One of the most likeable books I've read in years!

Inventive, insightful, instructive, inspiring and funny. Filling the Glass is a surprisingly effective and effecting book. One minute you're laughing out loud, the next you're nodding your head in agreement, the next you just have to pause to let a powerful point sink in.

A first rate business book.. A wonderful reading experience!

And I don't mean just business people--because this book is for everyone.
