Summary: Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box
Comment: This is one of those rare, life-changing books. I could not put it down. Initially thinking it was a book on leadership skills, I soon found it applied in all areas of my life. It is a quick read--written in novel form--but is very thought provoking and insightful. The title is somewhat misleading. I think this is a must-read for everyone: boss, employee, teacher, spouse, parent. I especially think it should be read by anyone who does any counseling. It will forever change the way I look at people and the way I interact with them.

Summary: Not your ordinary business improvement book!
Comment: I must say - I hate to read books that are supposed to improve your business performance. Simply hate them! I was introduced to Leadership and Self-Deception at an unusual place - a church men's breakfast. The fellow giving the devotional talked about this book and was so enthusiastic I picked it up.
To say that I am glad that I did is an understatement. A practical guide to changing one's outlook on life, not just the way one conducts business. This book provides a realistic plan to look at one's self honestly and to begin to see reality as it truly is. So often I look at the world through glasses that are put on to justify my own view. Applying these principles I am beginning to see things as they are.
The principles have improved ALL of my relationships, not just at work, but in every aspect of my life. I treat people better, because I am putting away my views of them that are not honest, but rather would allow me to continue my own world view. I see people as they are and am free to treat them as people, not objects.
Taking to heart the advice of this book will transform readers. This sounds like an unbelievable statement, but it really does do just that!

Summary: Remarkable
Comment: So much of this kind of writing is common sense once you're done the book... but this kind of common sense needs to be reinforced over and over again.
Written in an easy to follow narrative you find yourself relating to the main character, coming up with the same questions he has, and feeling the same feelings as he finds the truth about what he is living, feeling & learning.
A quick read and a remarkable look into how you can live & work everday.
