Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Widener's acclaim as a professional speaker can certainly be understood when listening to his reading. He does not take a dramatic or theatrical approach, but offers a delivery appropriate to the format Listeners who enjoy attending seminars of the Seven Habits and Who Moved My Cheese? variety can expect the same type of solid and engaging motivational storytelling they have grown accustomed to hearing in hotel conference rooms. In portraying the interactions between his two protagonists—ambitious young business school graduate Marcus Drake and seasoned tycoon Bobby Gold—Widener displays an especially keen ear for both mentor-mentee relationships and generational differences in the world of work. The situations and insights ring true with clarity and purpose. A Doubleday hardcover (Reviews, May 5). (Aug.)

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Influence, August 11, 2008
By S. Rausch (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the finest books that I have ever read. I was concerned because of the small size of the book but it is jam packed with powerful information. Material is well presented and in logical order - after I read my copy I purchased 12 more to pass out to friends and work associates. Everyone I gave a copy to is raving also. Buy it today and begin improving your life tomorrow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick and entertaining read , August 9, 2008
This is an excellent book for people who do not want a lot of detail. The use of a story about a real person is an effective way to commnuicate his points about what it takes to become more successful. This would be an excellent book to give a recent college graduate as a present.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and to the Point, August 10, 2008
This was an easy read and really opened up my eyes to some of the things we take for granted. The small things we do can make a great impact on our future success. Good or Bad, we decide by our actions. The story in this book really helps put the Golden Rule into perspective.
