 Fluid and thought provoking read April 7, 2008
I think this should be standard issue for (a) newlyweds (b) new business leaders -- well, any business leader really (c) Coaches, captains, teachers. Anyone who has worked for or played for or married someone so stuck in their ways that it makes it impossible to continue in that job, that relationship or on that team. An anonymous note attached to this book might help...but first, read it yourself.

I found this book to be very eye opening. It uses every day concepts to solve large barriers within our personal and business activities. The examples and "charts" allow for ease of sharing the concepts. I have ordered a copy for each of my staff.

One of the most difficult things in life is to look within our own self and get real. This book gives one the recipe in order to start this exploration. It is a very easy read and down to earth. I would hight recommend this book.
Among my top 10 favorite self-development books March 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a fantastic book! If you're not familiar with its core concepts, the book is bound (no pun intended) to make you stop and think about how you relate to others.
We have more control than we realize in our lives and in our relationships, and if we pay more attention to the thoughts we have that encourage us to help someone else, we will experience less heartache and more joy.
An encouraging, empowering, and potentially life-changing literary work, Leadership and Self Deception is a must read.
The book is one of my favorites, and I have read it many times. The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict a book by the same author group is also a great read and provides more background to the story found within Leadership and Self-Deception.
Average Joe rates a book March 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First, this book was very easy to read because it was all written using simple monologue or dialogue form - a plus for the average joe. The story created helps answer any questions you (the reader) might have because the book's main character is also trying to understand the rules of "getting of the box and often questions them.
Second, this idea of "the box" is applicable to all aspects of life, not just the business related. After reading this book, I called my girlfriend and apologized for something I blamed her for when really the problem was that I had deceived myself into believing that I was innocent (placing blame is a major topic in the book).
Lastly, and LEAST important... I feel that although this book's psychological focus is a major factor of mastering leadership, I don't think this book has as much to do with leadership than it does with strengthening trust/relationships and understanding self-deception. The book doesn't offer much more on other strategies for leadership than that. Should have been called: "Leadership without Self-Deception".
