loved it. Chick fil A is more than just another business. It's a business with a heart and a purpose lead by a man who cares more about people than profit. As a result the business has both touched the lives of many while earning a great profit. Reminds me of the quote by C.S. Lewis "Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither."

I got this for my husband and he is really enjoying it. He said that he likes it, but it is more about running a business then insperational reading, but good just the same.

Maybe I didn't read the reviews carefully, but I expected a somewhat more detailed story from the founder of Chick-fil-A. However, it is a very general, 95-page, large-font booklet generously interspersed with quotes from Truett's family, friends, and business partners. The structure is reminiscent of Sam Walton: Made In America, but the content is not there.

Maybe I was looking for Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People.

This is a book that give insight to someone who has worked hard, treated people fairly, and explains how he worked to produced a great product. It also told how he cared for his family as well as ones who need help.

I bought this as part of a 3 book set while in one of the restaurants. That morning, a friend on facebook joking suggested that we open up a Chick-fil-a franchise in Canada. That afternoon, I was in a Chick-fil-a and noticed these books. I was supposed to buy them I thought and so I did.

Here is a great story about how living your life with integrity and character is the only way to live. Even if you're running a business. In this day and age, it's easy to forget that there are incredible successful business people and CEOs who do care about their customers and also their employees.

This was exactly what I needed to read as I start my own personal business. It's a pleasant reminder that living an honorable life spreads peace and happiness to all those around you. Again, it was incredible affirmation to know that how I have been living my life in the last 6 months is the "right " way.

Thank you to S. Truett Cathy for sharing his stories and wisdom in an age where many of us have lost sight of what is truly important in life. Each other.

Truett Cathy has inspired me to be the best that I can be as a small business owner. He gives insight into the success of Chick Fil-A and shares principles and ideals that can be replicated. I'm inspired by his work ethic and his can-do attitude. I love the way he gets the right people on his team. I'm also a more informed Chick Fil-A consumer.

Wonderful book about a wonderful man and company! Very practical and understanding, anyone in business would do well to read this book!
