5.0 out of 5 stars Simple but inspiring, March 30, 2004

This review is from: Mondays Stink! (Paperback)

For anyone who feels overwhelmed by corporate life, here is a great little book with lots of practical tips and case studies on how to get more from your work, to discover yourself, and to find greater personal fulfillment.
The writer works for a large global company, which, like many others, has undergone significant change in the last few years.
In simple coaching style, he takes the reader through the many facets of work, its value to both employee and employer, and the ways in which conflict arises and can be resolved.
For me, the central message is that the reader should take responsibility for getting the most out of work, and for looking after himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks!, January 26, 2004

This review is from: Mondays Stink! (Paperback)

This book is practically the only reason I've stayed in my current position with a national insurance company and been able to improve my performance from barely meeting expectations to far exceeding them since October when I first read Mondays Stink. My first impression of the book was that it gave me the ability to tolerate my job. I found myself referring to it as a resource, hung a few of the bookmarks around my cubicle and noticed people reading them, including my boss. The one that really hits people is the one about how I should surround myself with people who appreciate me (not a quote but that's the idea I got from it). Now I think that message to the readers who stop by my desk actually changes their approach to me and we are all happier. Imagine if they had read the whole book. I would really like more book marks so if my company of several hundred employees don't read the book, they will at least get the message by reading excerpts.  If you sell those separately, I would like to buy more. They could become my own motivational posters for my benefit and visitors.....Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mondays Stink! (but they don't have to), January 20, 2004

I've read several self-help books during my career. Carl's book has a major advantage over most of them: it doesn't waste (my) time over-discussing the issues. It's short, to the point, easy to read, and most of all, useful. Buy a copy for your boss.
