Marketing Champions: Practical Strategies for Improving Marketing's Power, Influence, and Business Impact
by Roy A. Young
Edition: Hardcover
Availability: In Stock

Is Marketing Champions Really Worth It? Well is Breaking the Marketing Code Important to You?

I'm not sure just how much thought went into this book. It's also very hard to figure out how many hours the authors Roy A. Young, Allen M. Weiss and David W. Stewart contributed to the over all preparation of the concepts put into this book.

But after countless hours reading the chapters of this book before the advance uncorrected proof, scrutinizing the first five chapters with heavy introspection and experimentation of the ideas I can tell you the following: It would take you countless personal hours, immeasurable amounts of interviews, and the experience of CEO's from dozens of companies to amass the wealth of knowledge that you can easily pull out of this book.

So would you want to try to attempt what these authors have personally done for you in order to give you insight beyond the competition? If you wouldn't do you dream of failing in your endeavors as a marketing advisor, consultant or company? Well I'm very proud to say that some of the above endorsements from Phil Kotler and Seth Godin are more than advertising endorsements by some of the leading marketing experts. But they are genuine endorsements that really help you to recognize how rare this book is. More importantly how different the perspective of these three gentleman really are.

For example their input about what is a marketing compass?, How does a marketing compass work?, and what you can do to put your own marketing compass in order are sure to cause you to think more deeply about these concepts.

Part one and two are so full of marketing ideas, so architecturally rich in sound marketing concepts that truly the authors could have clearly pulled their stop sign out and said "hey were going to stop right here" but thank God they didn't. They went on in part three to go deeper than a scuba diver in their exploration of how to manage east. Exploring ideas that show you how you can "Bust Silos and Build Bridges" giving you five techniques to apply some wonderful ideas.

And this is after a wealth of information where they show you how to break down your Myths of Marketing. I'll admit first that my myths were trapped but what I discovered from Roy Young is quite an eye opening list of good marketing strategies that work. Their input on how to improve upon your Marketing language will make a huge difference in your marketing relationships. Whether they are in the company or outside of the company the language barriers with in your grasp are very limited.

Here's your chance to break the marketing code. This really is a great book with so many ideas I put it in the reference part of my library. Why? Because I'll be using it to reference for many years to come. Thanks for your time....................

The Holocaust Chronicle
by Marilyn Harran
Edition: Hardcover
Availability: In Stock
 

 
A Crying Shame...And A Constant Reminder!

As a child who lived in the Chicago housing projects prior to moving to Germany I became lost for words as I turned the pages of one of the most moving books I've ever experienced. Places I've seen as a playful child running across the country side now become surreal in my mind as I think about the innocent lives that were slaughtered on that same ground. And now that I've observed the photographs of my Jewish brothers and sisters in this book "The Holocaust Chronicle" some things will never be the same for me. I also believe that you will view life differently after you've read this book.

For one this book describes the ghetto's of Europe during the Holocaust using pictures and words that one would never imagine. It has so much depth and meaning even in the words that it is quite amazing. For instance the word "ghetto" (which in the United States has become a word referencing the slums where poor Americans live) will no longer have the same meaning for me as it use to. Some call the Housing Projects that I came from in Chicago a ghetto...but this is a poor, poor use of the word now that I've observed the ghettos of Europe during the Holocaust. Read the book and you'll see exactly what I mean.

The Holocaust Chronicle is an excellent resource for virtually anything you would like to know about this event in history. This book should instantly become a part of all libraries in every community, private and personal.

Having lived in Germany for nearly 5 years as a lad I've always considered myself quite a history buff especially concerning military affairs since my father spent his whole life serving the U.S. Army. But I must say this amazing book proves that I am very ignorant of what went on from 1933-1946. The humiliation, the physical and mental anguish, even the use of art and symbols were all reconstructed to try to destroy the Jew but thank God they were delivered from the hands of their enemies. Although this book does not turn its face away from death but sometimes deals with it head on it still contains with in it the hope of deliverance, the determination of faith and the triumph of those who suffer persecution.

I have now done much diligence to understand this part of history so that I can connect with other human beings on this planet in a way that is respectful. I must say Louis Weber the publisher and all the contributing Authors and Consultants who poured their hearts and souls into the development of "The Holocaust Chronicle" deserve much credit.

Although there is much suffering between these pages the details within this book give us great understanding. It helps us all to realize, respect and appreciate why we should be committed to never allow this to happen again regardless of our religious beliefs, cultural, racial or ethnic background. As you turn the pages you will be exposed to the criminals but at the same time you will find yourself rejoicing when heroic men and women went beyond what their government would not give them the authority to do. Please hurry up and get this book, read it today and share your ideas with others as I dedicate this review to my Jewish mother Anita Gold.

