Just A Delightful Book

I found this book while wandering in a used bookstore. Looked good so I bought it and it sat in my car for about a month. I picked it up last week and could not put it down. The book is a fictional story, but it was capitivating. I wished the characters in the story were real, and that I could meet them and become part of their circle. I was touched by the message of the book, and I believe that you will be as well. The characters in the book are what examples of whom I want to surround myself with. Read the book and allow yourself to get lost in the story.

"Purpose Driven Life" (without the religious overtone)

You will have a spiritual experience reading Radical Edge, but not like what you might have experienced reading Purpose Driven Life or other "find yourself" books. Farber continues his personal journey where he left off in Radical Leap. His writing is honest, fun, and edgy. His first person account of his observations and feelings are a critical part of the human experience. The characters with whom he interacts are so real that I could see them and hear them. (Which of us hasn't had to deal with a difficult Cam Summerfield???) The best bet is to read both of Farber's books back-to-back, as Edge builds seamlessly on Leap. You will find yourself wrestling with who you are and who you want to become, but it will be a great journey to take, and Farber stays right there with you the entire time, with some great how-to's at the end of the book. It's the "WUP" upside the head that many professionals need today.

The Radical Edge radically rocks my world!

Steve Farber is a genius! The virtuosity with which he tells his story is apparent from page 1 to the very end. His dialog is inspired and really defines the characters with a wealth of empathy and brilliant intimacy. Mr. Fraber has an approachable and unpretentious style that takes you by the hand and leads you through an exciting journey like a life long buddy. His intuition is amazing and his insight is spot on. I laughed, I cried and I loved. What a magnificent book. I'm ready to change the world thanks to The Radical Edge!

This is a Great Read!

Steve Farber has done it again. The Radical Edge takes off where the Radical Leap left off and it does take off. Filled with practical and depthful advice, The Radical Edge is a promise fulfilled. Farber has a way of presenting powerful ideas in a simple and straight forward fashion that speaks directly to making positive business and life choices, and he does so with a level of humor that makes this book a great read. Not only is the parable that drives this book well-thought out, but Farber's execution is excellent. This book and the earlier one may be focused on the business audience, but they provide wonderful and insightful advice for anyone who believes that living a successful life has more to do with who we are and how well we relate to others rather than how much stuff we can accumulate. Farber has really nailed what it takes to live "the good life." Now all we have to do is amp it up.

This book WUP'ed me upside the head!

I won this book on a website called Inbubble wrap and had no real idea what to expect but I am always interested in improving my skills. I picked up the book on a Saturday morning and spent the whole day, on and off, reading. It makes so much sense and Farber's writing style makes it easy to digest. The most important advice I got from the book is to love the people you serve. There is no higher calling, no matter how you accomplish this. I am starting my own WUP and am re-reading the book. I highly recommend Radical Edge!
