A Leader For Organization Change Offers Advice To Management.......2007-09-19
Author Richard A. Moran, Ph.D.,is the National Director of Organization Change for Price Waterhouse. His biography in this book says "He has worked in all types of organizations worldwide, from Apple Computer to Zurich Insurance. Moran helps organizations implement their strategies by keeping management focused and by getting lots of help from employees. He is the author of NEVER CONFUSE A MEMO WITH REALITY. In addition he is co-author of the 1993 landmark studey, POSTCARDS FROM EMPLOYEES, which captured the perceptions of over 50,000 employees regarding their organizations and management as well as customer service and other work-related areas."
The author says his "continuing source of material are those thousands of employees, at all levels of all organizations, who tell me the truth and make me aware of what a struggle it can be to thrive in today's complex organizations."
The author describes this second collection of business related aphorisms as "a book of business bread and butter." He says he has continued his attempt, begun in his first book NEVER CONFUSE A MEMO WITH REALITY "to capture the conventional wisdom that people in business should know--but either ignore or never learned in the first place." He sees several advantage to his writing style:
"First, it represents what many people know is the truth about life in today's organizations. Second, it is accessible: It features no complex models or theories that make anyone feel guilty or inadequate for not understanding. Third the lessons from the book apply. No matter what their level, industry, or position, people understand. Fourth, there is humor in the book that makes people chuckle about their own situations. And, lastly, the price is right."
As in his first book, the advice offered is simply expressed and sometimes overgeneralized. But inevitably, what is familiar for one person will be a new insight for another. Once again, the author presents a checklist. A reader may wish to reject any individual item on it as in appropriate for his or her particular situation, but it is a valuable guide to both self-appraisal and organizational appraisal.
There are 371 aphorisms or collections of aphorisms in this book. From my experience of more than 40 years in the workforce, the 40 most valueable are as follows:
#1. Always tell the truth to employees and your boss. It's easier to remember what you said.
#3. "Just because you're a supervisor doesn't mean you have a license to be a jerk."
#7. "Beware those who ask for feedback. They are really asking for validation.
#20. "Be more results-driven than methodology driven."
#23. "Trust your instincts. There is a reason why people value your experience. You should as well."
#29. "In your written work, say something meaningful in the first sentence."
#31. "Too much resistance to a new system or change probably means there's something wrong with it. Employees will usually act in the organization's best interest. Listen to them."
#43. "Doing a great job often means you'll get more work. Understand this and use it to your advantage."
#57. "Work gravitates to the most competent."
#71. "Never confuse making people happy with what needs to be done."
#86. "Hope is a required ingredient for success."
#95. "Progress is made when the choices that are presented are limited and clearly defined...."
#120. "When the outcome of a meeting is to have another meeting, it has been a lousy meeting."
#124. "Start with a rough draft as soon as possible and fill in the details as you go. You'll find the end product will be similar to the original intention."
#125. "To what end? is always a good question to asky at the beginning of a big project."
#130. "Never give up on projects until they are implemented."
#140. "The goal is not to be busy. The goal is to contribute something of worth that will make you glow."
#154. "Worry about the big things, and the little things will fall into place."
#181. "There are no such things as communicationns, turnover, or morale problems. They are symptoms of other problems--usually autocratic managemetn. Don't try to fix the symptoms. Fix the problems."
#183. "Never be embarrassed about where you grew up, where you went to school, how you look, your name, or anything else that it's too late to fix. Be proud of who you are."
#192. "Next steps from meetings must always be clear."
#201. "Casey Stengel said some people make things happen, some people watch things happen, and some people say what happened. Be in the first category."
#213. "Learn what the labor movement is all about, how it's changing, and what it means to your industry. Be unbiased as you learn."
#214. "Spend time understanding what "real work" is. like working on an assembly line or driving trucks. It will ground you in reality."
#233. The most effective suggestion system is the one where the CEO puts a sign over his or her door that says "Suggestion Box."
#243. "Organization change will not occur unless employees believe it is in their best interest."
#250. "When giving a talk, think of what people will remember. And that's only one or two things."
#261. "Pessimistic futurists are to be ignored."
