THE OBVIOUS All You Need to Know in Business. Period.

Here is advice as simple and timeless as what we all got from our parents, preachers, and third-grade teachers: think of honesty and not being a jerk as secret weapons of business success. Don't think of this book as a collection of platitudes. Alan Sklar's vocal wit and flawless cadences imbue power and majesty to this little work. He helps us recognize that these simple-to-understand but often difficult-to-practice concepts are the surest way to success in any activity involving other humans. This is a book for everyone. It's pitched as a business book because its author is an executive. However, if you're a teacher, parent, student, or even a truck driver, you have much to relearn from this little wonder.
