Love the review! Keep them coming! :)
Indeed, his career is impressive, and his advice very sound. Hope you will afford him. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

Excellent review Cotwani! I'm not sure what you mean by 'ostrich with its head in the sand' but I'm sure it has something to do with the book. :D

Indeed the book is an invaluable resource. It's the kind you'd keep referring to over and over.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I was referring to the proverb/metaphor/myth that an ostrich buries it's head in the sand if it sees a predator approaching, believing that if it doesn't see the trouble, then the trouble is not there!

Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

Post by Espie »

Thank you for another great review, Cotwani. The convincing descriptions and supporting arguments you've used were too well-founded, logical, sensible, and compelling to ignore or disagree with. I really don't mind initial technical writing or publishing errors such as those you've identified. Yet, the mere fact that you've identified them and still found the piece read-worthy already says a lot about the significance and value of the work and the better results derivable from a possible revised version. I've already been equipped with an MBA since several decades ago but I still have definite or decisive intentions to become an entrepreneur yet, I've still placed this in my "Want to Read" list out of sheer interest and curiosity resulting from your write-up.

Yes this book seems to be much informative on importance of branding for the growth of a company. I liked your eyeopening review on this book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

I'm not sure I could deal with this book. I get antsy sitting through a 1-hour powerpoint presentation so not sure I could read an entire book of these "cool" ideas. Maybe if he could cut it down to some main bullet points that would work for me but this seems to be taking ideas to the extremes. I appreciate your very thorough review!

Thanks for your feedback Espie! The book is loaded with information and insight. Apart from wishing I had come across it when I was doing my Msc project management course a couple of years back, I found good material in it that I will refer to again and again as I try to become an entrepreneur! I hope you get to read it.