#277. "Understand the concept before spending lots of time on the mechanics and the details."
#281. An abundance of worker's compensation issues either means people are getting hurt or people don';t want to go back--or both.
#283. "'Career path' implies a well-worn route. The truth is that you make your own way running around the organizational bushes and brambles."
#296. "Listen to field people."
#297. "Technology eventually evens out. Compete on service and talented people."
#318. "'Find a passion and follow it' is all the career advice you'll ever need."
#322. "Ask yourself, 'What can I be an expert in?' and become one."
#327. "Bite off more than you can chew and chew it well."
#331. "Facilitate or lead meetings with a point of veiw about what needs to be done and how we get there. Be open to changing your mind."
#367. "Convert training into experience as soon as possible."
This is an excellent book for someone new to working in or with a business organization of any size. It is also an excellent book for mid-career people looking for a checklist on how they are doing, and a general guide both to doing things better and doing better things. Finally, it is an excellent books for those suffering from burnout, lack of focus, or overwork.
A Good Reference / Reminder Catalogue.......2005-01-19
The common-sense advice in this Life's-Little-Instruction-Book spinoff is useful; it doesn't hurt to keep a copy at your office and thumb through it for a few seconds every morning, just to help you focus. The showcase saying, "Beware those who ask for feedback. They are really asking for validation." is eminently correct. You NEVER tell a corporate boss the truth, if the truth reflects poorly upon that boss. To do so is to paint a bull's eye on your forehead, and ensure you will be targeted with some unpleasant consequence in the future. This is the voice of experience. I am now a sycophantic fawning toady lickspittle apple-polishing lapdog yes-man at the office, and I have not gotten into trouble for several years. Being wary of those who ask for feedback has served me well indeed.

Excellent tool for nearing retirement........2006-04-26
I enjoyed reading Retire Sooner, Retire Richer. The book inspired me to create a successful strategy for nearing retirement. The book especially addresses the needs for Baby Boomers to plan at least five years ahead of retirement. For those who have retired, the book helps them to better plan thier retirement income so that it may last a lifetime! Highly recommend this book to all!!
Retirement--It's more complicated than you think! .......2004-10-12
Being a student of the market and saving like a mad man for the past 14 years, I thought I was on top of my game in planning for retirement. Boy, after reading "Retire Sooner, Retire Richer: How to Build and Manage Wealth to Last a Lifetime", I quickly discovered that it is much more involved in planning for a successful retirement than I had ever imagined. The first thing that came to light in reading this book is how to go about determining "how much is enough?" Once I jumped this hurdle, it hit me like a ton of bricks that I was taking on far too much risk with my current investment portfolio, especially with less than five years until my target age for retirement. After reading about the importance of establishing a personal Investment Policy Statement, I created one, and it's now a part of my estate plan. The book even outlines how to go about tapping various sources of retirement funds and explains the importance of using tax intelligent payout strategies. The worksheets and other helpful planning tips became my personal "to do list" before preparing my formal retirement plan. I even ordered some of the suggested supplemental reading materials. I encourage anyone over 50 to read this book. You'll be glad you did!
Essential Advice for a Person Who Wants to Retire Early.......2004-01-17
If you make a mistake with your retirement planning, chances are you will have to live with that mistake for the remainder of your life . . . and wish you had been more careful. Retire Sooner, Retire Richer will help you avoid the bulk of the mistakes that trip up the majority of people. The book is written in a common sense way that can be understood by almost anyone.
A portion of the author's income from the book will go towards low-income workers and their families affected by September 11, 2001, and to charities serving the hungry and homeless, such as Greater New York Labor-Religion Coalition, Second Harvest (USA), Catholic Relief Services (outside the U.S.), and Habitat for Humanity International.
When I first learned about Retire Sooner, Retire Richer, I was skeptical that it could add anything to my knowledge of investments, tax law, estate planning and how to get practical advice. As a result of reading the book, I was pleasantly surprised to learn a great deal of valuable information that I did not know before. After having assessed that information, it made me realize that anyone who works for a company, wants to retire early and desires to leave an estate behind needs a great deal of help. I strongly encourage anyone who is within 10 years of retirement to read this book!
