PICTURES.......2004-08-04

I say 5 starrs FOR THE PICTURES! The information may not be correct. Truthfully I didn't care as I was in for the pictures. But if you're going to buy it, BUY IT FOR THE PICTURES, not the information!

I LOVE THE BEATLES!!!! Oh and this was my first Beatle book when I was about 13, 3 years ago.

One of the worst Beatle books ever........2003-04-03

This book is so full of mistakes (as well as being poorly written and designed) it would be funny if I hadn't had to pay for it. Probably rushed out to take advantage of the Beatles' "new" success because of the "1" CD, this is one you should avoid.

Really BAD.......2000-12-16

I ran accross this book at a local book store and bought it for a Christmas gift. Being a first generation Beatles fan, I think I know a fair amount about the Fab Four. I found this book to be full of errors. A photo of Paul McCartney with Jane Asher is identified as Paul and Linda. Another picture is labeled as being of John and Yoko. Even a non-fan would be able to see that the people in the photograph are clearly NOT John and Yoko.

DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!

What a great read!.......2007-07-25

I took it on vacation with me and I couldn't put it down. A great book for aspiring athletes and coaches as well as your average Joe who works 9-5. The coaches discuss a variety of topics from their childhood to how they motivate their players. Any easy read for all ages.

Game of life.......2007-07-24

I've read through Game of Life and I enjoyed it very much. There are so many things to take from this book, not just into sports, but also some reflections on life. I would recommend this book to everybody.

Coaching advise from athletic coaches.......2007-06-27

A fun read, especially if yoiu're a sports fan. I read it in search of things that would help my own ability as a coach in my company. Much of it is light stuff but the easy read makes it fun nonetheless and there are few golden nuggets laced throughout the book.

Overcome Adversity.......2007-04-12

Anyone looking for inspiration, either for their own life or to share with others, will find a gold mine of quotes here. This book isn't just for sports fans.

Inspiring Lessons for Leading a Great Life.......2007-09-24

Mark has really compiled a great collection of some of life's greatest lessons. These are "street" learned lessons, not those taught in high schools and colleges. Once you have been out in the world for many years you will understand how truly important these lessons are to learn, retain and apply to everyday life. I am going to re-read the book, use it as a motivator and as a reference book. It covers such a wide variety of areas, virtually everyone can use it to get an objective, wise opinion on situations in life you are faced with. It has lasting value well beyond the initial read.

Learn How to Unlock Your Full Potential.......2007-08-21

"Freedom from Fear Forever: Len's Last Lessons" by Mark Matteson points out the astonishing fact that most of us are operating on less than 5 percent of our potential! What's holding us back? Fear. "Freedom from Fear Forever" defines fear as "something that begins in the mind and, if nourished, affects our emotions and ultimately our actions and decisions." This book is loaded with "life lessons" and journal questions to help readers banish their fears and unlock their full potential. Topics such as acquiring good habits, banishing worry, creating positive self-talk, setting goals, and much more are addressed. This book is for anyone who's ready to seize life by the horns and change their destiny.

Inspirational.......2007-08-08

If you like inspirational and self-help books, this one is for you. It's unorthodox in it's presentation of the material, and I like that. The story (which is unusual for self-help) is told as the author learns from a mentor named Len. It's to the point, and focused on message. I came away from each chapter feeling inspired to lift myself above the daily routine, to look for more, and do more. I judge a self-help book by how many pages I dog ear, and this book is full of them. I'm glad I read this book; it is one I will refer to often, and suggest that my dear friends read. Thank you to Mark Matteson for delivering such important reminders to all of us. Our days will be better as a result of this work.

Solid Advice in a Compact Package.......2006-01-06

I thoroughly enjoyed the practical advice contained in this little gem. It can function as a quick pick me up or you could delve into the details of each lesson and use it as a long term guide. Great Value!

Book Description

Have you ever looked back on an experience and thought, had I only known, it would all have turned out differently? In this inspiring book of life lessons, journalist Joe Kita asked men in their autumn years what they wish they had known 30 years ago. In the process, he gained a harvest of wisdom from the older generation, including their insights on war and peace, marriage and family, working and playing, setbacks and triumphs, and insights shared by such men as a world-class doctor, a record-holding sprinter, and even a man who traveled to the South Pole with Admiral Byrd. The result of these conversations is this thoughtful compendium of interviews and quotes on everything from courage to sex to fame.

Customer Reviews:

Delivering Promise.......2005-06-11

Joe Kita's book is an oyster overflowing with pearls. I harvested this one slowly, because it is clear how precious each one of them is. Wisdom of Our Father's does what other books try to do: it delivers on the promise of its title. Kita's essays about heroic men, deeply personal insights about his own father, and his courageous claims about what he knows team up with beautifully edited and organized information from fathers of all walks of life. And the true beauty of it is that the messages are universal. If you don't get this for your own dad for Father's Day, get it for yourself. Or your mom, wife, friends... Wisdom of our Fathers succeeds. It is a pleasure to read from endpaper to endpaper.

Awesome.......2003-06-06

All around great book. I highly recommed it. I lost my first copy and had to buy another. This and Jimmy the bartenders book and a great combination.

I never thought to ask.......2001-04-19

Every once in a while you read something that has a profound inpact on your life's perspective. This has got to be one of those reads. The questions here are those that you never ask but wished you had. I bought this for my father and many other men in my life, because after I read this I realized that, These are the questions that you should ask but few ever do. It's well worth the price.

