Fading Towards Enlightenment - Book Review
Fading Toward Enlightenment by Wayne Wirs is definitely a
well made book of excellent quality ? it will certainly endure
multiple readings. I loved the feel of the pages as I turned
them. I would classify this book as a useful, inspirational,
self-help tool for those searching for inner peace. Wayne
shares his personal experiences while he searches to
come to turns with himself and life in general through this
beautiful work of art. Wayne is truly a seeker of understanding. I was reminded
occasionally of Joseph Campbell throughout the book, as
the two focus on similar themes. Wayne shares his journey
towards understanding that takes him through vigorous
studies of mystic and myths, traveling into himself and then
out again. He dreams of being able to reach beyond the
ego. Attractive, attention-demanding black and white
photographs are enhanced by the deep-thinking quotations
and the author's excellent discussions. Each stage in his
journey is accompanied by the exquisite photos, and the
photos add depth to the text ? feeding each other. I found
that I would read a sentence and then look at the photo;
back and forth - each page a slow and rewarding process to
savor. Written to inspire others to delve deep into
discovering who they are, Wayne asks us (as he asks
himself) "Who are you behind those busy thoughts?" The question and answer interview at the end of the book
was quite helpful in finding out more about the author's
personal side and his particular views. He also includes a
list of resources to aid the reader interested in furthering
their journey." ISBN#: 0976358107

The Southwest Airlines Way - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Over the years, several books and countless magazine and newspaper articles have been written about Southwest Airlines. Numerous MBA programs highlight the Southwest structure, its culture, its CEO, its low fares and other reasons as to why it is the bright spot in an otherwise dismally performing industry. Fortune magazine calls Southwest Airlines "the most successful airline in history." With a market value greater than the rest of the U.S. airline industry combined, Southwest Airlines is an amazing company with amazing management practices. No one, however, has completely captured the real explanation of why Southwest succeeds.

Book Review: Seth Godin - All Marketers Are Liars

Just think. If the Vikings had made just that little extra effort to stay on in America when they first arrived just over 1000 years ago then the modern history of not only North America but the whole continent might have started 500 years earlier in 992AD rather than 1492AD.
Why Malta? A Mystery-Thriller Author Tells Why
"Why Malta?" my new Maltese friends kept asking me when they find out that my mystery-thriller The Cellini Masterpiece is set on Malta. Mind you, only the Maltese ask that question. (Some kind of national inferiority complex?) Americans ask "Malta Who?" or "Where the heck is Malta?" or "Is it about the Maltese Falcon?" (They must always think that they're the first ones to think that up.)

Hug Your Customers - AchieveMax® Top Ten Book Review
Don't panic. Jack Mitchell, the author of Hug Your Customers: The Proven Way to Personalize Sales and Achieve Astounding Results, isn't suggesting that you take his title literally. Hugging your customers, he says, has nothing to do with being touchy-feely around them and everything to do with offering them over-the-top service. His advice is hardly groundbreaking. For instance, what rookie employee has not heard the old adages such as "know your customer, think outside the box, have a 'no problem' attitude"? While we've all heard this obvious, age-old advice repeatedly, how many of us can honestly say we've seen it practiced with any level of success where we shop, eat, travel, etc.? That's the point of this book. Everyone knows what should be done to create repeat customers ... very few people do it!