Mind Games

Edition: Paperback
Availability: Currently unavailable
 

 
Why should you Mind? Or Why should you play with it?

In the book writing industry there are hoards of books that grab your attention by title. So the question becomes why should you mind? or why should you play with it? --that is your mind-- I mean when it's the only one you've got... why waste time playing "Mind Games"? Are there other things you could do better? You know what I mean. I mean are there other sure fired ways to help your performance with the human brain ...ways other than playing with it? Sure there are many ways to employee your knowledge and plenty of other ways to use life experiences to become more productive. Here you go! Check out this neat little book called "MIND GAMES". It's full of some interesting ways to play with your mind and dozen of other ways to help your brian grow.

I've discovered or uncovered many ways that were once hidden from me all because I stopped to play around with the way I think. You'll be surprised at how much a little playing around with it helps your brian to become open and ready for spontanious growth. You can do this quite easily when you sit down with your favorite drink and read "Mind Games". Oh I like grape juice with a little filtered water in it...what about you?

The human mind is an amazing complex organisim in itself. It really doesn't need our assistance at all. Sometimes a small application is all thats needed. While most people are literally playing with it (and we can tell that they're playing with it by how little they really use it in a controlled way). I think there are many productive ways to use your mind and a great deal many more ways in which you can benefit from reading the simply written, easy to follow exercises in "Mind Games".

"Mind Games" shows you how the brain is laid out. Like an amazing map it has some mind jerking titles that make you want to read the book. It deals with concepts such as

How to win at chess
How to master remembering names or even the telephone directory
Increasing your listening skills
Thinking like a genius
How to feed your Brain
The importance of water toward improving increased thinking.
Developing Mental Toughness

and over 129 other topics that they expound on that reveal major benefits to the mind enthusiast. The subject of Brian Gym is just as interesting as How to be Assertive. One of my most favorite parts of the book was when I stumbled across the subject of how to develop your Listening Skills. Not even you can afford to over look learning new ways that you could improve your skill of listening towards. Well Mind games is a neat little book I'd like to recommend to you. Are you listening? I sure hope you are..because if you're not...think of all the relationships you could make huge improvements in if you were just listening. Thanks for doing that!

Did I tell you that MIND GAMES focuses on improving the mind? Can you afford not to make mental improvements? I think you should Mind...I think you should play with it! MIND GAMES?

Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite
by Paul Arden
Edition: Paperback
Availability: In Stock
 

 
ONLY the rare have VISION...all the rest have Tele-VISION...Paul Arden's a rare breed!

Dare to Think The Opposite is more than you Think...

This isn't the first Paul Arden book I've read through and examined for review. The good news hopefully is it won't be the last Paul writes.

This book cuts to the gut of considering doing things differently without being apprehensive. And in less time than you could read this whole review backwards you can get through his new book. I think that's also what makes the books written by Arden interesting. Their short on paper but long on ideas. Great for you if you're always complaining about not having enough time to get through a good book.

I think the only way to put mileage on an idle mind is to read books that make you say huh! "I never thought of it like that". This makes a book well worth the reading. Benjamin Franklin said in Poor Richard's Almanack..."Reading makes a full man--Meditation a profound man--Discourse a clear man."

So are you afraid of applying simple rules in the reverse? Do you often just go with the status quo or follow common patterns or guidelines for thinking? If you're not afraid to think in the opposite or if the following title with the words backwards doesn't bother you than you may be well on your way to something worth imagining differently. "WHATEVER YOU THINK Think the Opposite" is worth your time.

The book opens up on page 7 with a Flop...and are you willing to take one and try an idea that goes against reason?

In this day and age how willing are you to be unfashionable? Well get ready to put on your high heeled sneakers as you prepare to take another drastic right turn in a left turn lane which seems to spin out of control on pg 16 & 17 in order to jump-start your thinking about "The Height of Unfashion" and how taking risk to make a decision that's unfashionable often leads you to the next unpredictable road to greatness.

"The Age of Unreason", and "There is no right point of view" both make you think about perspective and how yours could be screwing you up from seeing the things you're missing. Now if you're not into progressive thinking don't try this book. Again I think Paul Ardens on to something and the cost of the book is worth taking a plunge to gain some great increase in your imagination. I got a lot out of the book. In this generation you need VISION not Tele-VISION to make it. As you can see I like the book and you will too!

