The Game-Changer: How You Can Drive Revenue and Profit Growth with Innovation15 reviews
A.G. Lafley, Ram Charan

Crown Business, 2008

Best Business Book Ever
Having started, built, and sold my first business to McGraw-Hill and written four business books since, I know a first class business book when I see one. "The Game Changer" is beyond fist class. It is in a space of its own. The prose is clean and deceptively clear. You risk reading it too quickly. This book is like Kissinger's "Diplomacy": every paragraph is a meal. Two to five pages a ...

Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish

Collins Living, 1998

Try Having Twins!
When my twins started arguing incessantly, I knew I needed help! I went to ParentsDigest to figure out which books sounded most helpful.

It was like getting advice not just from the ...

I didn't like the way these people were acting, but even more I didn't like the way I ...
