I like all of Maxwell's work. A lot of his ideas bleed over into his books, but I think repetition is a key to learning; especially when you are listening and not reading. I am now listening to the 21 irrefutable laws. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be more than a manager or who wants to really make a difference in the world. I actually went and bought the hard copy version for reference and so I could take down some notes.

I thought that this book flowed very well. It was easy to grasp the concepts and I will be adding these new skills into my already succesful Arbonne business. Love the book!
