Rating: Summary: essential help for every important relationship Review: This book goes deeper into the anatomy of an apology than anything I've seen previously. Since it is part of the human condition to screw up, a part I seem to participate in fully, it is extremely useful to know how to go about getting yourself out of the dog house and how to give yourself the best possible chance of being forgiven. My wife and I conduct couples education workshops, which includes skills in conflict resolution. "The One Minute Apology" has made a major contribution to our understanding of the necessary elements of an effective apology.
Rating: Summary: Simplistic Not Simple Review: This book is more idiotic tripe along the lines of "One Minute Manager" and "Who Moved My Cheese?"
As other reviewers have said, if the authors know so much about apologizing, they should apologize to every reader of their book(s) for wasting time that could have more productively been used waiting for the subway or staring at the wall or something.
It is amazing the number of managers who have been brainwashed into thinking that bedtime stories for six-year olds are "good business reading."
Rating: Summary: Simplistic Genius Review: This book provides a sensationally simplistic method of practicing the art of apologizing. It brings to life the importance of an authentic apology. No one will walk away from this book with a question mark. Definitely "A Powerful Way to Make Things Better."
Rating: Summary: The One Minute Apology: A Powerful Way to Make Things Better Review: This was one of the best books that I have ever read. It was so easy to read and it had the most impact on my life of any book that I have read. I am going to give this book to friends and family as Christmas presents.
Rating: Summary: "A Zero Stars rating" Review: When I purchased the book I was expecting to learn something of value, and while I agree with the book's premise that apologies can be highly effective, it totally failed on providing me any significant insights as to how to best execute an apology. The book is way to superficial! It just states the obvious. How do I go about getting an apology from the authors of the book? Also, it appears that Ken is running out of "material" for his next "great" book when he stoops to co-authoring with his literary agent.
