“Judging your book by its cover, it appeared to be a simple and traditional view that I wasn't sure would assist me... well, it turned out that I found it to be much more than a productive distraction from the grind of trying to find a job.  It turned out to be a valuable resource in my success in acquiring the ideal management position I was looking for.  I found that the simple concepts directly applied to my situation.” K.
