Our Top Reviews

  • Easy Conversational Reading for All

    I would recommend this to anyone starting out in the workplace or for those who have put a number of years. For the newcomers, this can help translate some of the seemingly inexplicable idiosyncrasies of work life. For those who have spent some time working, it serves as a refresher that one is not crazy, but one can come out on top out of all the craziness.

  • Loaded with Valuable Insights

    This is a quick, fun, and insightful read. It is full of advice that would be helpful to anyone, no matter what stage they are in their career. The book covers just about every subject you encounter in a work setting. It’s a very introspective read, loaded with wisdom. I imagine myself reading it again and again and taking something new and valuable out of it each time. I strongly recommend this book to any working and/or aspiring professional!

  • An Easy Read with Practical Advice!

    Perceptions and Expectations provides great insights from a 'seasoned' engineer who has experienced the complex world of business, management and leadership. The book offers brief, easy to read chapters which are chock full of real life examples and useful tips. It also offers great insights on people dynamics and includes many great analogies. This book would make a great gift for college grads, students preparing to get into the working world or anyone joining a mid-large sized company. I'd highly recommend it!
