Critic Reviews:

Brendan Foley narrates his own work in this audiobook edition.This book is about success. More specifically, it is about the elements of success. Foley argues that through his years of study and experience, he believes he has narrowed the object of success down to five measurable states of being. For the purposes of this review, here is a brief snapshot of what Foley posits:1. Insight. Insight is clarity, which is in turn creativity. Insight is represented by the head of the body, or the elemental air. 2. Connection. Connection is empathy, which is in turn building with others. Connection is represented by the heart of the body, or the elemental water. 3. Certainty. Certainty is conviction, which is in turn proceeding. Certainty is represented by the gut of the body, or the elemental earth. 4. Vitality. Vitality is action, which is in turn creation. Vitality is represented by the health of the body, or the elemental fire. 5. Spirit. Spirit is purpose, which is in turn leadership. Spirit is represented by the life or soul of the body, or the elemental ether.Foley explains these five states of being in detail, and teaches readers how to effectively use these states in everyday life. Foley is so confident of his studies that he gives a guarantee of success.Being the narrator as well, Foley obviously narrates the way the author intended. He carries a medium rate of pace, and has a definite British accent. His clear dictation and defined speech, however, combat that difficulties of understanding a foreign accent, and thus make it easy to understand his voice and narration. Not presented in a monotone fashion, Foleys narration is reminiscent of a lecture from recent filming, on a how to instructional era. His presentation is superb and delivers what the text deserves and inspires. (Brendan Foley)

Length: 46 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-07-10

Publisher: Simply Media

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

This Harvard Business Review (HBR) article focuses on Ted Levitts classic question, "What Business Are You In?" and what are you doing about it? He provides the classic example of why the Canadian railroads succeeded in the mid-20th century while the American ones faltered. The Canadians identified their business as transportation unlike the Americans who narrowly focused on being railroads. Therefore, the Canadians expanded into air and bus travel, as well as hotels and resorts for people to stay at on their trips. The Americans stayed focused on their railroads, missed these other opportunities, and saw much of their base business wither away.

This audiobook includes six best-selling articles by HBS professor Ted Levitt: "Marketing Myopia", "After the Sale is Over", "Marketing Success through Differentiation of Anything", "Production Line Approach to Service", "The Globalization Approach to Markets", and "Creativity Is Not Enough".

Great Tips for Effective Delivery of Presentation Content

The tips offered in this audio book were simple to understand because an explanation of why the suggested tip would be effective to incorporate was given. We have to remember that everyone in the audience will grab the presented material in different manners in order to digest it and act on it. Helping them do so by employing different presentation delivery methods is a great tip.

The only slightly annoying thing about this audio book is the pause music.

Title: Some Assembly Required

Members Reviews:

A great reminder

Most of the information was stuff that all of us in the business world know (or should know), but it was a great reminder to do the little things. As a plus, this book was entertaining and fun to read.

The Ultimate Strategy Guide To Networking

Some Assembly Required is an outstanding book on how to make and build the right kinds of connections. Mr. Singer has done an excellent job building a case for why networking is essential to us all. So many times people think networking is something only salespeople do but in reality, networking is something everyone needs to do. Building one's network is critical when it comes time to build a business, launching a new product or service or uncover one's next career opportunity. Some Assembly Required gives its reader practical strategies for eliminating fear and embracing the opportunities networking can open up for the reader.

I highly recommend Some Assembly Required because to build one's network correctly some assembly IS required, and this book is the step by step instruction manual how to build it right.

Second edition definitely comes first. Well done!

Excellent read. If you have your own business then you know how tricky building a viable network of business contacts can be. In Some Assembly Required, Thom takes away all the guess work and provides you with the knowledge needed to gain the most from your efforts.

Thom Singer Does It Again

Thom Singer is one of my favorite networking authors. Why?

He practices what he preaches. He not only tells me how to network, and how to get more out of business and professional relationships, he does it himself. Other network authors are too busy networking with "important people" to network in my space (with the average, hard-working professional that we all work with) to really be able to connect with me.

Thom is all about building relationships, and giving value to relationships. This all comes out in his books.

When I speak I always recommend his book as a guide that is full of tactical ideas and examples that we, as professionals can use right now, today.

You can't build your network without this book!

Thom takes you on a succinct approach to building, growing and maintaining your personal and professional network. His strong belief in doing first and then asking in return works to help you grow a bond and develop a trusting relationship. By applying the approach outlined in this book I have begun building a far more secure network of people that I truly want to spend time with and collectively we work to add value to one another. His ideas have helped me find wedding dresses for people who in turn became my clients. It takes the term mutually beneficial to a whole new level and will add value to your bottom line in every way. BUY THIS BOOK and you will see.

Title: Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-17-10

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Why are some people easily outsourced, downsized, or freelanced into obscurity, while others have their pick of opportunities? In his most powerful book yet, Seth Godin argues that it's more essential than ever to become indispensable and the key to being indispensable is overcoming the fears that hold most of us back.

Fear of change, fear of authority, fear of embarrassment all come from the most primitive and powerful part of our brain. Godin shows how to overcome that internal resistance, so you can unleash your greatest art, passion, insight, and generosity at work.

Members Reviews:

A most inspiring read

Would you consider the audio edition of Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? to be better than the print version?

I found the audio edition very easy listening

What other book might you compare Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? to and why?

I think this is one of the best motivational stories that I have heard in a long time

Which character as performed by Seth Godin was your favorite?

I enjoyed all characters who gave a "gift"

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I couldn't wait to hear the next chapter

Any additional comments?

My biggest disappointment was that the book came to an end

Full of Wise Words

I've listened to many personal development books and Linchpin would probably at or near the top of them. It is full of wise words describing those key persons in an organisation and the qualities they embody, if there is any book I'd likely listen a second time this is it.

Just listen.

great book that makes you think about your approach to life and business. Will listen again and again.

Top 5 books of my life.

A true revolutionary mind-realigner, and a absolute must read for all artists, creators, entrepreneurs, and forward thinking people. Just finished it, and about to put it on play again. There is that much gold in here.

Profound !

This book has woken me up from my slumber ! Thank you Seth Godin for teaching me and reminding me what I'm capable of!

Good introduction to the LSAT

This audio book goes over the different sections you will be faced with on the LSAT. It also goes over different problems. Although you are unable to see it on paper (since you are listening to it) it does help provide a mental picture and assists in getting you prepped. I would still recommend using other books to study with but I've listened to this audio book 2 times and I don't feel so intimidated. I would recommend it for the convenience and the price.
