The perfect book to climb the corporate ladder

I was given the title of this book at a seminar I attended. This was the best investment for my career. No school can teach you how to play the game the way this book does. I love the way Mr. Coleman puts the language of the book in very simple terms. If you are intersted in getting ahead in your company follow the rules that Mr. Coleman lays out and you will be in management/upper management in know time.

A Book that Spans Time

Harvey Coleman's words in this book are good for a life time! I've heard him speak and read the book multiple times! Great insites!

Practical, Relevant, Timeless

In my last position I made this mandatory reading for everyone on my management team. In my view, this book is one of the most enjoyable and enlightening pieces of business literature on the market. The information is laid out in a very clear and concise fashion that anybody should be able to follow. Amazing how the formal educational system always misses out on this level of information.....

Insightful, riviting and thought provoking.

This is one of those reference material books. A classic and must read for anyone and everyone desiring to attain any level of success. This book is one that you must go back and read many times as you will not gain all the insight by reading once. This book highlights a valuable life lesson that it's not all about me. The author with passion and excellence explains in no uncertain terms "The Game". I imagine that this was a labor of love and catharsis for the author. Once you have the information do with it what you wish the responsiblity is yours. Remember knowledge applied is wisdom.

"Empowering Yourself" is an Ivy-league MBA in a book

"Empowering Yourself" is an excellent source of information on how the real game is played. This is a book that needs to be read twice. The first time you read Coleman's work, you will feel helpless, angry, and even have the desire to revolt against the status quo. The first reading really motivates you to either change the system or merely give up even trying to play. On the second pass, you really get a feel for the power of this book. You realize that "Empowering Yourself" is a blueprint to success. Coleman is merely providing the reader with the design for success in the world we live in. It is up to the reader to decide whether it is worth going through with these plans. The analogy which I get from this book lies in the similarities between the "Rules of the Game" and the laws which govern gravity. We have all had the desire to fly, unbounded by the earth, flying free as a bird. But to do so, we would have to suspend the laws of gravity.As much as we revolt against physics, the laws of gravity will not be broken by man. Neither will the power structure which we currently live under (at least not in our lifetime). So it is the readers choice to learn to fly by man-made methods, become a modern day Don Quixote and fight the windmills of societys power structure, or be content to travel the earth by foot. This is a must read for all those who want to fly and are willing to pay the price.
