After all, it is only 118 pages. Irecall thinking to myself that it should not even take me that long toread it. WRONG! I found myself going back and rereading sections. I highlighted parts, took notes, and carried the book with me to work for a fewdays. Personally, I have been climbing the corporate latter for severalyears now and found lots of advice that I could immediately put to use. Whether you are in high school, college, or been part of the work forcefor a few decades, this book is worth every cent you pay for it. (Andcosts much less than going to even one business seminar.) This little bookis rock solid and highly recommended. ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
