I bought this book thinking it will be worth the effort and the investment even if one of the ideas in the book can lead to something useful. I read through a few random pages of the book and sifted through about 10 of the "ideas" (unfortunately after having bought the book). There's wasn't a single interesting idea out of the 10 (for a sample see idea no 151). Written in a rather simplistic manner (phrases like "ship without a rudder", "study after study has found that"), the book is really uninspiring. I am already getting the feeling that I am wasting my time writing a review for this book. I feel the need to save the possible buyer some dough.

I bought this book from Borders for full price 13 bucks and boy am I sorry! I should have scanned the book better first. The book is broken into so many little minor sections with inserts here and there - did they think this was a magazine? Anyway, there is NOTHING valuable at all in this book. All they do is draw a little box on every page and put dash marks around it (like a coupon you are supposed to cut out) and then tell you go to create a 3x5 card and hang it on your wall at work. By the end of the book you should have only 101 3x5 cards hanging on your wall! Stupid! Useless! What a waste of thirteen bucks! I'm so sorry and disappointed. And the suggestions are terrible! You are supposed to wrote this stuff on your 3x5 cards: "No man can serve two masters. Serve the customers first" "Common enemy-Common goal" "Reward those who deserve rewards. Be fair but not equal" "Benefits are an important part of the package. Employees don't need them and they don't provide motivation, but employees expect them"
