Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-10 00:00:00 Matt Rifley This is a great textbook! Very easy to read chapter after chapter. The content applies to everyone in real life- so it is easy to relate and take the content into consideration. This Resource Management book is a great resource! :) Very good to refer back to during a difficult time.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-08-12 00:00:00 Mikki Williams The ethics of this book are somewhat disturbing. The author himself wonders throughout if it's wrong to do what he recommends. At one point he asks "What if everybody did this?" and his non-responsive answer is "Everybody doesn't". The honest answer is that if "everybody did this" there would be mass chaos. For example, he describes a jackass who has already gotten 15 speeding-tickets and gets pulled over for doing over 50 in a 20MPH zone but talks his way out of another ticket by using the skills he learned from the author. Well, what would be the result if every dangerous driver got away with their reckless behavior? More death and injury to innocent people. Not good. Of course, if you are a sociopath and your only "goal in the real world" is "getting more" for yourself, then that is not a concern. Anyway, this is just not a great book, with certain phrases/sentences repeated dozens, if not hundreds, of times. The parts that are useful and not evil can be found elsewhere with better presentation.
