This is the book that started it all. I was recently reorganizing my books and ran across a copy of the original version. I decided to reread it and was really a little dissappointed. I remember reading this back in the 80’s and being quite impressed with it.
So why was I not impressed with it twenty years later? Well, a few reasons. Back in the 80’s, we bought our books at a place called a book store. There, you could actually thumb through the book before buying it. So, you could easily see that there wasn’t much content. The book is 112 pages, but could have easily fit on half that number. Ah, the magic of formatting. Today, we buy our books online and cannot see that we are dupped into believing there is more content than what is actually here.
Also, the basic concept here revolves around 3 simple principles, 1 minute goal setting, 1 minute praising and 1 minute reprimanding. There you have it. Don’t get me wrong, this is great stuff to know and live by, but by today’s standards, this is simply not enough content to warrant the price.
If you haven’t read this book, by all means, get a copy. But don’t pay $14.95 for it. It’s easy enough to find a nice used copy for a couple of dollars.
