The Science of Success: How Market-Based Management Built the World's Largest Private Company (Your Coach in ... 67 reviews
Charles G. Koch
Your Coach in a Box, 2008
Brilliant!
I have a bachelor's degree in business management and this book came out at the right time since I have been looking for books on management that match my philosophy and brush up on what I learned. My only complaints with this book is that it is too short and I would have like to have seen more real-life examples of how MBM was successful.
Essentially, Charles Koch outlines a management ...

Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies24 reviews
Charlene Li
Your Coach in a Box, 2008
A timely and thorough introduction to social media
Groundswell is a great book providing a thorough and up to date discussion of how to use social media, and more, to connect with and energize your customers. The book approaches the discussion from the reader's objectives - listening to customers, talking to them, energizing them, empowering them - rather than from technologies or approaches. It has plenty of discussion of how to use technology ...

The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea83 reviews
Bob Burg, John David Mann
Your Coach in a Box, 2008
Awesome Book!
Burg's enjoyable book, The Go-Giver builds on the lessons outlined in Endless Referrals. It combines an entertaining story, with likable characters, and a deceptively simple message which can be applied in both personal and professional settings with ease.
With little introspection it's easy to see how applying the principles discussed in The Go-Giver would quickly add value in any ...

The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life (Coach Series)214 reviews
David Zinczenko
Your Coach in a Box, 2006
It's working!
I started to read this book at the beginning of March and I weighed 246 pounds (height: 6'5''). I've never been super fat but I don't remember seeing my stomach muscles since the 6th grade. I followed this book's principles pretty well. It is now May 12th and I weigh 227. More importantly, I feel better. This is not a gimmick diet. I'm not a huge fan of the title because it sounds ...

The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations (Your Coach in a Box)56 reviews
Ori Brafman, Rod A. Beckstrom
Your Coach in a Box, 2008
A pleasure to read 905 527 b5326
This book is simply a great read. The best part about this book is the writing itself. It's simple, short and to the point. This book could have easily been dragged out over 400 pages, but it wasn't. It was just the right size.
Moreover, the concepts in the book were very well explained. My favorite section deals with how to battle something that is decentralized. This section is ...

Denis Waitley
Your Coach in a Box, 2006
A great buy
The instructors (female and male) employ clear and mellifluous diction for pronunciations, definitions and the giving of witty examples. This, combined with magnificent music is conducive to absorbing the vocabulary being taught. There are thoughtfully placed respites in the course of this 9 CD presentation where Dennis Waitley adds his motivating messages . Knowing some of the words beforehand ...

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Your Coach in a Box, 2008
are you fooled???
i find it fascinating the diverse reviews this book has received, it seems to have a polarizing effect on readers! for me the book was engrossing, but admittedly i am a fan of taleb's writing and philosophy of life. while he is clearly not concerned with journalistic rules he is able to communicate his point. so what if his sentence structure is not perfect. what i appreciate most about his ...

Master Strategies for Higher Achievement: Set Your Goals and Reach Them - Fast! (Your Coach in a Box)10 reviews
Brian Tracy
Your Coach in a Box, 2005
Wonderful audio program!
If you've listened to any Brian Tracy tapes, or seen his videos, you know he can go on for a long, long time--on many different subjects. Much is repeated, on virtually every one of his programs, this is no exception. However, a lot of new, invigorating stuff is on these CD's. The price alone makes this an excellent program. All of Tracy's audio/video programs on Nightingale Conant sell for ...

Beyond the Goal: Eliyahu Goldratt Speaks on the Theory of Constraints (Your Coach in a Box)8 reviews
Eliyahu Goldratt
Your Coach in a Box, 2005
Pure genius
This guy is a stinkin' genius. The concepts he lays out in this book make so much sense. I've already lent it out, and can't wait to get it back to listen to it again. He finds a way to lay out some pretty deep thoughts on TOC, but makes them easy to understand. I am constantly using some of his ideas in my meetings specifically around the number of metrics needed and changing the rules of ...

Joe Vitale
Your Coach in a Box, 2007
Continuation of The Secret
I agree with so many of the other reviewers that this is the next step up from The Secret. It delves more into the ideas and gives you numerous exercises to work on. Another book which gives you numerous exercises(recipes) and a great background on the Law of Attraction (The Secret) is [ASIN:1419674609 Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook]]. I especially enjoyed this for its easy ...

The Attractor Factor: 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (Or Anything Else) from the Inside Out (Coach Series)219 reviews
Joe Vitale
Your Coach in a Box, 2007
A Basic Guide to the Law of Attraction
This book has some good metaphysical concepts, and provides a strong outline for the practical use of the law of attraction. The orientation is mostly in the direction of increasing material abundance, as evidenced by the subtitle, "5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or Anything Else) from the Inside Out", and the cover image of a magnet attracting coins and bills. However, the principles ...

Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom...Why the Meaningful Life is Closer Than You ...64 reviews
Jonathan Haidt
Your Coach in a Box, 2007
Provides deep insight into human nature
Anyone who routinely reads Amazon.com reviews will find that most focus on the following themes:
(a) Readability of the book
(b) Value of the content
(c) The degree to which the reviewer agreed/disagreed with the premises, assumptions, arguments, and conclusions of the writer, with 1 star being the extreme negative evaluation and 5 stars being the reverse of that.
I rate this book five ...

Five Minds for the Technology Professional
Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is a psychologist and author known for his theory of multiple intelligences. Application of his theory, especially for education, has been controversial. But I think his latest book, Five Minds for the Future, is a must read for technology professionals.
His thesis is that, "...vast ...
