5.0 out of 5 stars Older Generations find Change Ideas Helpful, January 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Eagle & The Monk: Seven Principles of Successful Change (Hardcover)

(from an 80 year old reader who does not have a computer from which she can submit a review...) In regards to "The Eagle & The Monk," I am finding it most interesting (and helpful) reading. Many of us older people do have difficulty in adapting to the changes going on around us. I am one of these. And, thinking back, I can remember that my own grandmother had this same difficulty. When I was a child, the radio, movies, serve-yourself grocry stores, etc. were just coming in. Grandma wasn't able to fully understand all these new things. Now, here I am, a Grandma myself, and I wonder about computers and all the other things which are coming into being day by day. All the same, I think it is wise to try to understand WHY new things botyher us "old folks" so much. I further think that your book is going to help me in doing this.

Wow! Every once in a while a book comes along that grabs your attention and really makes you think about how to deal with the world around you.

The message contained in this book can help everyone in the family deal with the never ending changes life seems to bring. In fact, this book could be the perfect gift to send someone dealing with significant change.
