This review is from: Your Attitude Is Showing: A Primer of Human Relations (NetEffect Series) (10th Edition) (Paperback)

Who moved my Attitude? Chapman!! As an avid reader of books geared towards helping me cope with my personal and professional development, I know a GREAT book when I find it. Getting ahead in your career, goal-setting, working with difficult people, and teams & diversity, are just a few of subjects covered in this book. Before reading this book I wasn't really familar with the many aspects of "human relations". Now I know that "human relations" encompasses every aspect of my life and how to balance all the things that I need to. I highly recommend this book for anyone who needs to have a more pleasant and productive career/work environment, seeking to move up the corporate ladder, and for those who wish to learn the skills needed to balance work and home.

I liked this book not only because of my teacher who taught the course it was used for, but because it really helped me deal with some things at work. Even though it looked as if it got wet when I got it.....it in pretty good condition otherwise.