The book opens with one of the best explanations I have ever seen about why volatility in financial instruments means that you have to be very conservative in planning your retirement investments and even more conservative in withdrawing from your retirement savings. Otherwise, you don't save enough and a down market can cause you to wipe out your savings at a time when stock prices are low. This really hit home after seeing the stock market drop for three straight years until 2003. The suggested guidelines in both areas made a lot of sense to me.
Next, Mr. Netti described many ways that you can choose to reduce the current and future taxes to be paid on your income and savings. Most of these choices are only available to you well before you retire. So if you wait until the day before retirement, you will lose many valuable tax reductions. In addition, if you die before your planned retirement date, failure to use these choices will cost your heirs quite a lot!
From reading the text, I began to appreciate that the tax laws governing pension payouts and IRAs have gotten to be very complex. Only someone who follows these details on a daily basis and works with them all of the time can hope to appreciate and take advantage of all the nuances if you want to retire early. From this, I began to see (for the first time) why the advice from a well-schooled financial advisor can pay a vast multiple of the cost of such an advisor. Mr. Netti certainly seems to be such an advisor.
He goes on to give you a process to locate the right financial advisor for you. The process seems like a good one, although I have never personally looked for a financial advisor. Reading Retire Sooner, Retire Richer will also prepare you to get more benefit from working with an advisor.
If you are totally averse to ever working with a financial advisor, this book may change your mind. Reading the book struck me as being a lot like what you might discuss with a financial advisor. I was grateful for the chance to have this dry run on the experience.
Here's the outline of the book:
Part One: Understanding Your Retirement Investments
Chapter 1: The Numbers Game and Retirement Timing
Chapter 2: Factors to Consider When Transitioning to Retirement
Chapter 3: Why Some Retirement Plans Fail and Others Succeed
Chapter 4: How to Improve Your Money-Management Decisions
Part Two: Building the Wealth You Need
Chapter 5: Portfolio Lessons for a Lifetime
Chapter 6: Why You Need to Act Now to Live Happily in Retirement
Chapter 7: How to Make the Best Use of Your Retirement Distribution Options
Chapter 8: How You Can Provide Added Income for You and Your Heirs
Chapter 9: How to Use a Rollover IRA to Leave More to Your Heirs
Part Three: Managing Your Nest Egg
Chapter 10: The Advisor Advantage
Chapter 11: Creating a Financial Planning Review
Chapter 12: The Importance of a Personal Investment Policy
Chapter 13: How to Pay for Financial Management Advice
As I finished the book, I found myself thinking about where else in my life I might benefit from skilled advice . . . and have not been seeking it.
Don't let the title fool you.......2003-09-11
While I found this book useful, I thought the title was kind of misleading. There is really nothing specifically addressing retiring young. In fact, the book will more likely scare you into working to 65+. Also, I sometimes felt like I was reading propoganda material for the financial analyst/management industry. What I walked away with was - work as long as you can stand it then hire as many people as you can afford to help you manage your retirement pot. Granted, not bad advice.
Lastly, just FYI, the book is geared solely to traditional families. Unmarried partners wanting specific advice should look elsewhere. I found this to be kind of surprising for a book published in 2003.
Great book for those planning to retire!!.......2003-06-05
I have worked in the investment business for over 7 years and I have been involved in retirement planning. Too many people have found that investing for retirement has become complex. Mr Netti's book helped me to understand (in easy to understand language) how my plans can be affected by many variables, ie., investment returns, withdrawal rates, longevity, etc. Also, it is important to me to find the right advisors to help me choose and monitor those investments. There are many advisors out there and this book enabled me to determine what type of advisor I need, where to look, how to hire and pay for advice. It will save much time and money as I plan to retire. Since there are no competency or ethical standards regulated under the banking, insurance or securites laws, a book like "Retire Sooner, Retire Richer" helped me to find the right person for me.

