out characters. I enjoyed this a lot, and was able to finish it in a couple of sittings. less

a short and interestingly written book on leadership, don't expect too much depth.
