5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book To Read and To Share With Friends, January 21, 2002

By	Bart Singleton (Birmingham, AL USA) - See all my reviews

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!

Anything with Chris Crouch's name on it is worth more than the price you've paid. This book can be read in an evening and it is full of simple little ideas that you can implement at little or no cost. I read it, loved it and it has helped me to live a more productive and peaceful life. I recommend Chris' blog if you want to check out what he is all about...his work is the real deal for anyone looking to live a better life.
