Just finished Tom Peter's latest book, Re-Imagine!This book is no doubt one of the best business books I've ever read. Well, to call it a "business" book is a bit narrow. It is business, but it's more self-help and career help than anything. A personal guide for introspection, and helping you carve out an interesting, successful, and "WOW" career. I'm reading this at a time when I'm leaving my comfortable cubicle job and striking out on my own, so the timing for me is perfect. Importantly, it offers ME clear guidance with respect to how I should be thinking about my work, my projects, my deliverables, the people I want to interact and work with, etc.
Having said all this, it's not a book for all. It's graphically intensive, to the point where some of the pages are difficult to read. There is a smattering of "colorful" language throughout. Dr. Peters also uses extreme (but accurate) examples to illustrate his points, which to some may seem like using the exceptions to draw conclusions. I think he also runs out of gas towards the end of the book.
Regardless, it's a wonderful, wonderful (sic.) book which I fully recommend.