Book Description
In sharp contrast to the United States, Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world and practically no police brutality or corruption. Urban congestion is often blamed for the soaring crime rate in the United States and the waning public confidence in the American police force, yet Japan's population per square mile is almost thirty times that of ours. In Forces of Order, originally published in 1976 and now thoroughly revised and expanded, David Bayley examines the reasons behind Japan's phenomenal success when it comes to public order.
The Japanese police force is the world's most developed model of "community policing." To study it, Bayley conducted hundreds of interviews with police officers in Japan and spent many hours observing them on patrol, mostly at night. Making explicit comparisons between Japan and the United States, he analyzes Japan's record in policing and crime, the life of patrol officers, police relations with the community, police discipline and responsibility, the police as an institution, victimless crime, and deviance and authority in Japanese culture.
The essential lesson of the book is that the incidence of crime as well as the nature of police practices is rooted in long-standing traditions that are profoundly related to fundamental matters of morality, culture, and historical experience. Bayley shows that the key differences between Japan and the United States do not stem from the economic or political structures of the two countries, but from the characteristic way in which people are expected to relate to one another and the sorts of social institutions that shape and reinforce those expectations.

Book Description
Life on earth is now known to be an astonishing four billion years old. Yet as recently as two hundred years or so ago, much of world believed that all life was created in just six days. Over the past two centuries, the testimony of rocks has slowly revealed the Earth's deep prehistory and now scarcely a week passes without an important new discovery adding to our understanding of life's beginning and evolution. Written for a very wide audience, with an approachable text and many photographs and illustrations, Prehistoric Past Revealed tells the story of these discoveries. The book gives an overview history of life on Earth, including the most up-to-date research and discoveries from around the world, as it covers a wide range of fascinating topics--the fossil record, dinosaurs, extinction events, our earliest human ancestors, global environments, climate change--in a highly accessible format.
Using timelines, diagrams, sidebar discussions, and breaking down complex ideas into digestible topics, Palmer shows how it has been possible to recover the story of life from the petrified remains of shells and bones scattered through rock strata. He takes us from the present day gradually back into the "terra incognita" of the deep past with its extinct life forms, tracing human ancestry back by centering his discussion around internationally famous fossil sites. Each site reveals another episode in the history of life, as Palmer tells how the environment and life of the time have been reconstructed from its rocks and fossil remains. As it reveals the inner secrets of the Earth, Prehistoric Past Revealed also shows how these discoveries have irrevocably changed our worldview.

Prehistoric Past Revealed: The Four Billion Year History of Life on Earth.......2007-05-26
For content and quality of printing, I'd give this book 4 stars, however, it is extremely poorly bound. The pages began falling out as I turned them very early in the book and continued to do so. I now have a loose collection of them. The 'book' will go in the trash as soon as I finish it, just because I can't stand the mess it has become. Definitely NOT worth the money paid, even though it was only about $14.
Book Description
Consciousness is one of the major unsolved problems in science. How do the feelings and sensations making up conscious experience arise from the concerted actions of nerve cells and their associated synaptic and molecular processes? Can such feelings be explained by modern science, or is there an entirely different kind of explanation needed? And how can this seemingly intractable problem be approached experimentally? How do the operations of the conscious mind emerge out of the specific interactions involving billions of neurons? This multi-authored book seeks answers to these questions within a range of physically based frameworks, i.e, the underlying assumption is that consciousness can be understood using the intellectual potential of modern physics and other sciences. There are a number of theories of consciousness in existence, some of which are based on classical physics while some others require the use of quantum concepts. The latter ones have drawn a lot of criticism from the present-day scientific establishment while simultaneously claiming that classical approaches are doomed to failure. This book presents the reader with a spectrum of opinions from both sides of this on-going scientific debate, letting him/her decide which of these approaches are most likely to succeed.

The uneven quality of emerging physics.......2007-02-06
The articles involving exposition of scientific progress are pretty good. The articles attempting philosophy are not so good. Some of the authors attempt to impress the reader instead of enlightening the reader.
Mind, Brain and the Quantum: The Cutting Edge of the Science of Consciousness.......2007-01-23
I think that most of us would agree that consciousness remains one of the major unsolved problems in science. Though there are still some scientists and philosophers who think that it is no more than a grand illusion created by a series of neural reflexes, common sense, personal insight and observation really tell us otherwise.
