What? Me Read? 
Wasn’t it such a good book? Totally blew my mind!
Yes, I loved it!
I just ordered this for myself for Christmas! 🙂
I think you’ll like it! Also, if you are not aware of another book, I think it might be one that you would be interested in, just based on some of your comments. I just finished reading it, but I don’t know if I’ll be reviewing it yet for awhile. It is Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain.
Oh yes, that’s on my list (and shelf) as well! I’m hoping to get to it in the next month or two. Did you like it?
I thought it was pretty good. At first it seemed too much like a standard management book, but it had some interesting information and some good points. Also useful and practical suggestions.
A friend of mine thought it was too data-heavy. At any rate, I’ll be curious to read it (and your review, if you end up blogging about it).
No, I don’t think so at all. She presents the results of studies, but I think they are needed to be persuasive. She does more with interviews and case studies than with numbers.
