Wow, I always knew I was surrounded by assholes, but this book proves how deep the asshole well really is! Anyone in a management position or considering a management position should read this book.

I really liked this fun memoir from the beauty editor of Lucky magazine. It's great to know that bad hair days transcend any beauty secret and that we all have them! :)

I got this book at a library book sale because I really enjoyed the cover. This is the first book I've read by Shreve, but not her first -- I'm surprised I haven't heard of her sooner, but I plan on reading more of her books.

Well, where the heck is customer services these days?! This book proves that kindness revolutions should be in place EVERYWHERE. I especially enjoyed Horrell's sections on "what can we learn" and "applying these lessons to business." These real-life examples from major companies prove that sometimes a little kindness goes a long way.
I often tell people that I can train anyone to write a good story and ask the right questions but I can't teach them how to be flexible, hard-working and cooperative. Luckily, I'm on the right track, hiring for personality over skills -- and I think it's served my department, and company, well.
The best quote, by far, was from Bruce Nordstrom when he was asked who really trains the salespeople. His answer: "Their parents." So true, so true ...

I LOVE J.K. Rowling. I have no idea where she comes up with her creative ideas, but I'm glad she does!

This book is several Mother Goose-like tales for the wizarding world. The best part: Dumbledore's back! At least in the commentary he provides after each tale. The second best part: ALL proceeds go to the Children's High Level Group, a charity co-founded in 2005 by Rowling that helps protect and promote children's rights.

This book is a very quick read and I recommend it to any fan of the Harry Potter series. Oh, and the Malfoy family has always been a bunch of buttheads ...

As a lefty, I was intrigued by this book (anyone remember "The Simpsons" episode where Flanders opens his southpaw store "The Leftorium"?) and all things southpaw. This was an interesting read, but it did get cumbersome at times in the middle, when Wolman dove right into the inner workings of the brain and got a little too scientific.

There are a lot of misconceptions about handedness. One is that those who use both hands are ambidextrous. That isn't entirely true. A more accurate way to describe those people would be "mixed-handedness." A true ambidextrous person uses both hands with EQUAL ability. Then there's the whole part about being a strong left. It can get a bit confusing.

"Whereas early humans who smelled like saber-tooth tiger bait would have been selected out of the population, lefties, as far as anyone can tell, have been stubbornly present in human history, suggesting Southpaws are here for a reason," Wolman writes.

Do not read this book if you are younger than 45 and paranoid. I freaked out completely after reading this book ... I totally need to save more for my retirement.

My sister always finds the best books for me for my birthday or Christmas. I always enjoy reading them and think that she buys them for me because the authors express what she has trouble saying. We are the best and worst of friends and I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything!
