Summary: The "Inner Game" applied to the workplace
Comment: This is a descent book including a lot of good advice on how to improve your performance and success within a business and corporate environment. The advice flows naturally from the author's foundation established with his first book 'The Inner Game of Tennis.' However, the themes and methods are not too repetitive. The book reads very well and easily.

Summary: Observe your job and you will benefit!
Comment: Is your job boring or stressful? The author shows you how to overcome the obstacles and make it challenging and managable. By making your job into a game, you can let yourself enjoy your job more. Does that sound refreshing or what?
If you have had a bad manager... or if you want to be a good one... this book will encouage you toward motivating yourself and others in a way that will actually work.
The book's genius is in its observation about human beings, their work, and their motivational patterns. Through paying closer attention to the internal state of the worker and to the details of the job, the author brings the work into sharper focus. He advocates that workers also choose to notice details about their jobs; in this greater level of awareness, they can make better choices about the work... and can get past layers of defensiveness or fear in order to do better (more enjoyable!) work.
Not every chapter will speak to you, and not every concept will be just what you need. But I would bet money that somewhere in this book you will find a gem of insight into yourself or others you work with... and if you follow that insight, it will be worth the price of the book.
This book helped me sort out the logic behind my "good days" and "bad days" so I could make more of my days good. I sometimes struggle with being content with my job, and this book is giving me tools to use to enjoy my job more!
PS - I'm not the only one who thought this book was worthwhile. Go to the other edition of the book for more reviews.

Summary: Feet of Clay
Comment: Top tennis coach turns his attention to the world of business. Big mistake.
Even if life were one big playing field this book still wouldn't be worth the cover price.
