Customer Reviews

Necessary reading, whether you're in business or not.

The only complaint I have is that this is passed off as a business book. Nonsense!! Leave out the "corporate" words & you've got vital advice for anyone literate enough to open it. No mumbo-jumbo, either, just some solid advice on how to get ahead in life by being honest & expecting the same. Read it every few months.

Don't Be Turned Off By The Title (Mystic)

As an avid reader of many business books I had this one shelved for the better part of the year, finally cracked it open only to reveal thoughts and introspective ideas how to "become" a better person and leader. Simple and obvious points are usually the ones we overlook everyday because we are usually looking for complex solutions to our problems. But the points outlined here are practical and immediately useful and implementable. If you think the problem is "out there", read this, you'll see what you and your actions (or inactions) did to contribute to the problem and what you can do now to head off problems. A MUST READ. AN EASY READ. AN ENJOYABLE READ. YOU MAY BE PUT OFF BY THE WORD "MYSTIC" - DON'T BE!!

A practical manual we have to consult very often.

Innovation, creativity, leadership start in the individual and the Corporate Mystic distill in a very condensed and practical way how CEOs and leaders by committing themselves to integrity foster commitment, vision and innovation in organizations, and this then explains why in them, they so often fail. Today when we hear everyday these words The corporate Mystic is a must-read for every one, but more than a book to read it is a practical manual we have to consult very often

a clear, brilliant work on authentic communication

This extraordinary book is the most ruthlessly on-target review of leadership and communication that I have encountered or expect to. Most of what's here covers not what to do, but who to BE to lead and conduct business most effectively. If you are willing to truly take on what is shared here, your business and your life will not be the same again. This book shows that the only obstacle in your path has been you, and assists in getting you out of your own way. I have lost count of how many copies of this book I have bought and passed on already, but many of the recipients have affirmed that it is the best book they ever read, and that it has certainly made a huge difference in transforming businesses, teams and specific crucial meetings. An absolute must read for anyone with their eyes open.

Must be read !

In two weeks time I read the book more than twice! Do NOT read it as a "reading book" but rather as a "365 days practice book". Ask yourself the questions and be with them. Do not try to give 'fast' answers. This book had changed my entire perspective apon Integrity, Vision and Intuition. Have yourself creating the breakthroughs in your life and in the lives of your dearests ! Ronen Ben-Naphtali, Israel
