This review is from: 101 Ways to Have a Great Day at Work (Paperback)

When a book has a smiley-face on the cover, you pretty much know what to expect. And you won't be disappointed with this one; it's upbeat all the way. This optimistic book would make a great little gift (even for yourself). Stephanie Goddard Davidson brings her considerable expertise to this simple little book of 101 tips (one per page) for improving your productivity. Here's how to minimize stress and become happier at work. The suggestions range from one-sentence instructions to a couple of paragraphs each, and are valid, practical and often thought-provoking. We at getAbstract recommend it to anyone with a job and a susceptibility to being cheered up - it just might get you through a bad day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Having a great day at work is not as hard as it may seem!, April 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Ways to Have a Great Day at Work (Paperback)

There are times when it may seem impossible to have a great day at work, but reading through the techniques and suggestions in this book make it easy. I found them to be helpful, as well as inspirational. Time is generally a commodity that we don't have much of during the work day, but the techniques in the book are short and to the point. Ms. Davidson also covers a wide variety of topics, from listening to employee recognition to time management and more. I'm recommending to my company to award this book to employees that are being promoted, or as contest prizes. It's that good!
