Jean Tellier (Montreal) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Everything I Needed to Know about Business-- I Learned from a Canadian (Paperback)

Seems like everyone agrees with me here...this is a great book! Gave it as a gift to 20 of my clients....all came back with positive feedback. Some of the chapters were better than others, but still the best business book I have read in awhile.

Reg Cricken (Ottawa, Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Everything I Needed to Know about Business-- I Learned from a Canadian (Paperback)

I really hate Canadiana books....but I sincerely liked this one. Brody and Raffa should be commended for not only writing a great book, but giving their proceeds to Charity as well. Kudos.
