I received a copy of this book in conjunction with a large change management effort in our company. The approach is by far the most engaging and impactful recipe for building results I have seen in my 19 years in business. This book challenged my thinking and inspired me. (I am amused by comments made by other reviewers).

This is not another feel good corporate astrology book. It dives into the heart of how to manage success.

Although I started reading Mr. Goldman's book with the idea of kick-starting my somewhat sluggish proffesional career, I found the goal-oriented stratagies in "Choose What Works" to be at least equal, in their value, when applied to my personal life, both financial and in relationships with others. Written in an engaging step-by-step structure, complete with clear and concise graphics and chapter closing excercises, "Choose What Works" is a guidebook to acheieving one's potential that has paid me immediate dividends, and will continue, I'm certain, to do so, since the author's writing style makes it easy, no, a pleasure to return to the text for addtional helpings of his insightful formlua for success. High recomended and well worth your time.

I got this book at the recommendation of my brother-in-law. He reads alot of management books, and said this was really worth the time. I read it from cover to cover and decided to use it where I work, both with my staff and with my boss (who had been difficult for me). That was 2 months ago, and the differences have been remarkable. I used the approach outlined in the book, which was very detailed and easy to follow. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their results---it's no-nonsense and eye-opening.

The first business book I have read that has directly changed my outlook and my actions. This book has behind it a capacious brain and a huge heart but most of all, it has teeth.
Don't skip the spec sheets - they are where it all happens.

Howard Goldman was hired into our company facilitate the merger of a online retailer and a cosmetics company. I feel Howard's theories and consulting eventually led to the downfall of our company. His theory and consulting caused feuding, distrust, and dissention within our company and the partner, I would advise anyone who is thinking of using Howard's theories or services to keep searching.

Book filled with nonsense- a real time-waster. This guy is a jerk. Save your money for a real book.
