5.0 out of 5 stars a new series by DK, purely TP, June 19, 2005

By	T SANTOSO (Surabaya, Jatim Indonesia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tom Peters is my mentor, even that i have never met him, yet he is my mentor, to see life and business in a different sprakling way. So, i am biased, and i owned all of TP books, and i visited his website very often.

I belive DK and TP is a good combination. This books is so colorful it felt like a traveling guide, but this is a guide for the new Leader in the new millenium...

The size is small, in the similar way as of TP "Brand You trilogy series", but with the color of Re-Imagine. Some materials are from TP older books, and some are new. But all are wonderfully energizing and refreshing.

A lot of materials was taken from Re-Imagine, so if you only want to own ONE TP book, get Re-Imagine. ;-)

TP is a different type of writer, with followers and critics on both sides. he is not "common" or "neutral", he is an extremist, he is a player.

To attend his one day public seminar in Singapore you have to pay about 1000 USD per person. So this book (all his books!!! and get Re-Imagine if you have not got one) is a real bargain.

If you download his powerpoint files from his website www.tompeters.com, and did not understand some of the slides, you can read it in his books.

This is a small books full of RANTS, strong talks, and opinionated LISTs, combine with pictures, colors, and graphics.

I enjoyed this chrunchy delicious books very much and read it over the weekend.... I love Tom Peters!

A Tom Peters seminar wrapped in a quick read. I enjoyed the insight into business and leadership trends. I respect Mr. Peters tremendously. I give this book a 5 because it is an excellent quick read. So much wisdom from a management standpoint. A leadership must read.
