THE LITTLE BIG THINGS 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence

With some of the spirit of a sports announcer, business guru Tom Peters (IN SEARCH OF EXCELLENCE) offers these step-by-step guidelines to making life more meaningful both inside and outside the office. At times a little nasally and slightly droning, Peters’s narration could use more variety in vocal inflection. Such inflection would emphasize various important points in the text. This atonal effect may be due to his engineering background though the subject matter is much more humanistic than one would expect from someone educated in that discipline. The undifferentiated reading makes it difficult to pay attention over a long period of time despite the interest one may have in the content.
