This book is a very good survival story. As I read through the book I got the idea that Aron wasn't exactly reckless but he did barge ahead into situations without thinking sometimes. His sheer determination is what got him out of trouble more than a few times. Maybe it was this reckless determination that got him into the situation he found himself but it was probably also what got him out of it. The book was written by him and is written very well. It doesn't read like the typical autobiography of an untrained writer. Personally, I'd like to know when the guy slept.

Positively pornographic. I couldn't read it. Funny concept, bad execution. I gave it to my baby to destroy.

This book is great for figuring out where people are 'coming from.' It helps to understand the 'why' of how people act and how to mitigate bad behavior. You can't fix everyone but you can help some people improve themselves. I don't have employees so I can't comment on how well the suggestions work in the workplace but I do interact with people (who doesn't) and this book helps me understand them better.
