Overrated, missing new ideas and - sometimes a little boring., 2. Januar 2007

3 stars alone for the idea to refrain from e-mail reading in the morning - thanx! I applied it, and it really helped. Full stop. That idea alone is worth getting the book!But: I.m.h.o. the only really *new* idea - the subtitle promised other "unexpected" things... Compared to other "self-organization" books (e.g. by LeBoeuf, McCormack, McKenzie or L.Seiwert) it is a boring read.I was brougth to the book by Merlin Manns' 43-folders website -this guy often comes up with "unexpected" ideas :-)

       Mentoring by remote, 28. Dezember 2005

Typically, the mentoring process is a two-way dialogue that takes place over lunch, in the gym or on the phone. But author Julie Morgenstern changes the traditional mentoring model. Speaking out from the printed page, she mentors by remote. Morgenstern offers useful career guidance and concise tips, organized as concrete "Grab and Go Strategies." Her colorful examples, logical chapter summaries and chatty case histories make her book outstanding. Occasionally, her advice is repetitive, but overall it's hard to find fault, because she is so clearly smart, thoughtful and on your side. We recommend this mentor's manual to every professional, including the overworked, self-employed and underemployed.
