Agree with Simon. Most of the advice in the book is good, but there’s too much of it. Whenever I see an acronym as a way to remember a system or a series of steps, I think it lacks internal logic or it’s too complicated. Acronyms are the lazy thinker’s way out, rather than really developing a thoroughly thought-through system.

Thanks for the review. I’ve not read the book yet as when I scanned it in the bookshop (does anyone else do that? ) it looked like it was going to be too “macho” for the kind of clients I train – that is, people would get put off by a ten-step process… it wasn’t that I wasn’t going to read it, just not straight away.

From what you say, I should move it up my reading list!

Very interesting and balanced review. To my opinion the author doesn’t go into conference room presentation enough. Those are the most frequent and most important ones and powerpoint is overvalued in these kind of meetings. He has a strong point there. Kind regards Dr shock
