Can
creativity and enthusiasm be learned from a
smelly, fishmonger?
You bet! One of the most important values I
learned from this book is that it's possible
to gain wisdom from some of the most unsuspecting
places. Never judge a book by its cover....
you could be missing out on a lot!

Fish!
by Steven C. Lundin, Harry Paul, and
John Christensen
reviewed by Nicholas Beatty
One
thing that I will never understand about society is
how easily we get trapped into ruts in our professional
and personal lives. Yet, we do nothing to rectify
the situation. Complaining doesn't count, my friends!
With
thousands of business "How-to" books flooding the
market, Fish! is a welcome change as it tackles
some very important issues in a fun and easily understood
manner.
In
this engrossing parable, a single mom/corporate manager
is given a seemingly impossible task. She is responsible
for turning an office that has been described as a
toxic-energy dump into an enthusiastic and productive
environment.
Overcome
with fear of losing her job, the book's main character,
Mary Jane, loses hope and retreats to her own private
world every lunch hour as she walks the downtown Seattle
streets. One afternoon she walks to the world-famous
Pike Street Fish Market for the first time. Little
did she know that when she met a smelly fishmonger
named Lonnie, it would be the beginning of a wonderful
new life!
If
you are content to live with whatever life throws
your way, this book is not for you. If you feel that
within your hands lies the power to change your destiny,
this book is an effective tool that will help you
on your path to success. Endorsed by some of the world's
most successful businessmen, Fish! is a surprisingly
important book you can't afford to miss.
