Customer Reviews

Basic Business info

This book is a great primer for handling difficult people, which is a large percentage of time for anyone working, whether co-workers in a large company or customers/vendors/employeees in a small company. Practical approaches to dealing with problems and turning them into your advantage. Reminds me of One Minute Manager in its simplicity yet practicality. Quick read, yet I got several ideas that affect my business immediately.

Let go my Ego

Easy read, yes. Must read, yes. I believe this is uncharted territory for business and life books. Most people don't admit they have an Ego. Joel shows you that you need to leverage your Ego to both your advantage and the advantage of an ongoing relationship. It definitely reminds me of good old fashion advice I received as a child about valuing each and every relationship that you have. Without friction, you have nothing, really. You have not tested the limits. Without being tackled, you haven't tried to run downfield. Without being told no and given objections, you haven't tried to sell. Without being heartbroken, you haven't tried to love. Go find your friction,but ... after you read this book!

Big advice from a little book

Easy to read and great information. If you think Raving Fans, Who Moved My Cheese or the One Minute Manager are great books, then you have to add this to your collection!

A great gift!

A quick and easy read. I was able to see myself in all of the chapters...A true feel good book.

Practical advice for personal and professional situations

I really enjoyed reading The Little Book on Big Ego. It was easy to understand, and I thought of several situations where I could have used one of the techniques. I love that I can send the book anonymously - I've already got a couple people in mind.