Poor Richards Almanack
by Benjamin Franklin
Edition: Hardcover
Availability: In Stock
 

A Franklinian mindset develops clarity of thought and sound mind


Poor Richard Ain't Poor no More

Benjamin Franklin has put together a masterpiece of self developing ideas and proverbs for the intellectual and the simpleton. For the mentally constipated and the indecisive. You too may think what can I learn from a dead man whose been dead for over 216 years? I'll answer that one for you...You can learn a lot! "Though he be dead yet does he still speak". All I can say is you too might be surprised at how many errors you could have avoided if you only had these thoughts by one of America's pivatol forefathers of our great country.

How often have you wanted to develop clarity of thought? To be able to look through muddy waters filled with ideas and still see clearly. Have you ever put a dollar amount on sound mind and maybe just what it's probably cost you in worry? Well here's your chance to de-weed your ideas and make your mind-garden grow. Every page of this wonderful book is full of rich parallels, clear contrast and productive concepts.

I wouldn't tell you this book is valuable if it were not. It's one of the most highly read books since the Bible and after reading it one time you'll take a look at your calendar to mark-off when you'll read it again. I know I have. Here's a few great ideas from the book...

"Most People return small Favours, acknowledge middling ones, and repay great ones with Ingratitude."

"He that scatters thorns, let him not go barefoot"

"He that lieth down with dogs, shall rise up with fleas"

"Cheese and salt meat should be sparinigly eat"

"Pay what you owe and you'll know what is your own"


These are some of Benjamin Franklins compulations of great thoughts and wonderful ideas to meditate upon. I think I've found one of the few gems of Franklin and now know why he was such a great scientist, inventor, publisher, advertising man, marketer, diplomat, teacher, advocate against slavery and framer of the constitution. You'll enjoy the book and if you don't send me your copy and I'll buy it off of you.

Wisdom For A Young Ceo (Running Press Miniature Editions)
by Douglas Barry
Edition: Hardcover

Advice for a Young CEO


Young Douglas Barry, has compiled an interesting series of responses from Corporate CEO's, Presidents and top executives on the things that really should matter to a broad range of readers. One thing I liked about the book is how easily it read. This format comes in handy for young teenagers and corporate types too busy to spend a whole bunch of time getting the plot.

The diversity of ideas makes it another good read for people too easily put off by one persons philosophy. Because in this book you get several dozen different philosophies. But very few cross cultural executives which would have opened the door just a little more on the philosophical side from a broader global perspective.

This book also has *Skip Ability...*the ability to skip from the front to the back without having to feel like you're being forced to move in sequenced order.

I liked a lot of things about this book but I don't think the book gives enough detail for it to have adorned the title "Wisdom for a Young CEO". At least for me I'm looking for more detail on specific challenges a young CEO may have to face in their first years of running a major corporation. You know the kind of adjustments that could cause you to make a company succeed or fail. Inspite of that I still gave the book five stars because for the age range of the author this book is a good resource whether you're a teenager, young adult or late blooming business mind looking for direction and inspiration.

I think it is an invaluable resource for so many types of people on a few different levels. I also believe you'll enjoy it if this review opened your eyes on how the book may work for you. Always remember that you get out of life what you give to life on the front end. Have a great day!

How To Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day
by Michael J. Gelb
Edition: Paperback
Availability: Currently unavailable
 

If You're not Thinking Critically, you're Not THINKING!

So what is Gelb trying to tell us about thinking anyway? And does critically thinking creatively really matter when there are so many other alternative ways to get answers in todays non-critically thinking culture? When we've got the internet, books, consultants, and some of the worlds greatest thinkers that have ever lived ---all living at the same time--- how can we benefit from digging up a dead man by the name of Leonardo da Vinci anyway? Well there is an appropriate ancient proverb found in the Hebrew text that says "though he be dead yet he still speaketh". So is Gelb's book really necessary and does it add to the wealth of knowledge that you already know about Leonardo?

Truthfully why do we need to think like Leonardo anyway? Will it improve our understanding for the next great mind blowing adventure we take? You'll find all your answers and so much more in Michael J. Gelb's, National Bestseller. He writes a wonderful introspective book on how Leonardo da Vinci was able to master his amazing perspectives and at the same time summon up all of the Curosita' you could ever imagine. What a da Vincian approach to da Vinci's multi-sided perspectives. I've learned more about vision than I've ever been aware of. So if you want to explore why Leonardo thought the way he did you need to get Gelb's book. Well it's time to think and what better way to think clearly than to think critically. I've been sharing some amazing values with a class of very bright Glenwood school students and I'm expecting greater things to happen this new year just because it can!
