- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Oké. But not exceptional. Some new insights. Fair enough.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a collection of brief, yet profound thought starters about business, marketing, and success in the post-industrial economy. Through his constant perceptiveness, he's assembled a wealth of examples that he uses to prod his audience to think differently than they've been trained. The format encourages the reader to pause and consider each "riff" rather than plowing through them in sequence. For me, the overall theme is that, despite the way old corporations and new "channels" dominate our attention, business has changed to a more natural set of dynamics. Care for customers and their needs matters more than ever. Technology merely serves as an accelerator and an equalizer. Phoniness is quickly detected, and positive relationships can be formed with anyone, anywhere.
