This review is from: Simple Works : Simple Ideas to Make Life Better (Hardcover)

I really enjoyed reading Simple Works. It is a great book, with a great message and a simple presentation. For example, the chapter on knowledge is short, however, its is very insightful. I really liked the writing style which I describe as simple but high impact.

I read and thoroughly enjoyed Chris Crouch's first book "The Contented Achiever" and made it a point to read "Simple Works." I have found Simple Works to be a great gift book because its the perfect size, an easy book to read with a message that will make a very positive difference to someone. I gave several copies as gifts to friends around Christmas.

I strongly recommend Simple Works. Hope you enjoy it!
