2.0 out of 5 stars I Don't Get It, April 5, 2008
This review is from: Boom!: 7 Choices for Blowing the Doors Off Business-As-Usual (Hardcover)
I truly don't understand what the fuss is all about. In terms of background, I am a successful entrepreneur and business owner who has read a hundred of these types of books. I found this book vague, rather remedial and the authors simply regurgitated the same old stuff. It sounds very much like their book "Guts" which was actually a pretty good read. I feel you would be much better off re-reading one of the classics like Think & Grow Rich, an early book by Dale Carnegie or a true new classic like Visionary Life or Visionary Business by Marc Allen. Trust me .... you will thank me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tells it like it is..., October 15, 2007
This review is from: Boom!: 7 Choices for Blowing the Doors Off Business-As-Usual (Hardcover)
I have long admired Kevin and Jackie Freiberg -- they are gifted business writers and speakers. If you haven't seen them in person, then you should make a point of doing so the next time they're in town. This particular book -- Boom! -- is different from many business books of this type in that Kevin and Jackie take off the gloves and really tell it like it is. Boom! is NOT politically correct, and the Freibergs don't beat around the bush. Their mission is to fight the growing epidemic of Dead People Working -- you know, those men and women in many businesses who have mentally checked out long ago, but who still come to work to be sure they get that regular paycheck. The Freiberg's antidote is a mix of inspirational stories of people who are fully engaged in the work that they do (people like ski instructor/amputee Kim Francom, and the Dancing Cop, Tony Lepore) along with a series of seven prescriptions (called "Choices") for becoming indispensable on the job. These choices include such things as "Be a player, not a bystander" and "Choose service over self-interest." Long story short, Kevin and Jackie Freiberg have written an engaging book that is certain to forever change your work life -- and perhaps even your personal life -- for the better. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of their books yet!, October 3, 2007
This review is from: Boom!: 7 Choices for Blowing the Doors Off Business-As-Usual (Hardcover)
Having just completed the book, I found it to be the Freibergs' best book yet! I thoroughly enjoyed their practical suggestions to become more engaged to my organization and to be able to make a difference to my employer and more importantly to myself. It is without any hesitation that I can recommend this book to just about everyone.
