Simply Un-put-downable!!!
The human Fabric, made me realise so much unrealised potential in the way we work as a management team. Not only is it, a great propogator of optimistic intuition in all that we do, but also, simultaneously a great wealth of fusions within global region philosophies. I came away from the book highly connected and much wiser executive and human being.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read For Anyone In Business!, March 8, 2005

By 

Steve Harper "Author, Speaker, Business Strat... (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Human Fabric: Unleashing the Power of Core Energy in Everyone (Paperback)

The Human Fabric is an amazing read for anyone interested in learning more about people and organizations and how to communicate with them more effectively. Bijoy Goswami paints an incredibly clear picture of the Maven, Relater and Evangelist (MRE) Framework and how one can utilize this to gain a better perspective of those that we encounter in both our personal and professional lives.

As a business consultant, I continually challenge my clients to understand more about who their customer is and how to communicate with them. That requires my client first understands who they are and what their core "style" is before they can learn to interact and effectively develop a relationship with their client. By utilizing the MRE Framework as a base line, it allows one to more adeptly apply appropriate techniques and strategies to achieve a compatible result.

I would highly suggest this book to anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of those that we encounter in life. Effectively understanding and communicating with people significantly increases a business professional's chance of success. The Human Fabric is a valuable reference tool in your quest to be better in all facets of your personal and professional life.

5.0 out of 5 stars An adrenaline shot for your core......., February 9, 2005

This review is from: The Human Fabric: Unleashing the Power of Core Energy in Everyone (Paperback)

The late Carl Jung said, "We cannot change anything unless we accept it, Condemnation does not liberate it oppresses us."

We all have a driving internal energy that empowers us. We also spend much energy fighting our true energy. Bijoy does an excellent job of allowing the reader to understand and become comfortable with their true gift. THF is helping individuals in our organization capitalize on their core strength, this of course results in higher productivity and better results ~ good buzz words for an Evangelist.

The fight to succeed and personal betterment is a worldwide theme, and a never-ending battle. You feel better when you are making a difference. We all like to make a difference. THF will show you how.

In Aikido it is said, "Change yourself first, before looking to change your opponent, and in the process, you might find that your opponent has changed." Actions, good thoughts, and positive energy speak louder than judgmental words and are the most powerful tools you can use when working toward a better life, business, and world.

Bijoy's book is Akido for the soul......
