Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-01 00:00:00 Ken Rapoza Another reread of a book from my past. As the title describes it, Dinosaur Brains explores the types of personalities you may be dealing with at work or anywhere. The primary aspects of the Dinosaur Brain include instinct, emotion, and irrationality among other traits. The author presents various ideas on how to cope with them and even thrive in the corporate jungle. The book contains some insight into developing your strategy and applying it (how to act, not react) so you can improve your work environment. Similar information can be found in other books, but this one was also entertaining in my opinion.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-21 00:00:00 Miljenko Horvat I found this book at a time when I really needed it. I was dealing with a psychopath at work, a man who left behind him decades of human wreckage. Ruined careers, wounded souls, emptier wallets, and incredible anger were his legacy. Yet he maintained a veneer of cordiality, the very picture of a gentleman. I accepted the task of mastering him. The company needed a software project completed in spite of this man, and they were willing to pay top dollar to the person willing and able to take him on... and win. I had met his type before, but hardly knew anyone so miserable as he seemed to be. Other books and life experiences gave me a good framework for understanding power in relationships. This book gave me key insights into what went on inside the minds of the "stuffed suit" guys who had serious personality disorders.