So how do the feelings and sensations that make up conscious experience arise from the actions of neurons and their associated synaptic and molecular processes? Or is there enough evidence to indicate that the mind is not a product of neural activity, but is instead a universal field that is constrained by the brain?
This fine book proposes that consciousness can be understood using the insights of modern physics and other sciences.
The book is divided into 14 chapters:
1. The path ahead by Jack A. Tuszynski and Nancy Woolf
2. Consciousness and quantum physics: empirical research on the subjective reduction of the state vector by Dick J. Bierman and Stephen Whitmarsh
3. Microtubules in the cerebral cortex: role in memory and consciousness by Nancy J. Woolf
4. Towards experimental tests of quantum effects in cytoskeletal proteins by Andreas Mershin and Hugo Sanabria and John H. Miller and Dharmakeerthna Nawarathna and Efthimios M. C. Skoulakis and Nikolaos E. Mavromatos and Alexadre A. Kolomenskii and Hans A. Schuessler and Richard F. Luduena and Dimitri V. Nanopoulos
5. Physicalism, chaos and reductionism by Alwyn Scott
6. Consciousness, neurobiology and quantum mechanics: the case for a connection by Stuart Hameroff
7. Life, catalysis and excitable media: a dynamic systems approach to metabolism and cognition by Christopher James Davia
8. The dendritic cytoskeleton as a computational device: a hypothesis by Avner Priel and Jack A. Tuszynski and Horacion F. Cantiello
9. Recurrent quantum neural network and its applications by Laxmidhar Behera and Indrani Kar and Avshalom C. Elitzur
10. Microtubules as a quantum Hopfield network by Elizabeth C. Behrman and K. Gaddam and J. E. Steck and S.R. Skinner
11. Consciousness and quantum brain dynamics by Gordon Globus
12. The CEMI field theory: seven clues to the nature of consciousness by Johnjoe McFadden
13. Quantum cosmology and the hard problem of the conscious brain by Chris King
14. Consciousness and logic in a quantum computing universe by Paola Zizzi
Each chapter begins with a brief summary that is most valuable if any of the topics is unfamiliar. Most of the chapters contain some original research data as well as a comprehensive discussion, summary and references.
Virtually all the authors have been widely published elsewhere and this book represents their current views about consciousness. Considering the number of eminent experts in the book, there is a remarkable uniformity of style.
There is some mathematics in a few of the chapters, but nothing too complex.
The intention of the book was clearly to present many different views of the consciousness problem, and as such it succeeds extremely well. It does not come to a final answer, but is instead a summary of where we are in understanding the physics of consciousness.
The book highlights the important fact that consciousness is a highly interdisciplinary issue. We do not have all the answers, but we are asking better questions. And some world-class scientists are finding a way out of the empty impasse of trying to reduce consciousness to an epiphenomenon of neural activity.
The book needs a little understanding of mathematics and the basics of quantum mechanics. But it is otherwise not a difficult read.
If you are interested in consciousness and its interaction with the physical and biological worlds, this is an excellent book that I recommend highly.

Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmare vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life--the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language--and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.
Customer Reviews:
A historical masterpiece.......2003-06-18
One caveat if you are thinking of buying this edition: this is not the way you should read the story for the first time. However, if you've read it and would like a piece of history to call your own, this is a worthy addition to your library.
I first read 1984 when I was in the seventh grade. It earned me sneers and odd looks from my classmates, but I recognized it for what it is - a warning. This book helped shape my outlook on the world, and particularly on politics. It made me wary of false promises and doubletalk - "newspeak" - something that has unfortunately come true within my lifetime. War is peace, black is white, down is up.
Last year I finally bought a hardcover edition of the standard edition to add to my library. This manuscript is no substitute for a standard edition, in terms of reading at leisure. It has all of the corrections, crossed-out paragraphs (and pages), and the majority of it is in Orwell's own hand (i.e. not typed). To read the story in this form for the first time would be daunting.
Nevertheless I cherish it. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to devotees of Orwell. It occupies a treasured space in my bookcase.
