Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

At his business and management seminars-costing up to $2000-Peters is witty, engaging, and entertaining. Frequent requests for copies of presentation materials from attendees encouraged him to write this book. While some of the material is derived from his other books (e.g., Liberation Management, LJ 11/1/92), the presentation is fresh, mixing opinions with measures of puck, pluck, and petulance-in sum, typical Peters. Too popular to be ignored, Peters has a better understanding of what's going on than his critics would like to believe. Here he considers the possibility and reality of the virtual corporation (no employees are even better than a decentralized organization) and lifelong learning. For Peters, business is becoming in the metaphysical sense. However, while Peters talks about trust, he is shy on corporate responsibility and ethics; and whatever happened to Stu Leonard, that hero from an earlier book? Still, the book is a bargain compared to a seminar, and it's sure to be in demand.

From Booklist

What a deal! Can't afford to shell out $2,000 for one of excellence guru Peters' pricey seminars? It's all here, he claims, in this original paperback for only $14. Included are Peters' clever, peppy "visuals" and provocative, catchy, often iconoclastic, and sometimes puzzling epigrams and one-liners, such as "Three cheers for screw-ups," "Specialists aren't special," and "[Today's] organizations [are] sandtraps of sobriety." Chapter titles include "Toward the Abandonment of Everything," "Corporation as Rolodex," and "Toward Wow!" Worried about missing out on the in-person enthusiasm? No problem! Also available is the "simultaneous Random House AudioBook" for only $12. MTV for MBAs. EX-A-LENT!!! David Rouse

4.0 out of 5 stars Tom Tom Club, October 6, 2000
By Kevin B. Fillips "K3v" (Lexington, KY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With a Copyright of 1994, its a little dated, but the basic message remains clear. Innovate or become extinct. Tom's enthusiam is apparent with each chapter.

If you can overlook the examples of corporations that are no longer around, and listen to the concepts, ( refer of course to the audio version) its a great program.

For true members of Tom's movement, this book remains a variation on a theme. A must have for the "Work Matters crowd" a cheap substitute for his live programs. Or a great refresher course for someone that has been to one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tom Peter's $1,500 a day seminar in a $14.00 book. Buy it!, May 23, 1996
By A Customer
Since the publication of In Search of Excellence, Tom Peters' books have consistently provided a much needed kick in the seat of the pants to would be entrepreneurs and corporate leaders. His messages related to the need for innovation and a focus on excellence provide a refreshing challenge to the "business as usual" school and to those with a typical short term survival management philosophy. In The Tom Peters Seminar (subtitled "Crazy Times Call for Crazy Organizations") Peters uses his $1,500 a day seminars as the basis for a quick, concise analysis of the problems and solutions associated with the new, scary, and impossible to stop information economy. As Peters relates in the book, "Do something. Make things happen. It's inaction that kills you." This book is the place to start

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Tom's Best Books, May 5, 2006
This is essential Tom Peters. It is the beginnings of what he later wrote about in Re-Imagine! It may not have too much to implement in terms of process but definitely has plenty of thought adjustments that should be made to survive, NO THRIVE, in the new economy. It can help you regain your drive because Tom identifies many of the frustrating business practices that we all deal with and encourages you to get mad about it and do something about it.

This is a great book if you want to open your mind to new possibilities for your career. It helped shape my overall attitude about business by revealing some of what business can and must become. Much more concise and to the point and builds upon his prior, and more lengthy, books. It is one of his best if not 'the' best books he has written. Tom's energy is contagious. Worth every penny.
