Just finished listening to this book on CD. It was great!
Definitely not what I expected - the book is a dialogue between a high exec in a larger corporation and his newer lower exec, training him on dealing with people. I've been reading a lot of these fiction-non-fiction books lately, and I kind of like them. It's definitely a different experience than reading the standard textbook like approach. I do like the intellectual feel of standard nonfiction books, but this one had a great combination of both.
And the message was superb. I know I've heard similar things before, but not quite in this way. You know when you hear a message and sometimes, even though you dont mean to, you start to apply it to someone else that "really needs to hear this" and you sort of forget about yourself? I know, you probably have never done that, but I'm usually very guilty of it. Well, this book doesn't allow you to do that. It cuts it off right from the beginning, and reminds you not to do it all throughout. Nevertheless, everyone should read or listen to this. It's not just about "self-help" but about life skills in business, relationships, etc.
