Praise
|
"Butler-Bowdon is so good at distilling the essence of these books that you may feel you don't have to read them. He is a true scholar of this type of literature."
USA Today |
"A tremendous resource ... Because the range and depth of sources are so huge, the cumulative reading effect is amazing. Alternatively, it educates and edifies, affirms and inspires. Often both."
Stephen R Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People |
|
"A brilliant synthesis. The author makes complex ideas accessible and practical, without dumbing down the material. I found myself over and over thinking, 'Oh, that's what that guy meant'.
Douglas Stone, Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School |
"A kaleidoscope of inspiration ... insightful commentaries on each classic and biographical information on the authors. A unique overview." Watkins Review |