Fine, fine job.......2000-05-14

Lots of little, digestible bits that you'll wish you could remember. I'd love to give the book to a friend, but then I wouldn't have it as a reference. Mr. Kita's description of a bike-riding trip he and his father went on is a great two-page essay. It's May 2000 and I'm surprised I hadn't heard of the book until now (maybe that's more me than the book). I'm thinking I'll be photocopying bits and pieces of this book for years and passing them on to friends as their various crises hit. A very, very good father's day gift.

Inspiring book for men of all ages -- fathers or sons.......1999-06-16

There's a scene in the movie City Slickers where Jack Palance tells Billy Crystal that the secret to life is just "one thing." I feel like this book is a list of hundreds of that "one thing" you wished you had learned from your father or things that you should teach your sons.

You feel like you're in the garage, or on the ball field, or at the dining room table having a one-on-one conversation with a bunch of great fathers. The great thing is that it's not celebrity wisdom -- but advice from everyday fathers you probably have never heard of. It's almost like you're talking to the man down the street who always seemed to know everything, or the grandfather you never knew.

Book Description

A book of inspirational wisdom from the author of Elizabeth I CEO and Patton on Leadership-lessons in leadership, courage, and responsibility..

Alongside Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt stands as one of the greatest leaders of the twentieth century. Elected president four times, he inspired and motivated the nation during the Depression and through World War II, all the while battling a debilitating physical ailment. Now Alan Axelrod, author of the bestselling leadership guides Elizabeth I CEO and Patton on Leadership, distills FDR's life into fourteen leadership themes: Purpose and Principle; Change; Self-Interest and Self-Sacrifice; Confidence and Courage; and more. Among the many FDR maxims featured:

€ If you treat people right they will treat you right-90 percent of the time.
€ It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
€ The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
€ When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.

Nothing to Fear is sure to be an inspirational and oft-cited volume for leaders-in the business world and beyond.

Customer Reviews:

Roosevelt 101.......2003-07-31

I usually detest these types of books, which are written by business executives trying to pose as top-flight historians. But I was surprised and pleased by Axelrod's approach to FDR, and this would be an excellent book for people new to Roosevelt. The author assembles various quotes from Roosevelt and then applies them to real life situations we all face and fret about. Of course FDR was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was a spoiled, coddled young man. The polio that struck him at the age of 39 was the great leveler and it transformed Franklin from a "feather duster" into a truly great man. Axelrod leads the reader down the path of Roosevelt's life, dispensing the major details and eliminating all the superfluous fluff. This results in a tight, well-written book.

It's fashionable in today's political climate to trash Roosevelt and trot out oodles of mis-information about the greatest President of the 20th century. Thankfully, this little book sets the record straight on a great and essential American.

Axelrod Again in Top Form.......2003-07-10

Those already familiar with Axelrod's previous works already know that he possesses a unique talent for recognizing and then examining with meticulous care especially effective qualities of personality and character in great leaders such as Elizabeth I and George S. Patton.

I recently read two separate but related books, this one and Celia Sandys and Jonathan Littman's We Shall Not Fail: the Inspiring Leadership of Winston Churchill. The connections between Roosevelt and Churchill are numerous and significant. Some doubt remains as to how close their personal friendship was but there is no doubt of their mutual respect as together they and their respective nations faced what once seemed certain defeat by the Axis powers in World War II.

The title of his book is obviously derived from Roosevelt's memorable assertion that "the American people have nothing to fear but fear itself." In fact, of course, there was much to fear as German armies swept across Europe, conquering and then occupying one country after another. It is almost incomprehensible that while still emerging from the Great Depression, the U.S. became fully involved in two different major wars, one in Europe and another in what is generally referred to as "the Pacific." Roosevelt had only recently begun his third term as president when Pearl Harbor was attacked and was dead before World War II ended.

Axelrod suggests a number of lessons about which can be learned from Roosevelt performance as president, observing that "For FDR leadership was practical inspiration or inspired practicality. Take your pick; the two are impossible to separate, and you cannot tell where one leaves off and the other begins." These lessons are arranged according to fourteen different themes which provide the book with its structure. Axelrod explains that the order of the themes "does not reflect the chronology of Roosevelt's life and career, but it is intended to build a coherent picture of FDR as a revealing model of leadership values, ideas, skills, traits, tactics, and strategies. Within each theme, however, the leadership lessons are deployed in chronological order." As is also true of Axelrod's analyses of Elizabeth I and Patton, the material in this book is cleverly organized as well as brilliantly presented. I especially appreciate his selection of appropriate statements by Roosevelt which help to illustrate key points. Here are a four brief excerpts which are representative of Axelrod's thinking and writing.

"A key to Roosevelt's leadership was his genius for seamlessly joining idealism to practical action. For him the perfect piece of legislation, the perfect social program was one in which it was impossible to tell where theory stopped and practice started. They were one." (pages 3-4)

"A leader signals in many ways that he is in touch with those he leads: He acknowledges the needs and concerns of the organization. He acknowledges and praises the achievements of the institution. he demonstrates that he shares the values of the organization. And he ensures that he speaks the language of those he leads." (page 74)

"Leadership of any complex enterprise is rarely a matter of convincing people to `follow me,' but rather a mission to persuade each individual member of the enterprise that he or she has common cause with every other member. This is an especially difficult mission when times are tough and individual [in italics] survival looms larger than the survival of the collective enterprise." (page 173)

"In any enterprise threat must be recognized. Once acknowledged, it must also be understood that inaction in the face of threat is surrender, not safety. An effective leader always makes the stakes clear. Choosing to fight is dangerous, to be sure, but in many situations opting for the apparently safer course of hunkering down in resolute inaction is simply defeat -- the very consequence one fears in a fight." (page 222)
