THE ALADDIN FACTOR

The CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL authors describe the benefits of asking for what you want through a good mixture of success stories from their personal lives, their consulting practices and the success-story repertoire. This particular adaptation and the lively, alternating voices of the two authors make the program move along quickly; both men are excellent storytellers. There is a corny Aladdin dramatization at the onset of the program, and one of the authors indulges in some overacting, but this fits with the program's inspirational tone. Even listeners who aren't devotees of "you can do it" tapes will enjoy the stories and learn a few negotiating tips in the bargain. T.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG 96]
